Hey guys, just wanted to share my current project for my 1st dump truck hoping to get opinions and ideas as i'm pretty green to the trucking side. It's a 97' Pete, 550 cat, hendrickson walking beam suspension, 46K rears, 4:11's, 18 speed. Only concern I've had is it isn't double framed from the front to the back, the truck just has a frame insert almost from cab to over the rears. My plans are to make this a tri-axle dump. It will be primarily for my use in excavation and moving my equipment. I've had other owner operators tell me that it should be fine. I'm already into the conversion, but I always appreciate any advice i can get, Thanks!
