Guest Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 I am looking for a picture, sketch, engineering drawing or something to prove or dissprove a design I am thinking about. I want to put a dump mechanism on a "vintage" trailer that I am buliding. (30 Pontiac springs and axle). I seem to remember that many many years ago some of the dump boxes were raised by a wedge that was forced rearwards between the tilting and the stationary parts of the dump. I have seen a hoist mechanism used on the front end of small dumps like I want to build but can find no information about the wedge style. Or am I just dreaming and never really saw such a mechanism?????Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Indiana_Truck Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I have a 1927 Indiana dump truck with that very setup on it. Go to my webpage and you will see a picture of it and the wedge you are thinking about. I will also try to dig up a good close up picture of it if you contact me or if you are ever in Indiana, look me up and see it in person!hoosier@pwrtc.comBob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Thank you very much. You have a wonderful web page. It looks like your truck will be fantastic when you get it finished. If you did have a close up picture of the mechanism I would appreciate it. I have lots of pictures of Commer and Diamond T trucks but they are all stake bodied.
