Gary Lewis Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 PROGRESS The dump truck cleaned up VERY nicely! I'm surprised that there isn't a lot more wrong with it. And the wood for the bed looks sweet! Are those the same boards or did you redo them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
