    Poly fenders will take most of a day as there is obstructions/interference...they will have to get mounted to the dump body

    Heck of a rig :thumbs:
    I've only seen one on YouTube.
    I guess at that bargain price you wouldn't expect to get fenders, D rings and the correct trailer plugs. :rofl: :lol: Can you weld the D rings to a small plate and bolt them in? I can ruin paint dang near still in the can welding too close.

    We have the exact same color chip truck. Ours is a 12 model f550 and the top of our box is removable. It’s the only way to go IMO.
    It’s weird seeing my color on another rig. They must have seen our truck in a Stihl ad or something. :rofl: :lol:
