Re:DTR's Truck of the Month June 03
 

Very nice truck Rob!<br><br> I bet somebody here could probably help you bolt that bed down so it wouldn't keep popping up like that ;D

Re:DTR's Truck of the Month June 03
 

Cool Truck...I bet the bed flips up cuz the engine is in the bed...hence the stacks in the bed like they are. [eyecrazy] [laugh]<br><br>Good job and nice work. ;D

Great looking truck Rob. Dump bed and stacks on the same truck ... you did a fine job at making it work.<br><br>Congrats,<br>PISTOL

Re:DTR's Truck of the Month June 03
 

GREAT LOOKING truck Rob!! way to go!!!

Re:DTR's Truck of the Month June 03
 

Thanks for the nice comments guys!<br><br><br>Jamie, I used a ball-n-socket type fittings, only one conection under the bed, the stacks are T'd off inside the bed, and both do work. When I get fuel, or am at the car wash, I have to raise the bed, and as one would expect, most people think they are &quot;fake&quot;, but when I leave, they know they are not. LOL<br><br><br>Later, Rob
