kilrathy10 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Not sure what happened to the thread I posted last night, but here goes it, again...... I needed a trailer for my rehashed FLD and I thought of Dave's (Swampdog)'s setup....I had wanted to do a dumper, anyway, since my X-girlfriend destroyed my other one.....So I went to work....I was able to salvage the dump body and the frame from that event, so naturally, I didn't want it to go to waste.....Combining the two was obvious.....Here's what I did over the weekend.....

Superpeterbilt Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 This trailer is 2 dump bodies put together. Out of the box is rough half this length. I think hes asking about the 1:1. Ive seen them from 22 ft - all the way to 40ft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petetrucker07 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Oh ok. Out here ive seen similiar style end dumps 45 foot. In fact ive been seeing a trailer very similar to the kit, tri axle and all, havent been able to snap a pic. Its pretty beat up and sagging in the middle, even the frame is sagging.

Mopar - D Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Good build JT I always thought the original trailer looked a little short. Are you going to leave the stone dust on it I think it adds to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
