My New Mini Dump
 

It seems like everybody either has a dump trailer or dump truck these days, I didnt want to be left out. Travis talked about dismantling this if he didnt sell it. I saw this truck running at Indy and laughed my butt off. So I had to save it and give it a new home. Gonna do some changes to it, so stand by. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...ps844c526b.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...ps0a80c195.jpg

haha, it may be little, but it looks so awesome!! :D

Re: My New Mini Dump
 

I really hope by "changes" you don't mean making it even shorter!

Re: My New Mini Dump
 

Thanks!! Thats why I had to get it, it makes me laugh every time I look at it.
LOL. Its as short as it can get. I think Im gonna put a pete cab on it, some fuel tanks if they fit, super singles on the front, and paint the bed.

Re: My New Mini Dump
 

It needs a wheelie bar

Re: My New Mini Dump
 

that really is awsome! and pretty funny

Re: My New Mini Dump
 

Glad to see it has a new home. Would have been a shame to see it get dismantled. New paint on the bed and a new cab should really finish it.

Re: My New Mini Dump
 

Dont know about a wheelie bar but its certainly could be classed as a wheelie bin?

Re: My New Mini Dump
 

It does pretty good with out one
It makes me laugh everytime I look at it.
Thats what I was thinking. I'll have some updates soon!
LOL!

Re: My New Mini Dump
 

I dont think that truck will meet bridge length DOT will not like that, it is really cute tho lol

Re: My New Mini Dump
 

Congrats on being the new proud owner of that little. " epileptic " truck Fred:D
I laughed so hard when I first saw it at Indy last summer.:D lol

Re: My New Mini Dump
 

Thanks Paul!! I couldn't let this be scrapped.
Thanks Travis!! It still cracks me up every time I see it.

Re: My New Mini Dump
 

Got it pinstriped in gold. Added some super single fronts and knobby rear tires and an aluminum bumper. Thinking about making a dump bed out of aluminum.[IMG]http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...psfcbcd9a5.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...ps0c4c9517.jpg[/IMG]

Re: My New Mini Dump

Re: My New Mini Dump
 

Oh, ha ha! That's sweet! The front leaf springs are longer then the cab. Paint turned out great, and the grille and headlights too.

Re: My New Mini Dump

Thanks Alfy!!

Re: My New Mini Dump
 

That should give it abit of weight to it....that truck is too cute :p nice added touches fred

Re: My New Mini Dump
 

ive heard of a short bus but never a short dump

Re: My New Mini Dump
 

Thanks guys!!! I put the bottom and the front on the dump bed, still have to make tail gate and cab sheild. The aluminum bed weighs about the same as the plastic one. Also put some aluminum rims on it.

Re: My New Mini Dump
 

Love the rims and painted hubs! If they ever made smart dump trucks (like smart cars), this is what one would look like.

Re: My New Mini Dump
 

Oh this thing is hilarious. I love it. Can you take a top view of it? It probably looks like a square:lol:!! I do like the whole look of it, all it needs are some 8 inch stacks!:D

Re: My New Mini Dump
 

Thanks Nathan!! It sure would. When I was growing up there was a magazine out called cartoons. It had rat fink type of cars and trucks in it. When I saw this truck for the first time, I thought it could of been in that magazine.
Thanks!! Ill get ya some top pics when I get the tailgate done. You might be right about those fat stacks. Ill try it and see what it looks like.
