  1. hey guys updates i fixed the axle! and did a little more work starting to install the cat 3406 just to see what kinda work will be needed and it looks like not a whole lot of mods to the mounts! maybe someone can get me a pic of how the mounts look for a 3406 in a 377 ae if thats possible so it would be more accurate! but i dont know i still may stick with the series 60!
  2. hey bandit1 here from the truckstop i thought i would just ask you about the pumper body that came with this truck you bought off ebay now did the deal go through since i hadnt heard anything for a while or what?
  3. actually fellows there is a product called "wesleys bleech wite" < i think thats how its spelled! its used to keep the white wall tires white! you can find it in any automotive parts stores just go in and ask for (pronounced) wesleys bleach white!~ heres a plus it wont harm the plastic anyway shape or form! and something even better if you go get "pantyhose"... yes i said it "pantyhose" you can use that as a filter and just reuse the stuff over and over and even over!
  4. its not a fleet as far as it goes right now but hey you know how plans change on the fly huh? im actually building this as a nice o/o i will be the driver! im going to be using the kit decals (the red one with the flags! catch you later i gotta meeting to be at right now!~
  5. hi everyone i wanted to post this here for you all "fellers" to see its the 377 ae kit... the red one with the flags on it!... i posted this over at the truckstop a while ago but again i wanted you guys to see it! heres where i started with the frame!- heres the front axle minus the tie rod im still working on making it poseible! and heres the rear axles the first one i screwed up on and im in the middle of fixing so once i get that fixed ill give you guys updates on the progress- heres the airbags that i detailed with a "special item"!- what do you'll think should i stick with the series 60 or do a swap for a cat 3406? even though the instructions say paint the 60 in yellow! duh! its detroit not cat italeri! comments and suggestions welcomed!
  6. hey great work so far i need to get on my dump project! question for you kurt- whats the best places (cheap & reliable) where you find all this evergreen at? also do you ever buy any of evil-bay??? i found my next project (inspired by this build!) i think i gotta parts wanted in the wanted section but i need parts from the 378 kit(mainly put dual breathers on the 377 kit and the spare drive wheels for my lift axle!) and i am going to pick up a 377 a/e kit (red one with the flags) and build a custom dumper my self now seeing that my 359 triaxle is going to have the alfab smoothside i will try to find the perfect dump body for the 377! again great work! cheers - bandit1!~
