Lmackattack Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I need to get my Dump trailer painted but I need to get the sides up about 6" I Figure I should add the sides first before I go and blast the traler for paint.looking for a 6" tall / 3" wide by 20' long. could be in 10' sections but need a total of 40' prefer used as its cheeper. can have some dents as it will get beat up anyways. if you are close to Chicago and know of any let me know.Also been thinking of finding a used 36" ablebody sleeper to put back on the truck. Mine had one from the factory but someone removed it years ago..a few winter projects for me....let me know ThanksTrent Chicago IL Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/11625-looking-for-somerectangle-tube-steel-and-maybee-a-36-sleeper/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaddeusW Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Any reason you cant use some 1/4 inch C channel and make slots for 6"x10' boards?

HK Trucking Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 3/16 wall rectangular tubing makes kick ass sideboards, yeah it's heavier and more expensive than using boards from Home Depot, but you install them once and it's good for the life of the dump box or trailer.I used rectangle tubing on my dump boxes, because wood sideboards always get broken by reckless operators & look like hell, not to mention the fact that it's a PITA to always be replacing them.I always just went to Schoessow Steel in Briarton or DePere & bought new steel..

storkmack Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I have a bunch of 6 in c channel if that would work. I would look for a double eagle sleeper. imho it is a better built sleeper.
