My F-350 4x4 Dually,NOW!The plow King!

[FreddyGearDrive]

My next build that I want to do is going to test me patiants & skills to the max.Have been on heavy medication,& it's knockin the stuffin out of me.
So gunna go w/somethin nice & easy.
Been wanting to build an rc verson of the truck I drive. Special ordered this baby back in 99. It's 4x4,stick,v-10 w/4-56 posi. It's an animal!
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn50/FreddyGearDrive/freddys%20best/dumppics4391.jpg
So...,my toy verson best have some hair. Did some parts collecting & just about got it all together.
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn50/FreddyGearDrive/freddys%20best/dumppics4379.jpg
I have a headache rack & tool box in the back of the truck.
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn50/FreddyGearDrive/freddys%20best/dumppics4384.jpg
So had to come up w/those two parts.
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn50/FreddyGearDrive/freddys%20best/dumppics4387.jpg
Nice HUH?
Had to make up new frame rails.Not useing much of the f-350 parts,so don't need a swiss cheese frame.
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn50/FreddyGearDrive/freddys%20best/dumppics4380.jpg
She's gunna be pullin some heavy loads on the goose neck.
So she's gittin some good heavy duty axles.
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn50/FreddyGearDrive/freddys%20best/dumppics4394.jpg
Was going to use Bruiser trany,but it's a tad on the big side.
So,the stock trany goes in er,of course gear reduced.
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn50/FreddyGearDrive/freddys%20best/dumppics4388.jpg
Bought some tires & rims,that I assumed would do the trick.
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn50/FreddyGearDrive/freddys%20best/dumppics4382.jpg
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn50/FreddyGearDrive/freddys%20best/dumppics4386.jpg
The rims are a wonderful thing! But the tires are to big for me,whachya think?
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn50/FreddyGearDrive/freddys%20best/dumppics4390.jpg
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn50/FreddyGearDrive/freddys%20best/dumppics4389.jpg
Anyone know where I can find some smaller dia tires to fit these rims.
There from rc4wd. didn't see any smaller ones.
Thanks for lookin!
FGD

[JAMMER]

your looking good Fred. What about the tires on your drop deck would they be better? Ed

[Thorsteenster]

Looking real good, nice job on the toolbox and headache rack.
Tire wise, I'd suggest the Tamiya BFG's for a nice scale looking smaller tire. Although, the bigger tires might look better being they stick out a bit and lend to agressive look. The smaller tires might just look funny sticking out past the fenders. The rear fender will be easy to match to the width, and looking at the 1:1 the front fender looks to have a bit more of a flare in the arch than the model body so maybe you could add a bit to that.

[RAIDERS]

i like this one. i'm a GMC guy my self. looking good fred!!!

[Snochaser]

I'm sure you will "knock this one out of the park" too Freddy. The tires are a bit much for me too.

Ben

[rcguyfarms]

u got me beat, I will have to get working on my own f-350 dually. those aeromax roof light I was asking about will go on mine.

[RAIDERS]

:DFRED IF U LIFT THE TRUCK ALITTLE THE TIRES MITE LOOK BETTER LOOK AT THIS TRUCK CLOSE TO YOURS TRUCK JUST AN EXTRA CAB HOPE THAT HELPS... http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo90/h8auburn/071.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.powerstroke.org/forum/dually-discussion/73783-lifted-dually.html&h=768&w=1024&sz=157&tbnid=WT5DGAOTzxXXoM:&tbnh=113&tbnw=150&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dlifted%2Bduallies&zoom=1&q=lifted+duallies&usg=__VLAoa7x_z3pnZkN0H9X6cZKv4ZY=&sa=X&ei=V1GUTLGMNIi4sQOVz_S_Cg&ved=0CB0Q9QEwAg

[Losiassociated]

Look n good Freddy,
But you should make it a crew cab.
I love all the parts headache rack,toolbox,and them metal axles are they the narrowed ones?

[JAMMER]

Fred are those RC Channel rear ends going to be to wide for your 350? Ed

[FreddyGearDrive]

Glad you boys are diggin the build so far.
Can't take credit for the tool box & headache rack,Captian scale made them for me awhile back. They turned out really sweet.
Well...gunna use these tires & lift the truck a bit to make up the diff.
Glad I asked you boys before started drillin.
Ed,think they'll be ok for this build. Won't know till get the rear fenders out & see if it's gunna look close to the 1:1.
Hopefully will have some time today to get a jump on this baby.
My main concern is if I have room to stash all the hydraulics for the front & rear blade:eek: Now this will bring it to a new level. This plow setup is getting dump springs & the whole banana. Really don't want to use servos to run the stuff.Time will tell!
Thanks for lookin!
FGD

[Cossett]

Hi Freddy,

So this is what out boss drivers it's going to make for a one bad *** build, that's some fine work on the headache rack

Cheers Cossett

[FreddyGearDrive]

oooooohhhh.....ooooHHHH.....OOOOOOHHHHH!
Yea baby! Did some diggin lookin for hydraulic stuff,& scored big time!
Forgot I had this garbage fom India,so this is the perfect time to use it up. Also have one of these cheap plastic pumps.EXCELLENT!!:D Kinda looks like there's enough room to pull it off. I HOPE!
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn50/FreddyGearDrive/freddys%20best/dumppics4396.jpg
Well had to make up some front spring mounts.
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn50/FreddyGearDrive/freddys%20best/dumppics4395.jpg
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn50/FreddyGearDrive/freddys%20best/dumppics4397.jpg
Didn't want to go to high w/this baby,so set the high where it looks right to me.
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn50/FreddyGearDrive/freddys%20best/dumppics4399.jpg
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn50/FreddyGearDrive/freddys%20best/dumppics4400.jpg
Turns out,it's just like a real truck.If you don't have enough lift for the size tires your runnin,your butchin!
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn50/FreddyGearDrive/freddys%20best/dumppics4401.jpg
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn50/FreddyGearDrive/freddys%20best/dumppics4402.jpg
Can't git a set of fleas balls between the fender & tire on a turn. So either I butch the fenders & bumper,OR find smaller tires. Because it ain't goin no higher. It never ends!:mad:
Yea Cossett,he did a nice job on the rack!
Thanks for lookin!

[Stuff]

that looks wicked freddy!~! keep up the good work!

[fhhhstix]

Look n good Freddy,
But you should make it a crew cab.
I love all the parts headache rack,toolbox,and them metal axles are they the narrowed ones?

Freddy is copying his peronal 1:1 truck and it is a standard cab.

Travis

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Hey freddy that truck would look good as a long box and a ext cab you should do that.. And them tires look BIG on there..

[Espeefan]

Looking great! The stance is perfect, but the tires still do look a little over sized. Not sure what other options are out there. How would a 1/14 scale semi tire look under the fenders? Dually rims would be perfect in the rear. The only downside is you'd loose the rims, which are accurate. Shame the tires aren't just a little shorter. Either way, Fred, you'll figure it out, I am sure. Going to be a neat build to watch.

[Tamiya Cowboy]

I got another Idea too..How about a snow plow on the front and maybe somthing on the rear too??

[Stepside]

awesome looking build FGD! That'll be neat to have a scale version of ur 1:1...

captain scale has one of my favorite dually builds...


v-10, can you pass a gas station!!! lol! ;)

[SonoranWraith]

I wonder how it would look with with 1.55's but rc4wd doesn't make rims in a dually set. I'd echo that for the ride height, the tires look too tall.

[Espeefan]

Not sure if all the 1.5 tires are shorter in height. Some 1.5 tires are almost as tall as 1.9 tires, but the rim they mount to is smaller. Maybe you could stretch some shorter overall height 1.5s over the 1.9 rims and get a little better looking combo?

[Bigrigger]

Looks great Freddy! How about you trim the tires? Maybe cut the outer section of tire off, that would make it look more scale. It will also fix your turning problem.:D Can't wait for an update!:D

[FreddyGearDrive]

Thanks guys!
Well threw in the towel on this be'in the mini of my 1:1. Gunna round up a new set of parts & go for it again.(later)
Guess I'll just make this one the snow fighter. W/the parts I have now will never get it the way I want it to look.
So....Onward! Started platin the frame so I can stuff it full of goodies.

[Claus]

What kind of a dump box are you going for? I guess you not going to have a driver in the cab.

[Bigrigger]

The chassis looks uneven, and the truck looks squished. Besides that it looks awesome Freddy!:D:rolleyes:

[Stuff]

The chassis looks uneven, and the truck looks squished. Besides that it looks awesome Freddy!:D:rolleyes:

wait till he gets the bumper and the box on lol

[Losiassociated]

looks good but it is a short one.

[FreddyGearDrive]

Yea! She's short,that's why I'm going a different route. When I first started this build I took measurements off of my real truck because it looked short to me also. Then checked the model in 14th scale. :o That would have been fine,EXCEPT IT'S 10th scale. Figured out My head was up my a$$ half into the build!:D So between the diffs,wheels,tires & my screw up,It's now going to be the plow King!:rolleyes:
Don't know if you boys ever seen my salt truck,that looked like a robot inside & swore I'de never go that route again. Didn't take long & here's another one.:eek:
Well didn't like the plastic tank so decided to make one as part of the truck.

Thanks for lookin!
FGD

OH! & Trucker,maybe take a look in the mirror,& see if what your lookin at ain't a little uneven on that end. :D
Thanks Guys!

[Bigrigger]

:p I'm pretty straight there, Chucky Cheese. lol Just slap a longer frame on it Jerry.:D By the way, sorry I'm forgettin' your name Danny.:D

Til next time, Clark.

[sneff]

Freddy, I know those tires are awesome but go with the stock tamiya tires and it will look more scale. The 1/10 f350 body with the 1/14 tires usually looks good. I've seen other dually projects from other people and they look fine. That will also help narrow up the rear end.
Other than that it looks great as usual.

See ya later today.
Flounder:D

[FreddyGearDrive]

Hey Trucker,Give you a hint. It starts w/an F.
Thanks Sneff.
Last time I wanted the pump to only run when needed,it got into some complex shyt. So this time I went about it a different way.See'in on how the servo has to move the valve,why not make it turn on the pump.

[JAMMER]

Fred you have done a great job but I do think that there is not shoe horn big enough for this one there is a lot going on there and knowing you it isn't all there yet. Ed:confused:

[FreddyGearDrive]

Now Travis,what color would you paint it? I myself was thinkin some kinda blue. But can't figure out light or dark.But then again,jet black ain't so bad.:D:D What can I tell yu,there's even a song that states that very thing!:p

Fred I a curious where the little man that runs this going to sit? Did you think of putting a cover over the bed and putting some of the electric's in there I know you are going to run a goose neck trailer but you could put a cover around were the fifth wheel is and use that space. Ed :confused:

[FreddyGearDrive]

Ed,the bed is only half as deep as it should be in real life.Tamiya left a nice place to stash the goodies. & like you said,trailer.

[fhhhstix]

That has to be a first and the best idea I have seen in a long time great job uncle Freddy.:cool::cool::cool::cool: Just keep your fingers out of it because I am gonna bet it would hurt like hec for just a second till it cutts the finger right off.

darn! i wanted to play!:(

[pugs]

That's awesome!

Should have modeled after this one http://www.multitekinc.com/app/inventoryapp/log_buster/inventory_list/2-10.html
Then atleast you could split some decent size twigs ;)

Thanks for lookin!

[Espeefan]

Wow, that is some fine machine work, Fred. This is a crazy set-up! I can't believe you managed to fit all the needed electronic and hydraulic gear into the chassis, plus the cab still fits! Amazing. Probably the one of the cooler Tamiya Highlift builds I've seen. Most guys just crawl or run the trails with their trucks, but you are going to push some serious snow.

[Losiassociated]

Good job Frddy

[mog]

looking good we just got 3 inch of snow and i could sheer use the help with the drive way lol good work

[bucshott]

SWEET FGD. It's looking great.

[JAMMER]

That looks real good Fred. At this rate you will have all the money you got from selling the business gone. Ed

[FreddyGearDrive]

Thanks Guys!
Mog from what I see on tv,your gunna need more than this little toy.
Jammer,that's long gone!
Well had to remove all the hydraulics from India & start over again.
Also reworked the rear cylinder configuration. Click on pics!

Freddy. She's looking real good. Truck's a good pusher, and it will be unstoppable with more lead on her. Found a radio for you that has four sticks on the same face. It's used on the Italian excavator. 2.4 GHz
