The Euro style hangs out a bit farther as well -the front was already wider than the rear

Re: Dump truck
 

Steve - your right awful tight fit ..... I prefer the track width of the made up rims but I like how the hub nuts fit in the euro wheels..... and yes I am anxious for my X-mas present....

Re: Dump truck
 

I worked on adding the splash gurads for behind the wheels - I'm real happy with how they turned out ...

Re: Izzy's Dump truck
 

Looks great Izzy and this should be a fun little dump truck.

Travis

Re: Izzy's Dump truck
 

Really coming along nicely Chris! Between you and Travis I've seen you guys do a lot of neat things with a Granite that are new to me and original because of that.

Love the stance of the truck and the way it still retains the Mack look and not just a Granite body on a King Hauler chassis (not to knock anyone who's done this in the past, your conversion is still respected nonetheless).

Keep up the great work!

Re: Izzy's Dump truck
 

Travis - Ive had it runnin around a good bit - is a lot of fun......Thanks for all your help with the parts.....

Been working on hiding the ESC, mouniting a power switch, routing the battery wires etc & waiting for parts......

Re: Izzy's Dump truck

Re: Izzy's Dump truck
 

very nice, i like how you mounted up the tanks

Re: Izzy's Dump truck
 

looking good Chris. The tanks are a nice touch.

Re: Izzy's Dump truck
 

I-m impressed with the tanks too

Kinda hard to see -but I used the little plates that come with the flatbed kit that tie the chains down- threaded those and mounted to the king steps -then drilled holes for them to stick through and bent them over on the inside

Hopefully these pics make some sense
