I was just wondering if any one has tackled a project like this before or seen or knows of a company that makes them. Im going to get an older 4x4 pick up truck, late 70's with the gas tank mounted behind the seat in the cab. Remove the box and mount a post pounder off the drivers side of the truck. on the passanger side of the truck i will mount the power unit for the pounder, this is to help balance the weight across the mid section of the truck. Over the axle I will make up a bunk of some description to hold a bundle of posts laying the same way as the axle. Over the back of the truck i will have 4 to 6 farm fencing wire poles This is where the wire will be spun off from. Ive done alot of work custom post pounding with a JD 4400, flexi coil all hydrolic pounder towed behind a pick up an trailer, its a big pain in the rear hauling around all that equipment. but the terrain in my area is rocky, hilly and most jobs are bushy or full of tree's. The up side of a truck unit will be alot cheaper to runn, I can charge less and pick up a few more jobs. All the tools I need are on the truck not sitting beside the road on the towing truck like they are now. Just wondering if any one has any thoughts, suggestions , compliants about this idea. I think it will work but could use a second answer.

With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I�m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I�ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I�ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see.
