The main reason the side boards are made out of wood is because of the guys that operate the loaders Always hit the top of the dump truck and it's easier to just replace the board then to straighten metal sides all the time.
If Paul is the only one loading his Not For Hire dump truck then he doesn’t have to worry about the yahoo on the loader but that’s exactly why they’re usually made out of wood. Unfortunately I’ve had brand new side boards get broken on the first day of having them on because of a loader operator that was an eye dee ten tee.
The reason for the top boards being wood is that the can be replaced. When the loader bangs the edge it doesn't cause damage to the steel edge of the bed or the equipment. And if the loader is really stupid it will break the board and not transfer to the truck bed. Still really cool
I am so pleased to see you pouring money into the infrastructure - if/when the youtube channel is abandoned for the next 'big thing' you've got a great shop ready to go.
In England, I know the dump truck side bars as ‘greedy boards’ as the loader got greedy. They’re kind of the first mod people do with a sand and gravel / muck away wagon. Nice job
In Australia we call them hungry boards on dump trucks. You need to be careful though as you tend to overload 'em when you have the extra bin height which can damage the cylanders. Cheers from Sydney Australia fellow earthmoving plant owner.
Hey Paul, always remember to be coating your dump bed with diesel oil before loading up on asphalt. This makes the clean-up a breeze. Just use a Hudson sprayer.
The fork/ball attachment is something that will be used more often than one ever suspects. I built one for my skid steer and use it to shuttle empty trailers around from the backyard to the house. Guys that own and load a dump truck can get by with steel side boards. I've replaced many side boards on dump trucks that had less than caring operators loading them. Always keep 3 projects at a time going.
Good morning I always look forward to the new videos because I never know what projects you guys will be getting into. I think it was a smart idea to make the sides for the dump truck out of steel that way you know they are permanent. Keep up the great work
I agree with you. This fall has been too hot here in southern Arizona as well. I'm tired of seeing the same weather forecast on my phone each morning "Near record high today." Been that way for over a month now.
I feel your pain Paul. So many times I’ve measured once…. But that’s the good thing about metal and why I don’t do woodwork. I haven’t found a wood welder yet😂
Paul put a piece of chain from your trailer moving plate to wrap around the mast on your telehandler so it doesn’t slide off and make you say cuss words lol
Paul, they are called "hungry boards" here in my part of Oz. They can be made of wood over steel because they help you increase light, bulk loads. Increasing the core capacity of your tray can overload your truck illegally..
ohh wish you were near me LOL... I could have used all those broke up slabs of concrete as base for my back forty mud path conversion to all season passable drive.
My grandma had the same EXACT spoon and fork on her wall, I asked her if I could use them as oars for my raft in the pool one summer.. answer was 'NO!!' ..I couldn't understand why, I just looked up at those things for years KNOWING that they were perfect oars and she had NO CLUE what she was talking about.. Grams' if you're listening, those will make great oars.. I just know it 🤣 Paul, we need to try 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nice hitch adapter, I'm surprised that you used that fancy drop in receiver then welded the fancy ball in, plain 2 5/16 ball welded on would have been much less expensive.
I have been wondering how many miles of welding wire you use per month? With the amount of welding you do every show you must go through a spool a month.
If you can as here clamp the new bit to the back of the space and mark it directly against what's there you can't go wrong. Been there too many times, only measure if I have to.
don't come to PA with that you will get a a big fat ticket. as you are not allowed to fill above the metal sides of the truck . the wood side boards are to keep dirt from spilling out when hitting bumps. and you are not allowed to alter the bed of truck to hold more dirt because that will put you over the weight limit of the truck.
I think your sideboard iron. Should have a brace in the center going up and down. Sooner or later it's going to loosen that weld... And if you were getting paid by the time you just added a few more to your truck. What's the temperature for your own it don't matter I guess. Good job . PS I can see that arm get your little hesitation.🤜🏽💥🤛🏽🫱🏽🫲🏽🍨🪶😎🤙🏽.
hi there Paul l can appreciate ur wrk as l do pretty much the same type Ur fifth wheel hitch device will not work in any tight turns as Ur fork headache rack will interfere in tight turn radiuses it could hit that nice fifth wheel you got good show thanks

The John Deere seat safety is the most productivity restricting device ever. First thing i removed from my machine. It actually gets work done now.
I think the reason sideboards are wood is so they can get beat up by the loader and can be easily replaced.
right and bevel squares are easy to come by
That's why they are called bang boards. They're a consumable
Exactly

Hi guys! Stopped by yesterday and bought stuff, introduced family to the vehicles and the youtube channel, and got you some new subscribers 😁
Morning everyone!! Have a good weekend!!
Same for you
The Motor Munch jerky is great, soft and easy to tear off bites. Luckily it's not as hot as I was afraid it would be. I got the Honey
Burnout BBQ.
YES ! The Jerky is awesome, just the right amount of heat. THANKS!
Measure once, cut once, weld back together, repeat. =)
Hey Paul, always remember to be coating your dump bed with diesel oil before loading up on asphalt. This makes the clean-up a breeze. Just use a Hudson sprayer.
Yep, we always carried a sprayer with diesel when hauling hot mix. If anyone didn't, the next time they will.
That's what I call winnin'. Nice work, Paul!
I always love the little modifications and making things yourself.
I ordered 1 of each and both were FANTASTIC!!!!
Same here, but for some reason it didn't last very long. lol
When Michele was in the opening I was like what did we do now! Lol. Fun to watch.
Just ordered a couple bags of jerky..... can't wait to try it.... thank you!
We do it nice, cause we do it twice.
I always enjoy watching this type of video, you know FABrications 😊

There is no way comments like this are real. No way.
Looking forward for the next one!

Hey everyone, pretty sure Paul knows WHY they're made out of wood with a much Dirtwork experience he has. Metal was his choice as an owner/operator.
Pretty cool And I'm right there with you Paul I am ready for cooler weather.
The pork is amazing. I was surprised. Peppercorn is my favorite for sure.
I appreciate the way you update this little pickup. Great video
Paul, you need to check the expiration date on that measuring tape! Using them past the expiration date can result in compound measurement errors...
Hi Paul n Michelle. I'm digging Paul's new Winter Face Mask getting ready for winter. I really Love this chan. God Bless you al.
Well done with the jerky. In South Africa we called it Biltong
Nice improvements to the dump truck bed sides and the giddy gapper tool for moving the travel trailers should be fine!
Enjoyed the fabrication video today. Anytime you’re welding or plasma cutting I’m fascinated.
Used guardrail makes an excellent side board for any size dump truck !!
Good morning/afternoon everyone!!🤙🏻😎
Paul put a piece of chain from your trailer moving plate to wrap around the mast on your telehandler so it doesn’t slide off and make you say cuss words lol
That's why I work with steel! Good luck welding a 2x6 back together!

That ol dump truck needs a fab rats logo on it. Along with the Rat Back
ohh wish you were near me LOL... I could have used all those broke up slabs of concrete as base for my back forty mud path conversion to all season passable drive.
Thank you guys
hahahaha, I have a tape maysure in my desk for when customsures come in my Aussie shop.
Have a great weekend
"Measure twice, cut once"! Been there done that!
The jerky is awesome! But could you consider a low-carb version? (No brown sugar, etc.)
Happy for your success brother cool to watch
My grandma had the same EXACT spoon and fork on her wall, I asked her if I could use them as oars for my raft in the pool one summer.. answer was 'NO!!' ..I couldn't understand why, I just looked up at those things for years KNOWING that they were perfect oars and she had NO CLUE what she was talking about.. Grams' if you're listening, those will make great oars.. I just know it 🤣 Paul, we need to try 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They put wood there so it can easily be replaced when the front end loaders mess it up dumping the dirt in the bed
The knife and fork on the wall, didn't know Paul was such a big eater!
Hotter the the hot of hotness 😂😂 love it Paul best explanation ever😂
I guess beard & deer season go hand & hand 🤙
If you ain't messin up sometimes then you ain't doin nuthin!!👍😁
I have heard them being called greedy boards here in the uk. And they are removable. Great video. Great channel. Cheers
Side boards .... we call them hungry boards in Australia! LOL
That was some great jerky, keep it coming.
The yard looks Great
I would love some jerky but I live in Southern Brazil! So when you come down this way bring some I will buy it! LOL
Seems like the asphalt’s a good job for your boys
Paul that's why I don't work with wood either. Lol 😊😊
A vehicle for every occasion. A Michelle project.
I bought the pepper one really good, only problem didn't last very long. Open bag gone!
just like hot rod parts, fine print says "some modification may be necessary for your particular application". LOL
Looking good Fab RAts
We call em hungry boards in Australia mate. Spotto on the new old lathe in the background
That's a universal shop rule: measure thrice, cut once, still too short. 😁😁😁
I have the knife and fork to match that spoon. Things got crazy one night. My spoon got broken. Haven't found a replacement yet
As a professional welder. I don’t really care to say how many times I have done this.
Measure twice, cut once Paul! 😂
As the saying goes , measure once , cut , test fit , reweld , cut again
Keep up with the good work love watching your videos on UA-cam God bless hope your àrm is ok😊
I got the pepper jerky and it's good . First time I ever had to put it the refrigerator tho .
Paul They are called ‘greedy boards’ here in Northern Ireland
Vision is an important sense also.
I didn't like the pepper one to hot for me but did like the BBQ one.
THANKS FOR ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO
great as always great content very entertaining good job
Nice hitch adapter, I'm surprised that you used that fancy drop in receiver then welded the fancy ball in, plain 2 5/16 ball welded on would have been much less expensive.
“Keep it from dumping out the side”
Until you put more into it, until it dumps out the side. Winning everywhere.
I have been wondering how many miles of welding wire you use per month? With the amount of welding you do every show you must go through a spool a month.
Another awesome video
We would use 1/4 sticks of dynamite to loose the cured hot mix out of dump trucks. Drill, insert, add electricity.
That guys a good hand
If you can as here clamp the new bit to the back of the space and mark it directly against what's there you can't go wrong. Been there too many times, only measure if I have to.
dumptruck beds equal seal weld.. then again you have a part time dump truck.. so maybe that means a part weld instead of a seal weld... :)
Maybe Paul should open a transmission shop. That alone should save you thousands - lol
If you pour a gal. diesel on that asphalt it will come out pretty easy the next day
don't come to PA with that you will get a a big fat ticket. as you are not allowed to fill above the metal sides of the truck . the wood side boards are to keep dirt from spilling out when hitting bumps. and you are not allowed to alter the bed of truck to hold more dirt because that will put you over the weight limit of the truck.
I see you are pretty much lone wolfing it I can see making a small mistake with all you have to remember. Thanks for the video Paul
A piece of angle iron on top of sidebar keeps rocks and dirt from resting there. Which later comes off landing on other vehicles. Fyi
I think your sideboard iron. Should have a brace in the center going up and down.
Sooner or later it's going to loosen that weld...
And if you were getting paid by the time you just added a few more to your truck.
What's the temperature for your own it don't matter I guess.
Good job . PS
I can see that arm get your little hesitation.🤜🏽💥🤛🏽🫱🏽🫲🏽🍨🪶😎🤙🏽.
Safety glasses Paul!
I WATCHING ALL YOUR VIDEOS BROTHER I Comment it that not on his to make encourage him to keep making good videos bro
Dump truck = portable pool
Just needs a liner
Paul at least you are consistent with the tap measure.
That is what I was thinking before he cut it . Have Colt check it or even Michelle
Good job. Are you going to paint or bed liner cover your side boards?Thanks for the video . Have a good day
jerky can’t wait to get them
Dump some diesel on nd around that asphalt that’s stuck on the floor of the dump truck. It will come right out.
Good morning ❤
hi there Paul l can appreciate ur wrk as l do pretty much the same type Ur fifth wheel hitch device will not work in any tight turns as Ur fork headache rack will interfere in tight turn radiuses it could hit that nice fifth wheel you got good show thanks
