Looking forward to your progress.
Best regards,

Thanks!
I used plastic for the wheels, both because it is easy to machine and it is light.
I don't have a lot of info on the truck, but there are enough pictures on the internet.
I plan on using hydraulics the dump function. I will make the cylinders myself. That will be a nice challenge!
