Thinking of adding a dump bed to it and keeping it for chore duty as clean dump trucks are nearly impossible to find at a reasonable price.
What does a new dump bed and pto run to install if I may ask?

This one is 19’6” long 1/4” floor 3/16 sides and front all AR 450 steel and I have the optional high lift tailgate. For the dump bed setup with hoist, pto,pump, tarp system ,and in cab controls my bill at the dump body dealer was about $25,500 after FET and sales tax. Probably could shave some money off that depending. If you wanted a thinner gauge steel or no lift gate (that I s a $1500 option). I mounted it myself so there are other costs to think of there, but the dealer who sold me
The body had quoted me about $10,000 to mount it and paint it with single stage paint. Or on the flip side if you want to spend more I also quoted an aluminum body with a steel floor. That was $38,000 plus install.
