I could get some of the wax Ed, that stuff isn't cheep,,, it was easier for me to design and print a part then touch up and mold off that.

Started working on the dump body. Instead of having a concave bed I'm going with a flat bed. not many angles to cut, mostly all square 90s. Have to tear out hydraulic system because I'm going to weld most of the dump bed framing on the truck. Use it as a jig to keep everything inline. And taking some rough measurements for the lift cylinders I should have enough room for different stage seals. Was afraid that the retracted cylinder would be too tall while bed down in order to get full extension on bed. The bed wouldn't go up as high as pic below but that's limit before frame hits.
