My New Mini Dump

[plow jockey]

It seems like everybody either has a dump trailer or dump truck these days, I didnt want to be left out. Travis talked about dismantling this if he didnt sell it. I saw this truck running at Indy and laughed my butt off. So I had to save it and give it a new home. Gonna do some changes to it, so stand by. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/Mini%20Dump/002_zps844c526b.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/Mini%20Dump/001_zps0a80c195.jpg

I really hope by "changes" you don't mean making it even shorter!

LOL. Its as short as it can get. I think Im gonna put a pete cab on it, some fuel tanks if they fit, super singles on the front, and paint the bed.

It needs a wheelie bar

[onestepbehind]

that really is awsome! and pretty funny

[tc1cat]

Glad to see it has a new home. Would have been a shame to see it get dismantled. New paint on the bed and a new cab should really finish it.

[IDontKnow]

Dont know about a wheelie bar but its certainly could be classed as a wheelie bin?

Got it pinstriped in gold. Added some super single fronts and knobby rear tires and an aluminum bumper. Thinking about making a dump bed out of aluminum.http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/Mini%20Dump/003_zpsfcbcd9a5.jpg (http://s1262.photobucket.com/user/snowplowjockey/media/Mini%20Dump/003_zpsfcbcd9a5.jpg.html) http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/Mini%20Dump/004_zps0c4c9517.jpg (http://s1262.photobucket.com/user/snowplowjockey/media/Mini%20Dump/004_zps0c4c9517.jpg.html)

Thanks guys!!! I put the bottom and the front on the dump bed, still have to make tail gate and cab sheild. The aluminum bed weighs about the same as the plastic one. Also put some aluminum rims on it. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/Mini%20Dump/013_zpsd984001e.jpg (http://s1262.photobucket.com/user/snowplowjockey/media/Mini%20Dump/013_zpsd984001e.jpg.html) http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/Mini%20Dump/015_zpsf861a2fd.jpg (http://s1262.photobucket.com/user/snowplowjockey/media/Mini%20Dump/015_zpsf861a2fd.jpg.html) http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/Mini%20Dump/014_zps40635392.jpg (http://s1262.photobucket.com/user/snowplowjockey/media/Mini%20Dump/014_zps40635392.jpg.html)

Love the rims and painted hubs! If they ever made smart dump trucks (like smart cars), this is what one would look like.

[Trucker_Jo]

Oh this thing is hilarious. I love it. Can you take a top view of it? It probably looks like a square:lol:!! I do like the whole look of it, all it needs are some 8 inch stacks!:D

Thanks Nathan!! It sure would. When I was growing up there was a magazine out called cartoons. It had rat fink type of cars and trucks in it. When I saw this truck for the first time, I thought it could of been in that magazine.
