blazer tub tippers/cart - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have had a couple people ask me about these so i figured i would post some pics and measurements. This idea came from a pic i saw on here but i dont remember the user to give them credit. These are made from some scrap stock i had. The bottom part of the "L" is 3x3" square tubing. The stuff i have is from a grocery store shelve support it is very rigid but only 3/16" or so wall thickness. The side of the "L" is 1x2" tubing. The casters are from harbor freight and have about a 4" wheel. The tubes that the tub sits on are exhaust pipe. I used a cherry picker hooked with a nylon strap to tip it up. You will want a couple helpers to slow it from tipping to fast once the weight shifts.

Can you explain the "exhaust tubing" part and how the tub connects to that?

I wish i had taken more pics when i had the tub mounted on them. The exhaust tubing is a spacer so the body does not contact the "L" frame and sits level. It is welded to the "L" so it does not flex to much. I bought some threaded rod to attach the tippers to the tub it goes through the "L" frame and exhaust tubing into the body mount holes on the tub.

Your build is very impressive! I like it.

What is going on in picture above though? I don't see your L supports? How is the tub being held up right here? (are you Luke Skywalker?

)

this was a bit tricky. I took them off to paint. the front of the tub is on wood blocks under the "A" pillar (where the door hinges mount) and the rear you can see a board in the pic you posted that goes from the floor up to the area where the tailgate hinge would be. I also had a ratchet strap from the tub to a wall across the top to keep it stable. Thanks for the complement. Hope this helps.
