Steel frameless end dump
 

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...psjw5gttlz.jpg http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...psusdzvk7u.jpg Decided it was time to put something behind my truck and always thought these frameless end dumps were neat. Box is 31 inches long and built with 1/8 x 1/2 steel flat bar. need to grind my welds flat and bend up a tub. Long way to go yet. I sure hope it will be heavy enough :rolleyes:

MIG welder?

Re: Steel frameless end dump
 

I use a cheapo flux core wire welder I got at harbor freight. It spatters quite a bit but it gets the job done. I am no expert welder but I'm learning.
More pics to come.

Great start! I'm happy to see some more metal parts.

Re: Steel frameless end dump
 

what are you going to use to lift that heavy load??

Re: Steel frameless end dump
 

Im going to try a couple firgellis mounted between the draft arms. Im impressed with the power they have and I'm thinking they will get the job done.
Lots more metal to add reg!

Ok cool. I have a small 110v Lincoln mig welder that I haven't touched in about 15 years...maybe I'll give a try to how you are doing yours.

Re: Steel frameless end dump
 

your mig will do fine and probably give you a much cleaner weld than what I get. I say give it a shot
