Just got my KW logger out of the purple bath for the umteenth time and about ready to paint it again but thought that I would toss up this Peterbilt dump I have been toying with for some time. I bought the Truckweld box off the internet sometime ago, just the box and I wanted a Pete dump truck. Had to extend the frame but it's coming along. Painted the ivory color for trim as it will be mostly orange when I finish. So....................here it is............................ Hosted on FotkiOf course, as with any project around the shop, when you have a big empty bin around the trash seems to gather there. Hosted on FotkiMike

looks like it will be a sharp rig when done. Pretty sweet "bin" for the trash.....

Looks like a fairly easy bed to scratch. Can't wait to see more.

The bed comes from a Revell Germany Kenworth kit. I would like to make a pup trailer as well but this stuff seems to be pretty rare. I think they are coming out soon with a re-production. Of course I could have heard wrong. I grafted the hinge part that comes with the box onto the frame of the Pete when I lengthened the wheel base. Maybe I should show a photo of that here as well. This is just an occupy bench project while I'm working on my KW logger. Mike

Mike, That will make a really good looking rig! That is one of those kits that I never got around to buying.
Be Well Gator
