    Are these those dump truck buckets they put on those huge trucks that operate in quarries? Looks to be about 20 feet wide maybe more.

    Wow, you take lousy videos. Do you have that camera attached to your head?

    Yes they are Rock Truck Bodies, but no they are not the big ones.
    The big ones are too big to ship fully assembled.

    Westech makes aftermarket boxes in Mills (Casper), Wy. They will custom make them to customer spec as well as OEM spec. Those look like 785 or 789 boxes, which stock are 20' & 24'W respectively, we've moved some "oversize" 785 boxes from there that were ordered 24'W and some 789's at 26'W

    I got stuck behind what appeared to be a complete 797 box earlier today. On its way to the welding shop to be rebuilt.

    I've seen them come in 4 flatbed loads....

    2 loads for the sides and about a couple of feet of the floor. And 2 loads for the center section and head board....


    They welded for about a week to put it together

    Yes I wear the body camera on my head so you can feel you are right there in the action, as if you were really there.

    Thanks for the answers to what these were. I filmed it at Rock Springs WY but later saw they were parked at the I80 westbound scale just before you get into Utah..
