Post Side truck dump bodies
 

I've been quietly working away on these. Originally I was only going to build one for a customer but then once I got started I thought I should build a second kit to sell separately. The customer build is for a King chassis with a 3D printed Ford L9000 cab. The other will be setup as a direct bolt on for a stock, day cab King Hauler.

Here's what I have so far...

The one in front/left is/will be up for sale.

A little progress update. Hopefully just one more day of fab work before coating.

Just wanted to share a couple shots of the L9000 box mounted on it's new chassis. Lots of detail work to go on the cab yet but the box is a knock out!

Re: Post Side truck dump bodies
 

Second shot won't post

Re: Post Side truck dump bodies
 

Let's try cleaning that up...

Truck looks really good!

Re: Post Side truck dump bodies
 

Thanks for the compliment Frizzen and the picture assist!

Re: Post Side truck dump bodies
 

I agree......Really good :) Lot of work hours right there. :cool:

Re: Post Side truck dump bodies
 

Where can we find a build thread for this rig?

Re: Post Side truck dump bodies
 

Wow! :eek: Great job that’s one badass dumper right there :cool:

Re: Post Side truck dump bodies
 

Looking great Dennis! I'm very happy to be a part of another awesome build!:cool:

Re: Post Side truck dump bodies
 

Nice :)

Re: Post Side truck dump bodies
 

GREAT job Dennis!

Re: Post Side truck dump bodies
 

Thanks for all the great comments guys! This one has been a fun build because of the cab being so different.
I will be starting a build thread in the construction part of the forum soon so I can quit hijacking Reg's thread. At least this time I remembered to take pictures as I went.
As a preview; the most important step in this build, contact Reg and get one of his dump boxes coming!

Re: Post Side truck dump bodies
 

I have almost finished up another one of these post sides. It is a custom length for use on a 4 axle truck. I have a few minor details to add on today and then it will be off to coating on Monday. The box in the background is for sale and will also head into the coating shop Monday. If anyone is interested please PM for details. It is for a standard length KH daycab.

Re: Post Side truck dump bodies
 

Here's another pair I just finished up. These ones were a lot more work but turned out nice I think.

Re: Post Side truck dump bodies
 

Are those "pea gates" I see on the back on them tailgates? That's killer awesome, if so!

Re: Post Side truck dump bodies
 

Yes sir. little itty bitty doors.

Re: Post Side truck dump bodies
 

Reg, that's so awesome! Just like my 1:1

It's ALMOST PERFECT! almost, it needs longer to fit a 6 axle truck, & have a 7th hanging off the box.....a SUPER dump.

Re: Post Side truck dump bodies
 

Well stay tuned then. You're gonna see some of that real soon.

Re: Post Side truck dump bodies
 

Very nice looking work Reg, as always! I like the "pea gates" nice touch.

Re: Post Side truck dump bodies
 

OMG! Really? I will have to buy one of thems if so. PM comming your way.

Re: Post Side truck dump bodies
 

Just a quick mock-up/pre-assembly with a cab I had nearly ready....of course, not the final color, but it gives a good idea

Re: Post Side truck dump bodies
 

It's a massive looking beast.

And there's nothing wrong with that green!

Re: Post Side truck dump bodies
 

Thanks !

Nothing wrong with the green. Just for another project ;)

Re: Post Side truck dump bodies
 

From where did you acquire the Mack cab? Reminds me of when I first started driving truck, I drove a Mack tractor much like that one.

Re: Post Side truck dump bodies
 

I got the excellent base from shapeways (designer : CAA52) but slightly modified it in some ways (windshield posts, headlights, etc.)

Re: Post Side truck dump bodies
 

You can find some awesome stuff on Shapeways! :D

Re: Post Side truck dump bodies
