I rescued a Gravel Trailer from a hobby shop shelf yesterday. I intended on just a box stock build until I see it may shortened and built as a dump bed as well. Are all the parts in there to do that or just some of the parts leftover from other kits? I should build this one straight outta the box and build the next one as a dump bed on the back of a Peterbilt. Although Im not sure how to attach it to the chassis.  |

hey bfreeze if you had the paystar or the ford dump you mock up mounting tabs like what they have. it be like (2x6) but smaller plastruct stock and drill a hole in it to put your pins. hope this helps.
