That's close but the wrong shade of green and a lot faster than I was thinking.lol I've never seen those before so that's pretty cool!

Hey RW, what's with the Canadian pop Eh? Do you have some Crown Royal around there too?

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
 

Think this in the correct green and about the size of a wheelbarrow. :D

And the winner is.....RW!! But they are very close in size, would love to see these two trucks side by side...so pics will have to do for now...LOL

Your 785 build is awesome!! Those tires and rims you made really add to the overall appearance, it give your truck a much more scale look, well done, can't wait to see more!!
1/14-785 (150ton)
1/12-777 (100ton)

See I'm supportive of my neighbor countrymen!! Canada Dry!! Didn't have a beer can but that may have been molson beer anyway:)

Well three scoops to fill a normal dump truck. That was too fast for me, don't know how many it will take but let's just say a way more than three!!!

Started working on under canopy supports. Only hard part is going to be getting the bed rests lined up and correct height.

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
 

I hope you took the two fords out of the bed before that pic!!!

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
 

I've been telling people to buy TIG welders for years. I'm glad you finally bit the bullet RW! This truck wouldn't be the same without it!:cool:

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
 

The whole truck build is sick but that dump..that dump is a thing of beauty :eek: Awesome work!

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
 

I'm getting wood looking at aluminum....:confused::eek::lol:

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
 

Truck is looking good Cooper-you should be a good aluminum welder after all this!!

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
 

Thanks! I told ya I was a bit backwards, making this project as a learning how to weld aluminum has been a learning curve for sure!!! Probably should have practiced on some scrap!! Just forces the learning curve to accelerate ;)

Got the bed rests done. The black part is just some rubber I going to glue down for some "softer" landing. Also have some on frame.

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
 

Well at least your first project wasn't a welded aluminum boat like mine was.lol I like the steep learning curve too! No point in being a p@ssy and taking the easy route. Dive in and get some!

It's looking better all of the time!
