Default Re: How to make a semi dump bed
It's all as strong today as when I built both the green & yellow dumps 12yrs ago. No cracks, nothing coming apart.. 5yrs ago the green KH dump broke a driveshaft near the top of the 1st ramp with a full load of dirt & took off backwards, striking the wall near the bottom. Quite a bit of damage to the back of the box, including destroying the hinge! Glued it all back together with Testors & it's still working perfect to this day.







Keeping both hidden from the sun is probably what has helped to keep them from becoming brittle.
