@@Carolinacatsbassbream buddy has a old l9000 that was a mixer truck he did a swap on and I know he can dump with his driver door pointing at the top of a hill and his passenger door pouring at the bottom and no issues where a normal truck would definitely roll
@@Carolinacatsbassbream stumbled on this video as I’m about to do one myself lol 98 freightliner with a n14 red top and a 10 speed. Hope it goes as well!
It should! And mind you it took us about a month and a half nearly 2 months to complete it and I didn't get everything on video like the installation of the PTO and things like that that I really wish I would have captured but it was a pretty fun experience
Was the chassis already at the correct length? Ive seen dump boxes for sale that come with the steel frame under the tipping box, would that make the process easier you think?
Did you guys hook the hydraulics for the dump bed to the existing hydraulic system that was used for the mixer? I know the mixer hydraulics are always live, and wasn't sure if you'd need to swap the pump out and add a pto clutch instead for the hoist.
Pretty kool
Thanks buddy!!
Is it true that a tandem concrete truck is heavier duty built than a tandem dump truck?
I know the frame was 3/4 in thick!!

Ya it might be that ol l9000 are heavy made better I'm really not sure

Is the mixer set up welded directly to the truck frame? If so was cutting the welds to separate tough?
MrGommer101 yes and yes time consuming!!!

I actually wasn’t There for that part of it it probably took over a month and a half to do the whole thing and different people were on the project
shouldn't there be another length of steel between the chassis and the tipping box? i'm trying to do something similar myself
Yes there was a lot of things that we didn’t catch on the film it took about two months for us to complete it
is the drum for sale?
It’s sold shortly after we converted it sorry about that man
