The owner is local, he stretched the cab, tilt front, late model TBI small block with power steering,brakes,tilt, and even A/C. Uses it all the time AS A DUMP TRUCK !! For me, THIS is thinking outside the box. http://s40.photobucket.com/albums/e229/sampamandfam/Big%20Truck/
In such a khonstant state of khaos I dont know what project to work on first.

And it was tastefully done. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,733 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,733 | Unless he has strengthened the frame or changed it to a later model heavy duty chassis it is in for serious problems IF he uses it to haul all the gravel that dump body will carry full. Likey about 8+ yds. The AD's were originally built with about 16,000 GVW or a few heavier, perhaps 18,000. Gravel weighs 3500+lbs/yd so a lot of weight on that old girl. I hope he only hauls feathers of light stuff. It looks great. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | I agree with Dave but I'm thinking, surely a guy that did this much work has surely considered the frame. It is tastefully done and I must admit I like it. | | |
