Dump truck rebuild

[John - NNY]

I haven't had much time to actually do much on my 1930 trucks and frames. So last November I took my dump truck to a small shop that specializes in model AA's and A's. I was very lucky because the owner is very knowlagable and does maticuoulus work. I am also fortunate that he is only an hour drive away. His shop is just northeast of Syracuse, NY. He has the rolling frame completely stripped down and ready for sandblast. He is going through all the parts and extra parts to see whats best. The rear axle is just beautiful insided. Nothing needed there except gaskets and seals. I have several doner frames to find the best parts.

The dump bed is actually complete. The previous owner used to teach collage metal shop. He had his students fabricate all new sides and tailgate. They haven't been added yet. I will post progress pics in the future.
