Been working on my "Stairway to Heaven"!

Kind of hard to believe you could get to heaven in a Ford but its been getting me to cloud-base for more then 10 years.... knock on wood!

The essence of this modification was to increase the height and size of the final platform and be able to lower "steps" to get me there. Making that last lift into the cradles easier should add up to and easier loading....with less stress. Making it easier on everybody. (crew and pilot)

Getting everything to fold up was a bit of a trick. Further getting it all to just plug into the trailer hitch was even harder. As it turned out I ended up having to modify and add hardware to the cradle brackets. As it turned out, it did end up working pretty slick.

Well it looks like a lot of stuff (weight) to have added to the truck it turns out to be less then 60 pounds given I removed the stock tail gate and the old ramp. Still working on some tricks for the outriggers, again to make things easier.

Man spring is sooooo far away.
