6X6 Quarry Dump Truck

[TRUCKMAKER]

Thanks Rob good to know. This is my first shot a screw drive so I'm kinda playing as I go to see what tweaks I need to do. I still need to figure out my lift cylinder/rod length and how to attach it to the Delron. I like that LESU left but I figured it was time to learn how to do this.

That motor will have TONS of power for a truck box! Looking good!

I'm looking forward to running it, it's quiet and smooth but it looks a little slow. It's 165 RPM@ 12V I'll try it but will probably go with the next RPM which is 300+. For the near future this thing will be mostly hauling ground rubber which isn't that heavy so the loss of power shouldn't matter much.

It's been a while but I'm still updating this build. I've got the new dump box on it. Those that showed up at the Lebanon meet seen it. Made the front bumper and grille gaurd, they aren't done yet but are getting close. Next on the list for this build will be, finish the dump box with some details, improve my tailgate latch, make a hydraulic tank and mud guards for it.







Thanks for looking!

That new bumper and grill guard really set it off!

Looking GOOD Kent! I like both the bumper and grill guard. I agree with Reg, it realy sets it off.

Thanks guys, I need to make a couple pieces for the grill guard yet, put some lights in the bumper and some kind of tow hook or D rings on it.

Finished the grill guard and mounted it to the bumper today, a little clean up and it's ready for paint.
