next to work on is the door hinges & the wood top boards

Re: Izzy's Dump truck
 

A nifty little tandem axle pup with a low pro stiff pole (like my pup) & a box about the same length as your trk would be the ultimate duet for this build Izzy. :cool:

Lower your pintle about 10mm. ;)

Re: Izzy's Dump truck
 

Yup - a pup......was thinking the pintle was too hig - bummer since I have strut bars in the bottom - what apain to assemble........but then again - that's what we like......

Re: Izzy's Dump truck
 

Hay Chris most pintle hitches are made adjustable on both the truck and the trailer but almost always adjustable on the trailer so it can be set for a fixed pintle on a truck. In the 1:1 world you don't always have a good mounting option on the truck. So I would suggest making the pup fit what you have. Just an idea.:cool:

Re: Izzy's Dump truck
 

Thanks for the suggestion - never really been around one

Re: Izzy's Dump truck
 

Hey Izzy, I measured my truck (Mack CL 713) this afternoon, it sit's at about 22 1/2-23'' range, at the bottom of the "throat" Hope this help's!
Later, Neil#2 aka doodlebug.

Re: Izzy's Dump truck
 

Thanks doodlebug - I'll check mine ....

Re: Izzy's Dump truck
 

You've got quite a bit of box overhang there Izzy. :confused:

How far below is the tailgate covering the pintle with the box raised high enough for clean out?

Re: Izzy's Dump truck
 

Hi Izzy this is awesome :D how the **** I missed it I don't know as I want to do something similar to my Bruder Mack some time in the future :p seems to me you Construction guys have more fun than the rest of us:D

Cheers Tracy

Re: Izzy's Dump truck
 

The chassis and the box is built around the bucket, aluminum

Congratulations for the construction!!!

Thanks,

Carlos

Re: Izzy's Dump truck
