Home made dump trucks and trailers

We all know TIME is MONEY the faster we can get out of the scrap yard the faster we can get more scraps.
I made a dump truck out of a F150 it has been a money maker for over a year now.
I have a video of the f150 on Utube just type in F150 dump truck and how it was made on firstontop.com.
Lets see more home made dump trucks and trailers.
I will start with my F150 dump truck
My truck has been running for over one year now and can dump well over 1400lbs most of my dumps are less than 1200lbs 1400 lbs is the max for a F150 frame.

I have seen trucks like yours with the dump hydraulics connected to the power steering pump! Worked good!

don't get me wrong I love the idea and great job with creating a awesome working dump truck but like for me I got a chevy ck1500 work truck and do 1500-1800 pounds truly weighed down at max but ya most of my loads are over 1000lbs so for me this would not do as my trailer which is 6ft by 18ft can haul another 10-15000lbs more if I push it but I get the idea of faster out of the yard but for me its maybe 5min tops to unload a truck and trailer full but a dump truck converted would save the back a lot more lol
thanks for the pic and awesome job and happy hunting and fill your wallet

I was hoping to see more homemade dump trucks to get more or better ides.
I am going to put a dump unit on a f250 super duty when I find one at a good price this will give me a 2000lbs dump.
My f150 will be converted in to a rv camper.
