Flip front end

Yep a bit of onfo on the web ... i find just googling at images then if i see what I am looking for ill click on it. Its for a 46 GMC long wheelbase panel truck im putting on an s10 frame already got the frame to length and welded up ..now gotta pull the body off the frame and drop it on..D
 
I built this one years back. Used a steel frame, and steering cylinders from a boat to lift it.

I've seen one on an F1 Ford PU that had a 3 piece piano style 'flop' hinge at the front where the nose could be flopped forward a couple-three inches then tilted up. That way the bottom of the fenders wouldnt hit as it went up.

When I did a tilt bed and front on a 69 chevy.I made a pipe hinge on the bottom of two pieces of C channel back to back ][ then after placing it in the frame and tack welding I sawalled the frame so the whole piece would break over.
