Sam,I thought you would get an experienced response by now, but since not I typed into Google search engine "Dump Bed Conversions" and got several responses one of which was from "MotherEarth" News from the 70's that had a real home grown article on doing that project.

Sam, what kind of truck are you looking to put the dump on? I've got a kit I bought a few years ago to add a dump bed to my truck and never used it.
