Custom Peterbuilt Dumper

[JohnStilwell]

Update:

I finally got the front together. The Highlift leaf springs are about 3/4" eye-to-eye longer than the stock King Hauler, so I had to drill new holes for the rear spring hangers about 1/2" toward the rear and redo how the front spring mounts are done, I used the metal front shock mounts and one of the metal body angle pieces and mounted the shock hangars to it. Drilled a couple of holes and screwed this angle piece to the front plastic cross member where the servos mount. Doing this keeps the tires centered in the wheel well and the axle is at the correct stock height.



I am going to have to mount the steering servo like this, right up against the front bumper, due to the large hogs head needing room when the front suspension compresses. I will lay the trans servo flat in the space left between the tranny and the steering servo.






I also finished the custom shorter fuel tanks I made. Turned out pretty good I think.



Thanks for looking,

John
