ruralandalone Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 As promised, here is my work-in-progress. The box dumps hydraulically. The Ranger box is a good fit as far as width goes. Some cutting around the wheel wells are required. The slight angle it is on is due to a manufacturing error with the dump mechanism. Colour is Canadian military olive drab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ωhm Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Nice job, good work. Too bad about that box not being level. Any chance of a photo with the box up. Flip your front grill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 neat! how is it attached to the frame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruralandalone Posted June 24, 2019 Author Share Posted June 24, 2019 This is what it looks like with the box up. ( I apologize for the picture quality. My regular photo editor no longer works for some strange reason, and I am making do with a bit of freeware software, which I have not quite figured out yet.) These views show the frames. The lower one attaches to the bed mounting points on the frame. The upper one mounts to the bed itself. I should also have mentioned that the gas inlet does not exactly line up, and my bed is back a bit further than it would be for a static mount, as there has to be clearance for the bottom front of the bed to clear the back of the cab when it raises. I agree it would have been better if the bed was level, but since I have no plans to sell it (ever) I'm not overly concerned about it. And given the NAME of the truck..........

Pete M Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 love it! Heck, I want to do that just for the ease of access to the fuel pump! what are you using the photo software for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruralandalone Posted June 24, 2019 Author Share Posted June 24, 2019 I use the software to crop and change the brightness. Sometimes to reduce the file size... And yes - it IS easy to get at the gas tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 ok. just wanted to make sure that you know the CC software auto-shrinks the pics before saving. can't help you with changing the brightness though. (not yet at least ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
