Building a new arb truck

[aspenarb]

Thats a cracking job you made of that tipper body, the only things I would have done different would be to raise the front bolster to the same height as the rear body to support long ladders, also I would add some upstands to keep ladders falling off the side and some tie down hooks.I had to do this on the transit as an afterthought which was a pain.

And it'll help stop the electrolysis between the steel and alloy which causes the bubbles of oxidisation.

Looking good phas :-)

 

Thanks... I've completed where I want to get up to and will put some more pics up!

I've just finished my phase 1 on the truck, phase 2 the front section will be brought up to the same level... It's to hard to explain so you will have to wait and see but it will be good - ladder racks and everything already thought of just need the time to put it together

Did you pop rivet the alley on? how many did you get through.

Used self tappers for the corners then rivet every foot! Luckily borrowed an air riveter lol!
