Nothing exciting...:

To lock the diff of the third axle I bored a thread next to the bevel gear. A setscrew fixes the driveshaft.

At the moment I am struggeling a bit with the bearing of the dump box...so I made the first mudflap-test:

By gluing an aluminum sheet on the bottom, I enforced the dump bed:

The geared motor will drive the spindle...:

The steps on the right side are fixed to the cab:

The spindle is connected to the geared motor...:

The rod next to the motor drives the locking shaft. Two levers will open the tailgate when the dump bed is lifting...:
