Transferring from Trailer To Box Truck

[BIG WOOD]

Damon has a thread on his setup. I got jealous so I figured I'd start one on mine

Before scraping adhesive off. I know you guys have seen this already. I'm adding more.

After 8hrs of scraping

Just finished cutting the hole and framing it up for a door this Thursday.

Use a heat or steam gun to get the adhesive off. You're coming up in the world Matt. Good job.

 

[Askal]

Nice. We love our box trucks. What milage and cost? You do your own door?

 

[GreenTechAgain]

Brake cleaner will be the only thing to get the adhesive off.

Nice truck, best of luck. You are gonna love that cab over.

 

[Nomad74]

Congrats Matt! You're going too fast.You need to be more like me and park it in your backyard for a few months while everyone on the internet makes fun of you.

Adhesive remover applied with ample dwell time will yield best results with least anount of effort and overall time.

I started using goof off and it was taking the paint off with the adhesive as well. I used a few other things and didn't like the outcome and found that wd40 did the best. I sprayed it on, loved that it stayed on and didn't evaporate immediately, let it dwell, and started scraping. There's just a tad left on it, and I'm gonna see if my wrapping company will let me get by with it. If not, I'm just gonna pay them extra to remove it themselves. I'm burned out on scraping

As for the door, I have a local welder machine dude that did all the cutting and remaking of the frame. There's a trailer company that builds enclosed trailers in a county next to mine that's gonna install the door this thursday.

Getting a little closer. I didn't get the floor sprayed on. I hacked it and went the $70route

If that is just latex paint on the floor, you will be sorry. I know, I made the mistake myself.

It smells like polyurethane. Did you get that blue gallon container at the auto parts store? And did you put it on a van metal or a wood floor like mine?

 

[Lee Stockwell]

You will love having that ramp.

Has anyone slammed on the breaks with the cab not lockef

Changing oil on this truck is super easy

 

[BIG WOOD]

Ryan has done it again!!! I love it. It's hard to decide which ones the best.

I like option 3.

I put a plywood floor over the planks. I used the liner paint from Harbor Freight which is holding up well. I put down the paint flecks that you buy at Home Depot for garage floors that turned out really well.

2 or 3.
I like 3 but on 2 you can read "Currahee" better.

WTF is that?

A big ugly hill that my city names everything after

You could have just said "Marty". No need for sneaky code names.

I like the first one, the orange makes it "pop"... But I'd add .com right under the name and put a phone number where the website is currently... But I don't know jack, so take it with a grain of salt...

Nice designs, better than the other guy.....

I agree. But shit-can the cursive.

 

[clean image]

Just looking at all 3. The first stands out .. not even close

Agreed. Unless that the way the local write it, it would also change font

1, keep the cursive

 

[BIG WOOD]

1, keep the cursive

Not with a word like Currahee. Any out of towners can't read it if they don't know what currahee is. And yes, there are several of them in my area that own lakehouses and surrounding counties

 

[Desk Jockey]

Too hard to read.

#1 - Stay with the cursive, your market is familiar with the name and won't have any trouble reading it.
