Default RCP57's first King...

.....The trouble begins... About a month ago I was approached by one of our members to possibly "return a favour" and build a dump box for them. I had been pondering the idea of building a box for my Bruder Mack conversion and this was the kick I needed to get started. I started out by making up some press plates to bend the sides and used a brake to make the other pieces. It all came together quickly and I found myself in need of a truck so that I could get a feel for what it should look like on a King. I had been looking locally with no luck and was going to borrow a truck from Chaseracer(Jason) to get things started. I knew that a good friend of Jason's had a truck that was partially assembled but hadn't been touched in a long time so I asked(maybe begged) him to call and ask if it was for sale. Anyway to keep a long story from getting longer I was able to work out a deal and get myself a KH!

The truck has a 85 turn motor, high torque servos and aftermarket tires but that's about it. I still need a few things to get it up and running but all in good time.

Once I had the truck I figured I should build myself a dump box as well...Then I thought why not make three, or four or...

After all that BS here is my basically stock, non running KH and some dumps...


Not much size difference hey?













Thanks for looking!

Looks good you did a fantastic job. I like your screwdrive set up, the cylinder looks nice. Can you get us a video of the dump lifting a load.

Thanks a lot Travis! I tried to do things a little differently and yet keep it a simple bolt on.
Here's a couple test vids-

Great work Reg!

What was your time line to build each box?

It'd be good to see a vid of screw drive working.

Check out the post above Joe. I haven't filmed much of them in action yet but in the first video it lifts 17-18lbs. I don't know how long it would last lifting that much weight though. I have one box that is homeless at the moment...

Looks good, works good, and it is nice and simple. Job well done. Hec I build screwdrive dump trucks and I would still buy one of these I like it. I give it 2 thumbs up.

Always glad to be referred to as a kick instead of a pain
Amazing, fast work once again Reg!

You make some bad *** dump boxes. Any thoughts of doing these for selling purposes? And what is the chances of you attempting a dump trailer?

A big thanks to everyone! I was a little worried if other people would like the way I built them. I guess this all answers my question.

Yes I would like to build some more and sell them but this is probably not the section to discuss that in.

Thanks again for all the kind words...and you're a great kicker Mario!

Here's a couple pictures of the Mack box. It is shorter, wider and taller than the KH version.

Yeah, I was reading & typing before you posted... then a visitor at my door... now I'm back again. I'll take it, the last one you have & see if I can break it. PM the details.

Great job Reg! glad to see you pulled the screw drive off, without having to put a subframe on top of the kinghauler frame.
Cheer's, Neil.

Nice work, I too like the cylinder, adds a touch of scale.
Must be great having a tig and knowing how to use it!
