Re: Project Shot Gun my new dump truck
Hello everyone, a few mock up pictures of the front suspension. This truck has available 6wd with the use of the RS trans with a dig, so I went with the Lesu front springs and mounts.
http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/h...ps2ae59677.jpg http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/h...ps8d3d3a0d.jpg I had to machine a set of control arms for the integy front axle for them to clear the front super single wheels.I will snap some pics of those as soon as the paint dries. That's it for now. Ed |

Re: Project Shot Gun my new dump truck
Hi Ed my computer went down and lost a lot of info. Is that a Pete or a KW cab? Did you get another mill yet? Nice work on the suspension. Ed
