Grand Hauler Half Round Dump Box
I've been working on this Grand Hauler half round since the weekend. It's coming along but not as fast as I would like. Yesterday I ran out of Argon part way through welding the 1/4x1/2 flat bar on. The local supply store didn't have any and wouldn't until late today so I had to make a trip into the city which cost me three hours. This morning I started machining the custom tailgate. First off I broke a bandsaw blade cutting the corners off the flat bar and then I broke my favorite 1/8 ball mill cutter while cutting out the inner parts on the mill. That's three things that have gone wrong already with this box and I just started it on Sunday!lol
Anyway, enough grumbling about the life of a toy maker. Here she is so far... Reg |

Re: Grand Hauler Half Round Dump Box
I love it, you captured everything I wanted and then some with that adjustable Cab gaurd. I showed the video to a friend and she was like "what he really means there is "$!#& you". I'm sorry I can't stop laughing.

Re: Grand Hauler Half Round Dump Box
Great work Reg. You've really expanded out with the new styles and trailers. They really look good! Keep up the good work. They make a lot of us happy.

I know always building the things. Haven't taken any pictures of any of them yet, and then to figure out how to post them. Been thinking about it lately though. The truck with your dump box on it came out nice, you did a great job on the box! |

Re: Grand Hauler Half Round Dump Box
Well you know we all like pictures around here. I always like to see how the trucks turned out anyway. It's been long enough that I forget what your dump box looks like.lol

Re: Grand Hauler Half Round Dump Box
Well you're entitled to your opinion... I try to make things the way people want if I can. Probably why I have so much grey hair now and I can't sleep. I think it turned out well and although it was more work than what we first talked about, it was worth the extra effort. A couple extra shifts at the train station and we'll be good.lol

Re: Grand Hauler Half Round Dump Box
Don't worry NYC Transit works me like a slave, so all is good. Like another employee told me when I started, "Welcome back to slavery, I bet this wasn't what they had in mind when they said the underground railroad".
And I promise when I come back for a dump trailer it will be simple I promise. No changes needed I like them how they come. If anything it would be just a tarp added.

Re: Grand Hauler Half Round Dump Box
Yes, black.lol
I went and put in a request to my sticker girl yesterday about some silver RCP's decals for you. She told me to call today and she would have them done but when I called she wouldn't answer.lol She wasn't well yesterday so she may not have worked today but I've been waiting for her to finish some stuff I ordered back in June and I am losing faith.lol Each time I go in she hands me a few more decals and always says next week it will all be finished. I don't complain too loud because she hasn't charged me for the ones I do have but I'd like to get them all so that I can pay her. I hate owing people money! |
