Cool build Paul. I think it looks just right. I used to see a lot of these cruising around in my neck of the woods. I'm located between a few modular home builders, and they used to drive past a lot, pulling half a house, but I have not seen any for a long time now. Anyway, it's looking really good. I think the body in back of the cab looks especially nice.

Looks good Paul , don't give up on the dremel I did that a couple times . pull the brushes make sure they slide . mine gets stuck when it gets hot . sometimes you have to pull it apart and clean the ( don't know the part name) section where the brushes are so it's a nice shinny copper again .

Paul if it's all right - I'm gonna have to sue your mirror mount idea - Ive tried to solder my mirror brackets to the tube twice and broke every time.....nice engineering!
Overall looks really good - I'll have a nice suprise for you come St. Louis! |

I got most of the Jack made tonight for the back of the truck.. It will be able to lift around 4 inches or better high. It is built out of alum and then has a derlin shim on the inside so it slides freely up and down. I will have a spring pulling down and use a winch hid under the be to pull up one the sled the hitch is hooked too. So here is what i have..

I agree with Freddy but I forsee a problem. You might want to make the moveable hitch piece out of delrin instead of just a shim. Any type of pressure on it with metal to metal contact will cause it to bind.
Oh ya, where is the side to side movement mechanism? Ones I looked at had this plus in and out controls. ![]() ![]() |

Lynn there is no metal to metal the alum slides in derlin..and I am not doing the side to side no all of them have that and some don't even have the lift!
