Short dumper box?
I just came into possession of a tamiya chassis that was shortened and a bruder Mack cab put on. It's just a single axle now in the rear so was thinking this would be a prime candidate for making a dumper for the kids to mess with. I've done a bit of looking around and can only find 40-45cm boxes and I'm looking for more of a 15-20cm length. Was just wondering if anyone was making/selling anything in this ballpark before I get into fabricating one as time in the shop is limited these days. Thanks for any input.

I don't know your skill level or where your at, but if you have an LHS or Menards near you can build a dump box for under $20. Check out this build thread a little Midwest plywood and Bass wood and superglue I put it through the ringer outdoors with just about anything you could throw at it.

Thanks for the replies. Saw rcp57's great work, just not sure I want to throw that much $$ at it then have kids bash it up, though time is $$ as well. May go the wood route Truckmaker suggested. What kind of adhesive did you use on the wood?...seriously CA?

Too Long, though I could chop it up to shorten it I suppose. Thanks for the pic.

Thanks for the Bruder idea Farmer. Gonna give the small tipper that originally goes with the Mack cab. That and an actuator and I should be in business with some fitting.

Re: Short dumper box?
Decided to go with the Bruder. Chopped it up and did a try fit. Also throwing in a 4:1 reduction to slow down the Tammy transmission and some BB filled TLT-1 tires on the back to get some good off road grip. Still a bit of work to do on the actuator mounting and finding a new set of front wheels/tires, but it's on it's way. My start a separate build thread on this little sucker.
