kilrathy10 Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) That's right.....After I found the Tulle for the tarp, it was a quick 20 minutes to get it installed.....Only thing left to do is connect the lines to the trailer...... Just a recap of everything..... Restored Freightliner FLD with 2" stretch Scratchbuilt air deflector Stretched frame using 2 AMT Gravel Trailers Kitty litter for gravel New mud flaps and chains Tulle fabric on coat hanger for tarp A big shoutout goes to both Dave (Swampdog) and Dennis (Tesla) for their help on this project.....Couldn't have done it without you boys.....

Tesla Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) This came out great JT and you even found the tulle in orange..unbelievable! Using a coat hanger is a real good idea! Edited December 10, 2014 by Tesla
Petetrucker07 Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 Great work man. I need to find out where to get some that stuff. I like how you did the chains on the flaps to keep them sailing in the wind. Your kickin them out left and right. Your gonna need a bigger garage.
Petetrucker07 Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 JT, you should repost the pics of you 53 footer and that big sleeper pete.

Saw this on Truckpaper....It had been in my head, but I couldn't remember where I had seen such a beast..... And this is what the dumper that was destroyed used to look like.....

olsbooks Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) You just keep raising the bar don't you! Good on you! A "save". Using coat hanger wire. Kitty litter for load. Great weathering. And a peep and a pup to boot? And of course painted so well in the approaching legendary color of "JT Orange".

Petetrucker07 Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 The company i used to work for had a black 1. Pullin a spread axle flat bed. I think they sent trucks out your way a few times a month.
peekay Posted December 25, 2014 Posted December 25, 2014 Looks great, you must have a very impressive collection!
Filter Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 looks sharp, great job! very impressive length and model
mackd Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Excellent work.Successful dump trailer, I like the look.
Dirt Demon Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Awesome job JT!.... But what's with everyone using kitty litter?.... Someone should be original and use some small rock or stone found in the model railroad section of your hobby shop...or maybe some fish aquarium stone from Pet depot or Pets Mart..... Just a thought...lol
