The top was the leftover from the front piece, which is why it is 4'. I am thinking about replacing it with a full sheet and the fabric sides you mentioned before, I think that will cut down on the mess tremendously. I have 2 sets of those corner brackets on each side holding the front and...

Thanks for the advice Sean. I like the fabric triangle idea. I had not thought of the wipers and vents. I laugh about the chips and dust flying off as we strive away, sounds like rain, but had not thought about it getting INTO anything. I have had it pretty full and the load handler still worked...

It took me a while and still needs some tweeks, but this seems to be working fairly well. I got the rack and boxes from a friend, had to do a decent amount of welding on one of the boxes. The rack was custom made, we think it was a pipe rack, it used to be much longer than it is now, and...

Do you mean build it so the sides can slide out the back? Wouldn't the outward pressure from the chips lock them in place? I am planning on making the sides removable, I had not thought of trying to make them removable while loaded.

The chipper size is still TBD, not entirely my call although I do have some influence in the purchase. My dad is buying one to rent out, mainly to me and the landscape co next to him. He has an interesting business model in mind, renting by the hour with him to operate. He was talking about...

Good point, a very easy element to forget in the equation

I think that ends up being a significant difference, I've got a touch over 4' inside the wheel wells and almost 5.5' to the bed rails. I am planning to use a ladder rack as the frame (one that tapers in at the top), which would put the top just above the cab, roughly 4' overall. By my...

Willie, I assume that's the steel box you mentioned? looks very nice, excellent for signage

Reg, its 4x4 gas, the 5.4L V8. Nice rig you've got there. Are those mudders on it? I'm thinking of a chip box / tool box combo like you've got. The chipper size is based more on whats available as I'm not buying one yet. The local place I prefer to deal with has 6" or 12", my dad is looking...

Alum dump body would be sweet, but not in the budget currently. I spent all my money buying the truck. :D

I would be towing either a bandit 12" from a local rental place, or whatever my dad ends up with, he is looking to buy a chipper to rent out - he's currently looking at a woochuck WC17, 12". I thought about the dump trailer, but then I would need a 2nd vehicle to tow the chipper, and still...

I am the proud new owner of this '04 F250 Does anyone have recommendations on building a chip box for it? I have a load handler and am planning on putting the sides inside the wheel wells to better fit the load handler and then build tool storage into the outside of the box. Other than that...
