tbill Posted January 2, 2022 Author Share Posted January 2, 2022 Making some progress, adding a Neway lift axle ( from GW Trucks), got enough of the frame together to get the lift axle somewhat situated, mocked it up with some other wheels/tires I had on hand just to get a feel for things. Still a lot to do on the frame and lift axle, but it’s moving along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopar - D Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Great start Tom the tag axle looks like it was part of the kit. Have you decided on what colors your going to use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbill Posted January 15, 2022 Author Share Posted January 15, 2022 Thanks guys, got some more work done today , front axle is installed, tag axle is completely mounted, axle backing plates and brake chambers on, and got part of the motor built. colors are still in the air, every time I think I know, I change my mind, haha!

gotnitro? Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 good start Tom, this looks especially nice w the lift axle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbill Posted January 16, 2022 Author Share Posted January 16, 2022 Thanks guys. Made a headache rack today, got more stuff glued to the frame and found a set of tool boxes I had laying around from AITM that I think will go on it as well, hope to get some primer on the frame later. I’ll probably put some spot lights and maybe an amber rotator on the rack if I can find something in the parts bin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincen47 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) Looks great with the lift axle and rack. Maybe front floats to round out the heavy haul package? Edited January 17, 2022 by vincen47 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great idea, I’ll have to see what I’ve got for tires in the parts stash, hadn’t even thought of that… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbill Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 Thanks guys, now that I’ve got some color on some things, and some parts rounded up, I’m feeling better about this build, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbill Posted January 18, 2022 Author Share Posted January 18, 2022 Ok, digging thru the tire and wheel drawer was a success, we have front floats! Thanks to vincen47 for opening my eyes to this over sight. So, here is yet another mock up of where we are going…… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
