Default Re: Ram Build

In the 1:1 world, I'm a Ford guy, but I'd take a RAM over a GM any day. (Actually, my FIL says the perfect truck would be my SuperDuty with the Cummins out of the RAM and the Allison out of the Chebbie. But I digress.)

I think those new tires will do much better for it. The ones one it now (that came with the truck, I presume?) are way too big, bro-dozer style, ugh.

Doing a dump bed sounds fantastic. Depending on size, might be really hard to do RC, though. Even the small Actuonix linear actuators are kinda big. Servo(s) and lever(s)? Or were you gonna do like a manual crank for it?

For a tow rig, you might do up the rear as a dually, do the wider fenders for it. Could just space the rear wheels out and fake it, or actually double them up with spacers inside.

Anyway, my ramblings aside, I think that's gonna look good. I get so caught up in my scratch work that I forget that it takes MORE work to retrofit stuff in a conversion like that!
