tbill Posted January 2, 2022 Author 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.
Bills72sj Posted January 14, 2022 Posted January 14, 2022 I love the Freightliner logo wheels and the tag axle.
Mopar - D Posted January 14, 2022 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?
tbill Posted January 15, 2022 Author 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 Posted January 16, 2022 good start Tom, this looks especially nice w the lift axle
tbill Posted January 16, 2022 Author 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.
Rusty92 Posted January 17, 2022 Posted January 17, 2022 Looking good, will be a looker for sure when completed!
gotnitro? Posted January 17, 2022 Posted January 17, 2022 Looking good on the headache rack ! Lmk if ya can't locate any amber lights, im sure I can drum a few up.
vincen47 Posted January 17, 2022 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
Mopar - D Posted January 17, 2022 Posted January 17, 2022 Nice progress Tom I like what your doing with your modifications.

tbill Posted January 17, 2022 Author 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
tbill Posted January 18, 2022 Author 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……
gotnitro? Posted January 18, 2022 Posted January 18, 2022 Nice mock up going w floats is a great change
tbill Posted January 18, 2022 Author Posted January 18, 2022 Thanks guys. We have some color on the cab and hood…….
Jim B Posted January 18, 2022 Posted January 18, 2022 (edited) Well, ain't that pretty! Nice color. Edited January 18, 2022 by Jim B
