Did you shorten the dump?

Nice work, Brian! Did you do it yourself or have it done?

Me and my brother did it!

Did you shorten the dump?

Yeah I think that when we were all done that we were 2ft shorter! Its a 10ft dump bed.. But it was easier to do that than extend the frame considering the shorter wheel base!

I failed at getting pictures cause we did this the weekend before last and we were in a hurry...

But I will give you the run down...

Saturday we cut out the scissor lift on the old truck disconnected the hoses and cut the frame before the hinges...

Lifted the rear end of the dump bed with the bobcat and places it on stands... Uses a come along to keep the still attached scissor lift up against the underneath of the dump bed... Used air jacks to lift from of dump bed...

We had to take off the outer tires of the old truck to get it out from under the bed... And visa verso to get the diesel under the bed...


Sunday

We ended up just setting the dump bed on the frame... We had to add about 7 3/4" to attach the hinges to the chassis of the new dump truck. Lifted up dump bed to full extension while welding and bolting scissor lift in place...
We bolted and welding electric pump to the outside of the frame added Drydrolic fluid... Ran wires to the battery and the wired remote into the cab...(We have like 20' so we can step out of the truck to control the bed)...

We then cut 2 ft off of the back of the bed and cut and rewelded the backing plate to the bed w/ new led lights!

The LED lights had no reverse lights so I added small spot lights that come on when in reverse! I am going to install a toggle switch so that I can turn them on manually!


For not its good! I will try to get pictures of said work!
