Half-round Dump Box
I have been wanting to try and build one of these for a while but hadn't really found the time so when a customer asked if I would be interesting in doing one I was excited. I put the order on the to do list and it's time has come up.
This will be going on an extended chassis with a drop axle. Here's what I have so far... I put in a false floor so that the screwdrive is hidden a little more. I didn't just want to leave a hump in the middle of the box floor so double walling the bottom was the only option. http://i1293.photobucket.com/albums/...ps327e44c4.jpg http://i1293.photobucket.com/albums/...ps21814067.jpg http://i1293.photobucket.com/albums/...ps2bbcf6a3.jpg http://i1293.photobucket.com/albums/...ps19137c5a.jpg http://i1293.photobucket.com/albums/...pse73e0862.jpg I still have a ton of work to do but what do you guys think?

Sweet work Reg! I love the half round tubs. Yours looks great.

Re: Half-round Dump Box
Thanks a lot guys. I think something similar to this will go on my "options" list. I don't believe anyone else is offering this type of box but I could be wrong?

Re: Half-round Dump Box
That gives me a inspiration as was contemplating the build of a Half Pipe frameless dump trailer. I just ordered a really nice ScaleArt Multi-stage ram that would work perfectly for a build like that!!

Re: Half-round Dump Box
That's the only body style that I use on my 1:1 Mack! I don't like sqaure box's anymore.
Look great so far Reg! Cheers, Neil. |

Re: Half-round Dump Box
No it's not bad , some operators can't seem to put enough on.
I haul a lot of demolition, so I like not having corners to hang up on. High lift tailgate is super too! Cheers, Neil. |

Re: Half-round Dump Box
Here's a bit of an update on this one. All the new pieces are just sitting in place while I wait for some feedback from the owner.

Re: Half-round Dump Box
Hey Reg, yes you have an elliptical style bed, https://picasaweb.google.com/1086024...ndersonMagnum#
Half round is closer to what I have, http://www.dragonproductsltd.com/tra...nd%20dump.html Cheer's, Neil. |
Re: Half-round Dump Box
Those are great links Neil. I may try one of those beds the next time I make something for "stock".
I welded up the ladder this afternoon... I cheated and used mild steel.:cop: Soooo much easier! I have made ladders out of aluminum welding rod before...that's why I made a special trip to buy 1/8 steel!lol http://i1293.photobucket.com/albums/...ps30743314.jpg http://i1293.photobucket.com/albums/...ps8ff8baab.jpg Thanks for looking. |
Re: Half-round Dump Box
