Building Heavy D's Concrete Truck Conversion!

Heavy D brings a lot of wild projects to the shop, but this one takes the cake. Who thinks a Cement Truck would make a good Rock Crawler? Or Food Truck? Recovery Vehicle? Mobile Movie Theater?-

What do you think we should do with this build?

Do you want our awesome gear?

[@BigMouth380cal]

Consider making the "inserts" as modular. There could be a "Passenger Module", a "Crane Module", an "Off Road Emergency Office" module, an "Off Road Shop" module, etc, etc. They should be relatively Plug and Play and can new ideas can be added as you dream them up.

[@gordowg1wg145]

Exactly, it's what I call my "Thunderbird 2" concept - works for building into shipping containers, "J hook" slides, palletised plant that can be stacked, trailer load-outs, etc - just about anything that one might want, or need, to be removable can be made like that. Sometimes it's referred to as a "cassette".

[@davidelliott5843]

@@gordowg1wg145 Shipping containers are (probably) taller than necessary and far heavier than such things would need. Also need tons of framing and insulation inside. Might as well make frames and clad with aluminum and plywood.
