Re: Gravel boxes for your King Hauler
 

I built this one for a custom day cab Aeromax. It will be shined up some more once it arrives at it's new home.:)

It's the first time I have added a spill plate to my standard style box. I think it looks good even though I was a bit apprehensive at first.

Reg, I love it. I really appreciate you going out your way to make the last minute changes that I asked for. I always dreamed for owning and rc dump truck and thanks to you it's actually happening. Thanks a whole lot again for everything Reg.

Re: Gravel boxes for your King Hauler
 

No worries Kenneth! Thanks for the project. It will be headed your way later today.


Thanks!

Re: Gravel boxes for your King Hauler
 

What's the purpose of the spill plate?... hauling moist dirt, it'll interfere with the tailgate closing & the door won't lock :thinking:

Re: Gravel boxes for your King Hauler
 

It's not something you see here very often on real trucks. I'm not sure what it's really needed for, I just try to build what I'm asked. It looks like something that would get bent or torn off on a 1:1 in this area but we don't have drop axles or any of that stuff either. Just good old tandem dump trucks....Most of which look well used within a very short time.lol

Re: Gravel boxes for your King Hauler
 

The spill plate is mostly used for asphalt when backed up to a paving machine,
preventing asphalt from flowing over the hopper in front of the paving machine when tipping. And it protect the rear end of the truck, mud flaps and lights. :)

Re: Gravel boxes for your King Hauler
 

That makes sense. The last truck I noticed one on was dumping asphalt into a hopper on the paving machine. I see lots of trailers have them and I assumed it was to protect the goodies on the back since they are so flat on the rear panel. Tail lights right below the tailgate without protection not good one...

Re: Gravel boxes for your King Hauler
 

Yes Reg.
I got to have one of that Dump Body.............Ooh no two body's for truck & Trailer. Thinking i don't got a dump of any kind so it's a must have.......going to Marios so you got time to build them......i hope ?:cool: Lot of dirt to move i heard.:cop:

Re: Gravel boxes for your King Hauler
 

I'll make time! Want it next week?lol Hey do you want a pup trailer? It's already built and I'll give you a good deal!

Re: Gravel boxes for your King Hauler

Re: Gravel boxes for your King Hauler
 

Ok, you let me know when you want it.

Re: Gravel boxes for your King Hauler
 

I can pay you next week by P/P and you deliver when we meet @ Marios. :D

Re: Gravel boxes for your King Hauler
 

Haha, there's always a catch....:rolleyes:

Re: Gravel boxes for your King Hauler
 

:D

Re: Gravel boxes for your King Hauler
 

Not that I own anyone an explanation on why I asked Reg to put a spill plate on my box, but this is how the dump truck that we have here are. As mentioned above it's to divert whatever material that we may be carrying away from the rear undercarriage of the truck. Especially when carrying loads of stones. But, I am sure that you already knew that.
Kenneth.

Re: Gravel boxes for your King Hauler

Re: Gravel boxes for your King Hauler
 

I'm sure if I built the stuff and sent it to Mario before Xmas he would take great care of it for you between now and August.:eek:

Re: Gravel boxes for your King Hauler
 

But then you have to pry it out of Marios fingers �� . Mike

Re: Gravel boxes for your King Hauler

You're right Mike Sir Aliminatori's artwork is hot stuff

Re: Gravel boxes for your King Hauler

Re: Gravel boxes for your King Hauler
 

I think that's a great idea Reg! ;)

Maybe all your builds should come here first for field testing and quality control.:D..... Ok, no quality control required on your stuff but I could be your eastern distribution center. :rolleyes: send them to me and I'll take care of the rest;):D

Re: Gravel boxes for your King Hauler
 

We've never met Mike, and yet, you know me so well. :lol:

Re: Gravel boxes for your King Hauler
 

I am very interested your dump box. I have to build up my post count in order to contact you :-). Let me know if you are on Facebook

Re: Gravel boxes for your King Hauler
 

I sent you an email I think??? I don't have Facebook. My wife and I are the only people on the planet that have internet access but are not on Facebook.lol

Re: Gravel boxes for your King Hauler
 

Hey Reg, you guys aren't the only ones!! People think I'm crazy cuz I'm not on Facebook!! I don't miss it at all!! LOL

Re: Gravel boxes for your King Hauler
 

Yeah I guess there are a few of us but we are outnumbered.:rolleyes:

Re: Gravel boxes for your King Hauler
 

Facebook is the second biggest virus on the inter web, Windows takes first place!
Cheers!

Re: Gravel boxes for your King Hauler
 

You're spot on doodlebug Is there vaccine against that virus ? I threw Microsoft out last year but Facebook refuse cancel my member ship.....ugh....need a shot :lol: Reg i can see PuP is coming closer........:cool:

Re: Gravel boxes for your King Hauler
 

FB is nothing but trouble and a waste of time. I was into it way back when it started, then left for 4 years until some RC people started things up and that's my only use for it.

Re: Gravel boxes for your King Hauler
 

I joined FB when Sandy said I needed something else to look for trucks and the 1/14 site came up and she joined for me , while my body is repairing its ribs after an abrupt impact with planet . Mike

Re: Gravel boxes for your King Hauler
 

Glad I seen this, thought I was the odd man out, good to know most of us here continue to be a little odd :lol::lol::p:p:D No FB for me.

Re: Gravel boxes for your King Hauler
 

I have been busy working on this pair KH boxes for the last few days. I believe one box is sold but the other is up for grabs($725US). As per usual it comes with all mounting hardware and limit switches on the lift. An ESC or battle switch of your choice is required to run the motor. If someone is interested let me know and we can discuss powder coat color. I may take the chance and have it done black this week though as that seems to be the most popular.
