Default Knuckle sacks new dump!

Well...a friend of mine,(Raiders) Has been supplying my doggies w/there favorite doggie treats. This has been going on now for about a year.
Now Larry has been on me for awhile for a dump truck,& just haven't had time to build one for him. Now ole-Larry who supplies my babies treats,all of a sudden starts to have a problem gettin them. So during one of our chats,the d/treat thing comes up.
This is some crafty thinkin on larrys part,in short! No dump,no treats!
So....Here's the start of Raiders dump.
She's a King/H'er 6x6 gear reduced,lathe motor,screw drive 15.5"dump w/some of my up dates.



Made a few changes to the box,let'me know what you boys think.
Thanks for lookin!
FGD
Oh!BTW, Ole-PMD will have larry on the mailin list now!

I really like your dump boxes, Fred. Even from the underside, they look great. Very few commerically available boxes, if any, have any kind of underbody detail at all. That's why I like your's.

Raiders owns a pet health food store in california. Go figure? Now that's one of the smartest business moves I've seen in awhile.Not only are the people on a health food kick,so are there pets.
He sends me only the best (healthy) treats there are on the maket today.
So Alfy,Thanks for offerin the toys,But the turkey treats rule!
Ole-Larry has that gig nailed right down,tryed to find them on line,no dice! I think he makes them in the back of the store.
& Larry,you might want to contact Brian in pa.He has a dog that he's killin w/kindness. Should be a good target for sales. You can help him bring back er puppy figure
Glad you boys like the frame ties,you Guys don't miss a trick!
Them babies are still warm from the mill.Hope to have the front & rear ones done this week.
I can't believe I'm useing all my trick stuff on this build,& not one of my own. Larrys gunna have a kooler truck than I have.
All's I know,is them treats should be gittin real cheap,not those california prices I've been payin
Well really wanted to kick butt on this build today.It's 5:00 am here,& it's snowin its balls off.Looks like the only buildin for me today will be snow piles.
THANKS for the complements Guys!

I am aware that it's a highlift, I've got one... FGD just seems to fit them neatly, Hence me asking how it's done.

The cross members are new, but will they be available to us?

Ok Thomas,This is how I mount the trany for a king.

There's more to it than just that. You also have to cut off the top of the trany.

You also have to cut the windshield.
Yes, the crossmembers will be for everyone.
Well had to play in the snow today & didn't leave much build time.
drive shafts,servos & linkage.





Thanks for lookin!
