Knuckleheads Knight dump

[woodhog]

This is a truck that we acquired at the Jackson Tn show. I thought that my 3 yr old would like it the way it was where he could pull our trailers.Well he informed me he wanted a dump truck which is what he wanted to begin with. So chop cut rebuild. We ordered one of Reg's dump beds,And pics here on the forum dont do it justice. Here is where we are at so far.

[woodhog]

Got the bed mounted and wired to an Esc.I have a motor controller to put on and limit switches so we dont have to worry about them bottoming out and binding the screw drive up .

[woodhog]

We will put an apron on the bottom back of the bed hopefully this week.

You self promoter you.... Lol

Looks great Chris. I'm sure he already loves it. I'd guarantee he'll get more loads than any other truck or driver at our shows.

Have you ever seen those chrome cabs painted with a transparent color? They look super sharp! A burgundy wine or lemon yellow with that black box
