Thank you guys.

Well I can't believe it's been well over a month again since I've worked on this. I'm slowly getting caught up on other stuff and once I do I plan to focus all of my efforts on this truck until it's done.

I did get a little done yesterday and today though as it finally steers! Much more work to do now that I know it works!

Haha, I do sleep but there has been very little time for anything else in my life that's for sure. I keep pushing this truck to the side so that I can take on more trailer and dump box builds for guys on here but I need to stop doing that and just finish this! My friend has been waiting ever so patiently for this to be finished! Mark thinks he had to wait a long time... pfff, this guy has been waiting over a year and all he has is a front end!

Great job Reg you keep getting better and better with your builds and have a lot of realism with the parts. Keep up the good work. Ed

You made the wheels and what are you using for tires? It ALL looks nice!

Well two months have gone by again since the last time I worked on this. I had cut the leaf springs months ago and had most of the machining done on the trunnion thingy so I thought I should start putting it all together. In an effort to make the springs look thicker I sheared some styrene to the same width as the springs and glued it on. I then made up the U bolts and threaded the ends for 2-56 nuts. Once painted I think this will look pretty good. For now it reminds me of an Oreo cookie.lol I also finally bolted the front fenders on using 0-80 bolts.

Sweet cookies ..........

bigford · #94 04-02-2016, 11:09 PM

yeah what he said!!

Northern Farmer · #95 04-02-2016, 11:47 PM

Starting to look like a truck

DADSGARAGE · #96 04-03-2016, 04:03 AM

Very nice!!! Well done....sweet indeed!!!!

RCP57 · #97 04-03-2016, 11:13 PM

Thanks boys. I spent a few hours working on some frame plates today. It will have to go back on the shelf again tomorrow

.

RCP57 · #98 05-15-2016, 08:57 PM

I put in a couple of hours on this the other day and made the brush guard for the radiator.

RCP57 · #99 05-18-2016, 09:51 PM

The real truck has the frame gusseted in the middle to support the twin, triple stage hydraulic cylinders. I machined some gussets up for the toy today and have them temporarily held in place.

Bo Wallen · #**100** 05-19-2016, 12:27 AM

There is a lot to like in this build Reg. Tonight I'm liking the Front Bumper........
I might need to ask if i can have four of those for my KH/GH...

Carry on Please
