I wish you had the time to just work on this truck and nothing else.
I'm ready to see this thing done.It's going to be an epic build
Thanks Troy, wish I had the time to get her done as well, but then I wouldn't have the cash to finish it.. It's a vicious circle.

Hey Gents

I actually did some work on the Shak today...

I figured out a way to run the fifth wheel lock and have all the linkage under the deck plate.

I made a sort of bell crank.

Now I will be able to have the servo in the sleeper and no linkage seen.

I also built a functional release handle just like the real ones, so I will be able to unlock it either way.

I do have one question though, I'm sure Paul, Nate, or any number of you can answer this for me.

Is there a way to limit the travel of a servo or will it do it automatically.

The reason I ask is cause the throw on the lock is only about 1/2" and if it goes to far past the limit either way it could move part of the linkage for the lock and make it so it won't work right.


Anyway here are some pictures.







The under side. I have made this by pinching the bottom part of the bell crank between two nuts because I have to have a way to remove the fifth wheel through the deck plate. This is the part that could turn if the servo moves to far.







Here is the release handle.
















Now all I need is some ball joints and I got it made..


Does anyone know where to get some 2mm and 3mm all thread rods?

Glad to see the Shak is Back Mike. Great idea with the dual function on the fifth wheel. The way I built my wife's truck I realize there is no way to run it manually
Thanks for posting and hope to see more

Mario.
