Re: my 6x6 bullhead crane truck!!
 

Impressive work! Looks really good!

Re: my 6x6 bullhead crane truck!!
 

thanks! Now should the crane be mounted on the frame.:)

Re: my 6x6 bullhead crane truck!!
 

Man I'm digging this truck! Great job! I've thought about using a bullhead body to build a water truck for our dirt oval. Hmmmm... gets me ta thinking. :D

Re: my 6x6 bullhead crane truck!!
 

dont stop - I like this truck. great fit of handmade parts - not easy to do sometimes.

Re: my 6x6 bullhead crane truck!!
 

great job makes me want to finish restoring my bullhead!

Re: my 6x6 bullhead crane truck!!
 

That's cool. I didn't realize building a pass through axle, with input and output shafts, from an Axial model, was that easy. Did you just take the two molded halves, and bolt them together? Do they fit together as easy as they look like they do? Any necessary modifications?

Re: my 6x6 bullhead crane truck!!
 

yes you just need to remove the flange on one axle. then screw them together.
