Looking good there uncle Freddy.

Re: My F-350 4x4 Dually
 

Freddy- who's cylinders are you using for the angle cylinders? I know you said you were hoping for snow because of Big Bud and this truck, but what about the tandem axle with the plow and salt/sand box and spreader?

Re: My F-350 4x4 Dually
 

You mean this plow?
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...mppics4213.jpg

Re: My F-350 4x4 Dually
 

No doubt! One fine rig. I wasn't sure if those were from PMD or not, they look good. Hopefully I will see a few of them sometime here in the very near future.

Re: My F-350 4x4 Dually
 

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:

Re: My F-350 4x4 Dually
 

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.
Well made the lower push bar & mounts.

http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...mppics4571.jpg
Then the plow pin mounts,& now she hanges on the truck.
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...mppics4574.jpg
This is the blade in normal push mode.

Re: My F-350 4x4 Dually
 

Your looking good Fred but even if the bed i:cool:s half as deep you could still cover it like a tarp and stash things in there. Ed

Re: My F-350 4x4 Dually
 

Lookin' good Fred, where's the bumper on the yellow plow?

Re: My F-350 4x4 Dually
 

Geez Freddy the detail on the plow is amazing. I can't wait to see the rear plow.

Travis "00" Biddle

Re: My F-350 4x4 Dually
 

Ed,I'm wrong about there being half the bed on top open.There's a whopping 1/2 inch of space.
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...mppics4583.jpg
All the room is under the bed,& that's gunna be packed full also!:eek:

Re: My F-350 4x4 Dually,Soon to be the plow King
 

Re: My F-350 4x4 Dually,Soon to be the plow King
 

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.

Warning this product is not recomended for users under 16 yaers of age or a Red Neck with a case of beer and and a "Hay yall watch tis atitude".:D

Re: My F-350 4x4 Dually,Soon to be the plow King
 

darn! i wanted to play!:(

Re: My F-350 4x4 Dually,Soon to be the plow King
 

That's awesome!

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

Re: My F-350 4x4 Dually,Soon to be the plow King
 

LOL. . . . That's fer sure!

Re: My F-350 4x4 Dually,Soon to be the plow King
 

Freddy. Your wood splitter is awsome and will be great see it at work. If you realy want to speed her up, try one of these.

Thanks for lookin!
FGD

Re: My F-350 4x4 Dually,Soon to be the plow King
 

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.
