By the way, where's the best place to get some underbed tool boxes?

Thanks

Nice truck. I see you bought it at Magic City. Great Dealership with a matching reputation. Congrats and put her to work.

Yep, The folks down their are great - Tony knows his trucks and how to treat people.

we're starting a major project - this is the third dump - the other is a tandem L-8000 and a Mack Superliner tri-axle. This will be used more as a job truck and for some light hauling.

Nice thing about this dump bed is the body sides fold down, so you can haul almost anything with it. unlike a pickup you can load it with a fork lift on the side as well.

What's you GVW with the 550? How much weight can you carry with the 550?

Do you have any under bed boxes on yours?

Thanks

Does anyone know what the Gross Combination Weight Rating would be on my 450 - the chassis weighs out at 7258 and the bed weighs 2100 lbs.

Here's the link to the '07 Towing guide. It's got the tow capacities and the GCWR for each model. Hope it helps.

Try these places for under body boxes:
Dump Body Options
Big list:
Truck Accessories in VA

I'm guessing you are in VA, based on the mud flap. If not, you can simply substitute va in the address link to your state...

Nice!!! any site you go on would have good boxes. I went with buyers diamond plate boxes there lighter and look nicer. I also had some custom boxes made to fit above the wheels. you'll be surprised how quick they fill up with tools. those boxes are about 10" tall inside, 18" deep and on one side, ones 4' long and the other is 3'long. great for cables, levels, hammers what ever. good luck.
