Just got finished adding 10" side boards and a wear liner in this truck. All the welding was with .045 Lincoln ultracore 71a75 dual dual shield wire, burned about 170lbs of it in total

Between prepping the bed and making everything fit properly about 3 weeks
Next time I'm making my own sideboards, I figure I can save 3-4 days by not having to trim and bend them to fit

Good stuff. I like the images. Reminds me when I worked at Peterson CAT, I can't weld worth a damn but we had some 777's delivered in pieces and I watched the weld shop assemble the dump beds for a few weeks, it was really cool.

Yea had a helper for most of it, pretty much put a bunch of stuff at a time on a pallet and brought it up and down on the forklift
We have two more this size, all already sold
Thanks!

Wish it was winter we had just about the two hottest weeks of the year when I was fitting and welding
We're powering the shops LN-25 with a Lincoln DC-600 and they rented my personal 12vs extreme and I ran that off one of their service trucks bobcat 250
Just about 900 weld feet.
