Fred, the pto setup on the screw drive is cool and so is the e-brake. Always nice to see something unique.:cool:

Wow Freddy that's looking REALLY nice. :eek: :cool: Just fantastic.

Not sure what you were planning to do on the grill pieces to black out behind the letters. I was just taking a black Sharpie marker and filling in behind the letters and the S logo. Don't worry about getting marks on the letters - just come back with a rag a little damp with alcohol and clean the black off the letters. It's tricky but works. Let me know if you find a better way.

Re: Some real old & some real new
 
WOW! Thanks Guys!
Ole Joe did a nice job on these parts.It's never going to be the same when the next aeromax comes up for buildin.:(
Travis,Like two or three years ago,I gave Probie a 10" dump box for a bet we had. Since he's gotten that box,I've probably built 6 dump trucks,& 3 dump trailers.While his sit in a heap in the closet! Nice Huh??
Now Es-sey,if I remember right,seems you were sayin something about primer gray & purple flames.:eek::eek: It was spoda be white,but was shootin another cab red one day,& decided to put a little color on it to see how bad the body looked. It sucked,so redid the body,& just shot it red.
Now I'm glad I did.
Well,finish up the lite plates for under the cab,& mounted them. Also added some reflective tape down the sides of the box.

Looking great FReddy. As it has been said mang times earlier this is one of the hottest dumps I've seen. I thought about doing one but never truly liked the looks enough until now This is truly an inspirational build and makes me want to jump on board with a dump. Thinking I may have to change up now

Re: Some real old & some real new.Now Sterling Dump!
 
Not much else to say other than wow Fred. The Sterling looks great and have to say that red paint looks so deep and wet, did you wax it or is that just a bunch of clear on her? Love the conversion and wish I had a body I coulda got that for. Hopefully he'll be back soon and we can have some more Sterling's around.

Re: Some real old & some real new.Now Sterling Dump!
 
Really nice pops. I know it took alot to put away that black paint. Probably your best dump (aside from the side dumpers).

Re: Some real old & some real new.Now Sterling Dump!
 
Freddy, just OUTSTANDING WORK! Another great build, you are the master. I'm a Ford guy too so this is extra special.

I'm going to have to get one of your dump boxes SOON! Just have to save a bit more.

Again, thank you for posting another great build,

Jim
