Re: T880 - Izzy style???
Wow that's awesome! I never would have thought about starting with a ford. If you go to www.truckpaper.com there are some pretty decent photos of the T880. Look under conventionals without sleepers.

Re: T880 - Izzy style???
For those interested - the bell cranks are for some other kit - found them on E-Bay. Double ball bearing all aluminum with a steel shaft and set screws on flats - they come as a pair for 1 truck. A little big but I think it turned out great. And only 30 some bucks plus a little for shipping for the pair!

Re: T880 - Izzy style???
Thanks for the links Izzy, I was on that site for about 2 hours, ran some searches which I'm terrible at. I only found a few of the the cab parts, not sure why it didn't show all of them!

Re: T880 - Izzy style???

You're doing a bang up job already Izzy.

Re: T880 - Izzy style???
I had the integy gearbox machined so that the motor would be turned backwards. I don't think I'm the first on this.

Re: T880 - Izzy style???
Back from vacation - and waiting for shape ways order - I'll post pics then. Spent time yesterday hooking up receiver and adjusting linkages for steering and shirt. my test run found that I had the pinion in wrong location and was getting a chunking noise (set screw hitting teeth..... so simple adjust and go forward - except I had to dig the tranny out to do it. But in all everything is settled now and ready to get back to the body work. I am anxious for the shape ways order - I ordered a hood clip and the headlight covers. This is True Scales design - but do understand it is for a peterbilt style not the t880 - so we have to see how clos it is - I think it has aspects the ford does not. For instance I don't like how square the side profile of the fenders on the aero are - whereas the peterbilt and the t880 are rounded.
