Custom Peterbuilt Dumper

[JohnStilwell]

Some more progress:

Front axle and steering mounted and working. I had to notch the frame for the servo ball connection so it could move to the right at 45 degrees:






Rear axle Locker servos mounted and connected, minor frame notches to clear the servo travel here as well. I have decided not to servo control the front locker, but it can be added later if I need it.




Tight squeeze, but the driveshaft clears the locker servos with a little room to spare:




Also the power switch and charge jack mounted. Reg has finished my dump box and it's now at the powder coaters, so hopefully I'll have it in a week or two.

Thanks again Reg, you have done an outstanding job on my dump box design and I would not hesitate one second in recommending you to anyone needing any fabrication work or a custom body built.

reg will you duplicate this dump for anybody wanting this one aposed to your other ones they all look great

[JohnStilwell]

Reg sent me some pics of the 'almost finished' dump body. Wow, it looks killer!!
I went with a satin black and chose not to have the inside coated. Never seen a real truck with the inside painted.
A little spray got on the inside at the front, but it will wear off after a couple of loads hauled lol

They are great looking boxes! The satin black looks real good too

wow! very nice build so far going to be a good one! Are you going to be doing plastic work to the cab also?

Just what you see in the first section of pics, filling in the back where the sleeper was cut off. I'm not planning on changing the fenders or anything else.

I received the dump box today that I had Reg build for my wife's Pete. All we can say is WOW!!! This dump body is awesome!! Reg has done a superb job building this for us, we couldn't be happier!! He even added a surprise logo "Martha's Heavy Hauler" on for us, (yup she's tickled pink, loves chrome and black)!! Now all I need to do is finish painting the cab and put it all together. We're expecting snow here tomorrow, so painting will have to wait a few days.

Here's the dump body






I fixed up her 2013 Jeep a little last fall, an all black theme thou. (Wished I had the money to drop a Hemi in it too)

Nice ride buddy,I'm hoping they reintroduce the pick up in the next couple years

Well, I'm definitely not as talented as a lot of other people on this forum, but my wifes Pete is mostly finished, just a few things to clean up. It's not exactly correct for a Pete, but it's close enough for us. Reg's dump box works perfectly!! It's easy to mount, bolts right on the stock frame, built very solid and looks awesome. Thanks Reg!!
Now all I need is a loader so I can go get her dirty lol

Thanks guys! I wish the paint job on the cab had turned out better, it's just rattle can paint, I don't have a good paint sprayer.

Bump, for an awesome built truck. I love the black everything, with some aluminum and chrome, the dump bed, and black matching hubs on the rims. The whole drivetrain is sweet too. Has me wanting to start another project, even though I do not need another project!
