Freightliner dump truck
Since I ran out of parts for the new lowboy I started on the cab today for my new dump truck I decided to build something a little different and don't remember seeing a Knight Hauler made into a dump truck. Here are some pics of the progress on the cab.

keep up the good work:) |
Re: Freightliner dump truck
That should look real nice. It will be different, that's nice to see. Another "out of the ordinary" build out of the "00" stables.

Re: Freightliner dump truck

Re: Freightliner dump truck
There is a purple one that runs around here with a polished Tebco bed on it.

Re: Freightliner dump truck
I need to figure out which one I want to use on my new truck. I'm just not experianced enough with them to know which one I should use with wider fronts.

Re: Freightliner dump truck
That cab looks close to the Mack Titan cab too.... with a little modification.

Re: Freightliner dump truck
Are you using the back of the sleeper to make the the cab back?

Re: Freightliner dump truck
I would think if the cab was about done yesterday that you should have it on a rolling chassis now so were are the picks Travy..

Re: Freightliner dump truck
I'm definitely tuned in on this build!
Not to burst your bubble, Ed had a blue knight hauler daycab dump at Indy 2007. The truck was dismantled after the show, I believe. I couldn't find any pics... |
Re: Freightliner dump truck
Rod I would like to see a pic of it to see how some one else has cut the cab down because I have done this one completely different than my single axle.
Thanks Travis |
Re: Freightliner dump truck
Thanks we haven't seen much of you around here are you going to post some of your stuff we even have a section for the tanks?
Travis[/QUOTE] Been working some crazy hours, 12hr days, split shifts + Saturdays so I just haven't had much time or even energy. I promise I'll get photobucket figured out (Lynn's been helping) and post some stuff this week. |
Re: Freightliner dump truck
Lynn seems to be helping evrybody these days with all kinds of stuff.
Travis |
Re: Freightliner dump truck

Well, I finally remembered my photobucket password and got the linking thing figured out. Posted some things this morning - more to come! :D Dennis |

Re: Freightliner dump truck
I'm beginning to wonder if Travis, Freddy, and Paul live in a Tamiya factory. There seems to be no end to the parts. Everyday it seems like they start a new project and just happen to have all the parts there... Yet it takes me 15 days to get a front axle assembly.
I'm kinda jelous!!! But other than that, it's looking good Travis, I like the way you did the back of the cab, -Mike |

Re: Freightliner dump truck
Well here is how I go about building the chassis, first dump all the parts bags in a bowl, then start building. No I am not Joking.

Re: Freightliner dump truck
Stuff every nut, bolt,screw, and parts bag for a Knight Hauler is in the bowl. After a dozen or so trucks you know where the parts go.:D
