Post Side truck dump bodies

[RCP57]

I've been quietly working away on these. Originally I was only going to build one for a customer but then once I got started I thought I should build a second kit to sell separately. The customer build is for a King chassis with a 3D printed Ford L9000 cab. The other will be setup as a direct bolt on for a stock, day cab King Hauler.

Here's what I have so far...

The one in front/left is/will be up for sale.

A little progress update. Hopefully just one more day of fab work before coating.

OH, and both are now sold...Thank you!

Just wanted to share a couple shots of the L9000 box mounted on it's new chassis. Lots of detail work to go on the cab yet but the box is a knock out!

[Mustang46555]

Second shot won't post

[frizzen]

Let's try cleaning that up...

Where can we find a build thread for this rig?

[Northern Farmer]

Wow! :eek: Great job that’s one badass dumper right there :cool:

[RCP57]

Looking great Dennis! I'm very happy to be a part of another awesome build!:cool:

[egronvold]

Nice :)

[FabOne]

GREAT job Dennis!

[Mustang46555]

Thanks for all the great comments guys! This one has been a fun build because of the cab being so different.
I will be starting a build thread in the construction part of the forum soon so I can quit hijacking Reg's thread. At least this time I remembered to take pictures as I went.
As a preview; the most important step in this build, contact Reg and get one of his dump boxes coming!

[RCP57]

I have almost finished up another one of these post sides. It is a custom length for use on a 4 axle truck. I have a few minor details to add on today and then it will be off to coating on Monday. The box in the background is for sale and will also head into the coating shop Monday. If anyone is interested please PM for details. It is for a standard length KH daycab.

Here's another pair I just finished up. These ones were a lot more work but turned out nice I think.

Are those "pea gates" I see on the back on them tailgates? That's killer awesome, if so!

[RCP57]

Yes sir. little itty bitty doors.

[skeeter]

Reg, that's so awesome! Just like my 1:1

It's ALMOST PERFECT! almost, it needs longer to fit a 6 axle truck, & have a 7th hanging off the box.....a SUPER dump.

[RCP57]

Well stay tuned then. You're gonna see some of that real soon.

[Mustang46555]

Very nice looking work Reg, as always! I like the "pea gates" nice touch.

[skeeter]

Well stay tuned then. You're gonna see some of that real soon.

OMG! Really? I will have to buy one of thems if so. PM comming your way.

[Papy]

Just a quick mock-up/pre-assembly with a cab I had nearly ready....of course, not the final color, but it gives a good idea

It's a massive looking beast.

And there's nothing wrong with that green!

Thanks !

Nothing wrong with the green. Just for another project ;)

[skeeter]

From where did you acquire the Mack cab? Reminds me of when I first started driving truck, I drove a Mack tractor much like that one.

[Papy]

I got the excellent base from shapeways (designer : CAA52) but slightly modified it in some ways (windshield posts, headlights, etc.)

[Panther F]

You can find some awesome stuff on Shapeways! :D

[skeeter]

Thanks fir the info
