Hello everybody! This is my first build on this forum (and what a wonderful forum it is!). I have been gathering parts for this build for awhile now. There is still so much work that needs to be done lol I own a lawn care company called Green Earth Lawn Care and it would be my dream to have a small fleat of rc trucks and equiptment to help with the landscaping in my yard lol. After PMing back and forth with FreddyGearDrive several times he had desided that one of this amazing 14inch dump beds would fit just fine on this truck but sadly he has passed away very suddenly. So im gona give it my best shot in constructing my own screw drive set up. Anyway heres a few pictures of what ive got done so far the cabs needs a little work to get it to sit a little lower but i just threw it on for the pictures.

Great build project. Another one of those ultra rare, or at least hard to find, Mack CH cabs! Pretty unique. Keep us updated on the progress.

Thats looking good, did you make the rear fenders or buy them. The rear fenders actually came in the body

Thanks for the comments guys! Heres a few pictures on how i made the front rims.

In this picture you can see where i cut the top lip off the original rim on the left.. I cut right below the groove the tire sits in. I super glued the piece i cut off to an inner dual rear rim. It takes a little triming on the inside of the cover piece to get it to fit snug but its about as simple as it gets!

Its wider than the stock rim but it works out great for the super single tires

heres a small update on the truck.... started building my screw drive.. ive got most of the parts i need except for a motor to run the screw drive im still on the hunt for one. I see that the Carson 50:1 gear motor is pretty popular for this set up.

Looks great, I will be following this very close as Im about to start on a screwdrive dump for my Dodge. I had been in contact with Freddy (FGD) a while back on how to build one and he said when im ready just give him a shout and he would be more than happy to help me out, I never thought I wouldnt get the chance...R.I.P. Freddy!!
