Got any close up pics of how you built the hinges and latch for the lid?

bubba2400 · Jun 14, 2013

No, it's just some simple hinges and thumb screws to hold the lids down.

Heres my weight rack finally. :thumbsup:

Any picture of how you attached the hitch tubes to the frame? I'm planning in building the same rack I just have no idea how and where to weld it to

CumminsPOWER · Jun 15, 2013

It's just welded to the frame rails. I'll try to get pictures of exactly where it's welded up asap bud.

Here is the weight box all finished up and on the truck. Didn't turn out too bad. Will do a few things different the next time around.

That looks really good

how thick is your tubing walls and the edge where you hang the weights from?

bubba2400 · Jan 29, 2014

Simple weight bar for a 2.5 Duramax truck.

Here's a couple of weight boxes I built for some local 2.6 trucks. Both have fuel, ice/water, steering power unit, batteries, and a compartment for added ballast.

Nice looking box I really like the fuel cell mounted like that

Still looking for hard rubber coated rollers for the bottom of weightbox, got to be something out there reasonable.
Rubber coated press rollers, foot long or so .

Here's mine, gonna hang weights inside, my intercooler will be inside and hoping to get a custom water reservoir built to fit inside as well. All 1/4" plate, weighs about 500 empty.

What kinda brakets you using to mount it on the truck?

kansasfirstgen · Apr 6, 2014

I made my box out of 2x8 by 1/4 rectangular and skinned it with 3/16 plate. Has forklift pockets in the front to remove it and went ahead and powder coated it. Contains my batteries and 1200 lbs of suitcase weights. Box weighs about 800. Hang my fuel and oil on the back of it so I can pull my entire front clip with 2 pins. Built some bolt on rollers but haven't got them installed yet.

I found these taken off a conveyor system at a gypsum quarry.

Where u get rollers

Red_Rattler · Jun 9, 2014

Mine I built all out of 3/8" plate

BGbleu · Aug 17, 2014

Most of these are for the front of the truck and look great! Being a 2wd most of my weight has to be on back over the rear axle. Has anyone thought that a fuel cell that you could fill with water mounted in the back of the bed, then that way you could adjust your weight for each pull? also would be removable afterwards? From my little experience the scales can very from track to track. Just my .02

Hahns diesel · Sep 23, 2014

It's no bracket but we built this box for right around $250 I wanna say all brand new steel

kjpcummins · Nov 24, 2014

Last weight box setup i did.

reed cummins · Dec 3, 2014

My current weight bracket. Simple receiver type in place of the tow hooks. Slide out brush guard and slide in weight box or bracket.

Let's see your weight brackets.......again.
