Re: Peterbilt 357
Thanks Bucshott
I managed to get the wrong linear actuator per the company, so it'll probably be another 2 to 2-1/2 weeks till I get it to break down remotely. So I rigged it to work, so I could pull it around. The trailer "sags" in the front for now but won't once it's hooked up properly. I hope to build a flip/tag axle also. Lou- will your Deere log loader fit on here? Ben |

Re: Peterbilt 357
Nice! Lovin that lowboy. Truck is good too. Post some photos of that beaver tail you mentioned - please.
Nice clean workmanship! Stacks and rims are some real nice bling! Izzy |

Re: Peterbilt 357
Thanks Guys.
Izzy, when I mentioned the beaver tail, I was talking about the rear frame portion of tractor, not the rear of the lowboy. I believe the lowboy may become scrap, unless I make it static (no removable neck) it's just not working the way I want it to and still look good. The cab is undergoing a make over along with some other items, new paint (didn't care for the original fit and finish of the body filler that was performed before I purchased it) and my paint job afterwards. So I've got a lot to accomplish in a month before Brookville with three different builds/refurbish projects. Ben

Re: Peterbilt 357
Welp I managed to screw up my paint scheme, painted the opposite of what I wanted to do. I guess we'll see what it looks like and go from there.

Re: Peterbilt 357
Here's my belly dump I finished a few months back, still refining the tractor. Hopefully I will be done with the lowboy and 357 by the time Indy rolls around.

Re: Peterbilt 357
That's on good looking bottom dump. The details you added to really make it stand out.
