Truck Build 2

[Livewire 78]

60% overhang with us in N.I (i build lorry bodys etc etc...)
great build watching with interest

yes correct and when I built the iveco i tried my best to find out the deal with overhang as per Irish law and could not, after contacting everyone you think should know did not get an answer so i went with the 60% also.

got my ramps and holders made this evening. pick up steel for side rails,floor and strap hooks tomorrow at some stage.


This evening

Ramp holders made and fitted





2 ramp shells made



made holders/rails then for these ramps to sit on. pics aint great but there made from angle and the ramps just slide in on them towards the back axle









Good evenings work i think, ready for floor now and side rails as planned, then just the lights to mount and wire and some paint!

will do jimmy, il have to get the calculator out lol only joking, about the 2k mark, will add up a few totals and pm u when its done

didnt get as much done today as i wanted to as i forgot i had a visitor coming over from the uk so we were messing about for a few hours then we went at the truck


he arrived on this



we first done the siderails









angled it in behind the cab



added in extra supports for the floor (only got pic off one but added 50x25 on the wider stretches, 3 of these to spread the load) then and welded everything up to this stage fully.



dad picked up my sheeting today, folded lip for strenght



starting cutting the floor and fitted in one side, only doing 2 tracks for the floor, no point in sheeting the whole floor this time as its not going to have dead cars dragged up on it



had twice as many clamps on it before welding it and got the same distance along the edge so looks good now



before and after in 1 shot







few before and afters of side rails
