If that was my sister.....

$200, made by Rugby. Included hoist, tank, and air actuated hydraulic valve. Anybody can have that valve for just shipping cost, I am not going to use it. It measures equivalent to about a 520 or so sized hoist, so rated for between 8-14 tons with a 14’ bed depending upon how far forward...

Just grabbed the dump hoist for this from Pittsburgh, PA. 5hr drive from MI.

My carbon fiber heart valve is supposed to last 200 years.

I want a trailer that does not look like an elephant wearing a Speedo.

Yes. Let the beatings resume!

I know, you and a lot of others also. Thanks for being patient. I’m heading to PA to pick up the second scissor type dump hoist I bought for $200. I have several 24v hydraulic pumps and tanks from forklifts my work was scrapping, so with that and 2 batteries onboard, it will be...

Welding discussions are always a pen!s contest. No idea why, but it just always heads that way.

My temper?

You guys wonder why my threads are 50 pages long.

I don’t think they are hardened. I think they are deliberately just mild steel, and not treated. Welding should be business as usual. OTR truck frame does not need to flex with articulation and such.

The muffler? Ummmm, ok.

Here’s what I’m working with, shot 2 hours ago...

Do you really expect proper behavior on a “Mine’s longer” post? :)

Yep, good point. Bumperettes get scrapped, or free to anybody that wants them, they pay shipping or pick up. Is that a flip-lid tongue box? Good idea if so. Free storage rules.

Staying 14’ bed to match. Creative thinking on the tongue. I sketched a rough A framed tongue, I’d want it about 4’ long, given the truck bed is 8’ wide (92.5” really). This would allow it to pivot without the beds kissing. The frame rails are 34” apart, so really the only difference from an...

Frame is not cut yet, but will be. It is full truck length so far. Everything still on it. Steps, air tanks, tool boxes, spare tire carrier, muffler, etc... I want the trailer as close to the truck as possible without contacting in a jack-knife.

Love the booooo. You need to find somebody who parts these out. They are going to want approximately the going rate for a bed and 2 axles, so figure $1,500, but up to them. JCapple (sp?) would be one of my first picks, but you’ll have shipping. I am doing a dump hoist on this trailer as...
