That is a clean looking truck that looks ready to work. Lowboy will look good behind that with the skidder.

Re: Peterbilt 357 (snochaser's work in progress)
Here's some progress pics of my lowboy. It will be (hopefully) r/c detachable neck. I am waiting on a linear actuator and I'll get a bit further. I have used screws, rivets and Muggy weld (works great) on it.

Re: Peterbilt 357 (snochaser's work in progress)
Looking real good Ben, your skidder looks great on the lowbed. What is Muggy Weld I have never heard of that up North ?

Re: Peterbilt 357 (snochaser's work in progress)
Boy, that skidder is going to be a perfect load. The trailer looks great. How are you keeping the main beams and cross members all together?

Re: Peterbilt 357 (snochaser's work in progress)
I cut out pockets (square) in the center beams then riveted them and the outer beams will be Muggy welded.

Your low boy is really looking good. Complaments the rig very well.

Re: Peterbilt 357 (snochaser's work in progress)
Not too much has changed. Made a battery tray for the truck, beaver tailed the frame, added headache rack, muggy welded the trailer side rails, real close to having the neck operational....
hopefully more progress (Steve/wheels, hint,hint) in a another week or two. I have a set of floats and roadies on hand to add also. Ben |

Re: Peterbilt 357 (snochaser's work in progress)
Ben, that under side shot of the trailer answers my question very well, but what exactly is Muggy weld? I really like your trailer. The detachable neck looks like it will be very functional. Good job. Looking forward to the updates.
