Default globeliner dump truck

been thinking about a dump truck for a while, had an extra short globe cab left over from the other project, and ended up doing a trade with "stuff" for a mercedes rig with an awesome FGD plow and budd 2 hole wheels. the build was on.. dump body will be based off henderson equipment slant side

so here's the cad file..



here's what i started with (stuff's pic):



stripped 'er down, and moved the front axle forward a bit and propped the short cab on and mocked up the plow:



side shot with approximation of bed.



waay too much space between the bed and cab, so i had a spare king hauler sleeper around, with a little widening it should blend ok with the globe



still looked a little short, so brought the sleeper out a bit more..



yup i think that will do it. might shorten the frame a tad too

well that's it for now, have 3 other projects going, so this one will be back burner for a while.

comments, suggestions (offers to buy.. lol) always welcome
