925 day cab semi conversion with end dump

[bushton4]

Well the end dump project is 99% done. We had lift off today, only problem, 30 gallons of oil aint enough. The pictures show how high we got before it ran low of oil. 1st stage was complete, 2nd was trying to lift. Need to round up another 20 gallons and all will be right with the world. Too **** cold to mess with it anymore this afternoon.
The truck is a 925 that we pulled the bed chopped the end of the frame, put on 5th wheel rails and an air slide 5th wheel, diverter valve added to the pump to run the single line wet kit, put a 55 gallon "D" style fuel tank as the hydraulic tank, built fenders, dropped in a gooseneck ball in the back of the frame, made all my lights on the rear 12V so any trailer will work, chopped the passenger seat and battery box to make it a 2 seater and have room to add a 24V Red Dot A/C later on in the summer

What brand/valve setup did you use if i may ask? Want to do same thing. To mine.

Nice truck, but I think you are going to have problems with the tires rubbing the fenders you built. You probably need to raise the fenders up 4-6" easily.

both fender mounts are different. one is mounted on top of the spring shackles and pivots with the tires, it dances around a lot and I dont know if the mount we made is heavy enough to stand the test of time. The other one is welded to the frame and is rigid. The rigid one is gonna get a 4" riser bolted to help with the clearance. We couldnt decide which way was the best way to do it, so we decided to make them different to find out what was better

I'v seen this truck in person and it's nice! Can't wait to see how the AC system install goes.
