    Hello all. This is the first thread I've started on this forum.
    I used to haul end dumps but have been OTR for a while now. I plan on setting up my truck for double belly dumps, mainly because I can't afford to put a wet kit on it. I'm in the Las Vegas, NV area, and it would be great to find someone near me that would let me take a look at their truck so I can reverse engineer the switches and layout, take a bunch of pics, and so on. If anyone is available, I'll buy the beer. Barring that, if anyone has the pics and information I could use it would be very much appreciated. Any info is better than none. I know I could do it a lot cheaper that the $2500 TruckPro told me it would cost.

    I've seen a separate 4 wire ran back for the second trailer.

    for most belly dumps your just need power to open the belly. Some need power to close and open. Either way it's pretty simple.
