U shaped dump boxes

[RCP57]

I have been wanting to build a U shaped dump bed for a while now. I've had some free time for the last bit so I started making a King Hauler sized pair of them to see how they would look. They are now both almost ready for powder coating so I thought I should post them up. I think they have turned out very well and have a nice shape and overall look. They are based on my normal, proven screw drive lift, come with all mounting hardware and a rear bumper as per usual. Let me know what you guys think!

If anyone is interested I am looking to get $800US a piece for them plus shipping. That will include the powder coating(many colors to choose from).

[bigford]

fill in the front panel to fender joint it kind looks wonky

[RCP57]

It would be easier to build them that way but I've looked at a lot of pictures and seen very few finished other than the way I built them.:confused: Maybe on the next ones if these sell.

[bigford]

most of the dumps I ran were rib or smooth sides r/dm macks the rounds
are just starting to get popular around here.

[RCP57]

They seem to be getting more popular here as well. More and more gravel trucks running up and down the island towing a dolly and end dump trailer instead of pups too. Might have to build myself a setup one day.:)

[bigford]

if you start now you would be ready for Mario's

[RCP57]

if you start now you would be ready for Mario's

Are you saying I'm slow Mark?lol

I finished these up today so they are ready for powder coat. I think the ladders finish them off nicely. Hopefully someone else agrees.

I decided to take one of these outside and load it with saw dust before I send them in for coating. The load wasn't really a test of any sort, I just wanted to see what they would look like outside and filled up!

I put down the excavator's remote and was about to drive the truck when the pile gave way. I was able to drive the excavator out of this one by lowering the boom and driving down the pile. I really thought it would turn over but it didn't.

I still have the two of these for sale. I think I am going to take them in for powder coating tomorrow. I haven't decided on a color yet so we'll see what happens... If anyone is interested please let me know.

Reg

[Bo Wallen]

That is freakin beautiful.........just wonder if there is silver powder coating available ?

[RCP57]

https://youtu.be/8ZGbs1KkxHU

Thanks Bo. There are at least two different silvers that they stock. One of them is the color that is on my KH dump box and the other is on the blue truck in my customers pics thread. They have a few shades of grey that are on the lighter side as well. I am leaning towards picking something like that for these but I'm unsure.

[Lost_ Frequency]

What do you use to weld the box? Wire feed or tig? These are great looking!!

[RCP57]

Thanks. I TIG everything.

[Bo Wallen]

Crunch Crunch.......Burrrp Filmtime :bounce: It's late night here in Germany.
Trying to sleep......not working ugh. I like that Yellow truck with light silver box.

[RCP57]

Like this one? It has a little metal flake in it.

It's in the middle of the pile. The bottom one is the lighter silver and is more of a velvet finish.

[Bo Wallen]

The first one is good, but thinking more closer to silver look......like the natural aluminum look....

[RCP57]

You clean one all up and clear coat it. I don't think they have any colors that are close to the raw look.

[Mikem]

Hi Bo follow Mr Tremblay thread on Reg trailer thread he's doing polished aluminum . And that would give you something to do on sleepless nights

[Bo Wallen]

Hmmmm......could use the shoe shine machine down the hallway :D

[RCP57]

:rolleyes:

[RCP57]

Well I took a chance and had these powder coated. I had one done in black and tried something new with the other.

This one is coated "chrome". Now I know it does not look exactly like chrome but it does look a fair bit like non-polished aluminum which is what I was shooting for. If you have any experience with ceramic coated headers that's what it looks like in person.

It was very bright when I took these pictures outside.

This inside picture shows it's shine better.

I will post up some pictures of the black one tomorrow. It can be seen a little in the last picture.

[Mikem]

That's looks good and won't tarnish like aluminum .

[RCP57]

I think it's a reasonable alternative to the raw look without the maintenance. Hopefully someone scoops it up!lol

[Lost_ Frequency]

I really like the looks of the box outside, man I wish I had your tools and techniques, you have some skills sir!! My hats off to you, BTW did you get my PM?

Sounds good

[RCP57]

Here's the pair all ready to go. I think it's interesting to see the same two boxes in completely different colors. The "chrome" look really doesn't photograph very well as it looks a bit darker in person.

[Mikem]

I have no chassis right now arrgghh , wonder if I can mount it on a flat car ? �� Have a great long weekend !

[RCP57]

Hey, you can try! Just buy one now and store it away for later when you have a chassis.lol

[Mikem]

I'm thinking !

[Bo Wallen]

I'm thinking !

[RCP57]

I hope neither one of you hurts yourself. When I think too much it always turns out poorly.:rolleyes:

OOOOOOOOH
heres one for ya reg

[RCP57]

I can't see the video because it's banned in Canada.:confused: I'm guessing it's a slinger truck?

[bigford]

its a KW with a rotating box try this
https://youtu.be/q6f18HF8-AE

[Northern Farmer]

That's super trick with the dump box pivoting like that!

[RCP57]

Oh sweet! Who's gonna pay me to build one? Shouldn't be too hard.

[Northern Farmer]

How bout a Jeepers Creepers truck used for service road repair...that horn is bloody awesome! :D

[RCP57]

I put the powder chrome box on the Bruder Mack today. It's just resting on the truck and doesn't quite fit because my cab is so far above the frame. I think it looks sharp with the blue though. I just wanted to show it with something other than my yellow KH cab.

[justin]

Looking good reg. Every time I look at it I want one lol. I like the silver powdee coat

[mcl fabrication]

Nice looking Mack:D dump truck you've got there.!!!!

[RCP57]

Haha, YES! I think you both need one!

[DieselKid]

I've missed alot of action in this RCP section Reg!! Things are looking cool as always!

Loving this front bumper on the Granite!!! Might have to contact you about doing one for the T-800! :D

Keep up the good work, hope all is well up north.

-Alex

[RCP57]

Things have been slow but otherwise good here Alex. You?

The bumper was an accident that worked out well.lol They aren't super hard to make I'm just not sure what the best way to mount one would be given that each cab type is a bit different. The one I kept on the Hayes has more sweep to it than the one on the Mack. I would guess you would need one that had less sweep as well?

Anyone need a nice dump bed? I want these to go to new homes!!lol

Black one is still available. It needs to be mounted onto a truck! Too pretty to sit here wrapped in cloth... $800USD plus the ride.

I've had this dump bed sitting on the shelf for a while so I thought I should take some better pictures of it and see if anyone is looking for one. I am looking to get $800USD plus shipping for it but will entertain reasonable offers. It fits a standard King Hauler day cab and comes with a screw drive lift(with limit switches), rear bumper plate and all mounting hardware. Wire it up to an ESC and start dumping!
