Have to build 30 ton rock truck tailgate from scratch

admin

Reply:What do you mean by "rock truck?"  A quarry haul truck like a Volvo A25?  I'd just copy the design of the one you're replacing.  If you don't have an original handy, take a trip to your local equipment dealer and take some pics of similar-weight trucks and their tailgates.  Note materials thickness and placement.  Order materials and build something similar.  Should be a pretty easy job, just heavy.
