Thanks Sue, it may take me a while but I will get there.



Here are some update pics. The suspension is mounted and almost done. I was also able to get the CAT engine and the trans mounted . Well good thing it is a Highway truck because once the engine and trans were mounted, I now have almost no ground clearance. The front bumper should help plow the way so the trans doesn't drag. I also milled out a new front crossmember/engine mount/ bumper mount.






















Thanks for looking.
Travis

Your suspension design looks good. Nice machining work too.

You are correct, Willy. Plus it is a very small gear motor
I must agree with Izzy and PFB, Travis. You are getting much better at machining and what a difference a couple of days make. All I remember was some fancy frame rails and some raw machined parts on Sat.

Might have a package headed your way Friday
