ok..without further ado ! Our favorite hosting site was being a PITA .
The 361 on its wheels for a photo op !
Yes the rear tires are sticking WAY out right now..I'm setting the axle width and just stuck em on for a quick pic ! I used the metal kit axle inside a plastic tube to fit the hole in wheel backer. The tube was extra long for tweaking ! The rear suspension is none other than the Rockwells from the Autocar , and the front also sourced from that kit.
I sawed the outed hanger plate from the spring using a PE saw, so the spring will line up straight on the Mack frame. OH I m swapped to the spare DM800 tractor rails since the R Mack rails looked puny on this truck !!
After guessing at the wheel opening, the springs and axle were glued in. I ended up cutting the front motor mount/ x member till the autocar axle fit proper. here's the frame currently with its Detroit 8V nestled in the frame.
The battery box/ air tanks looked too far apart to me so the PE saw separated the Siamese twins and after judicious sanding, I had em looking better.
Thanks for dropping in! Any comments welcome
