slownlow Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 We’ll, stick a fork in ‘er she’s done. She’s built from the Lindberg semi kit and one of the more miserable kits I have worked on. Anyway I still had a lot of fun. The top is chopped 3/16” which is about 4” 1:1. The flatbed is the trailer shortened and resting on a lengthened frame. A new front axel was made to lower the front end. As I was working on it I grabbed a 32 sedan from my shelf and liked the look so well I decided to make them a pair. If your interested in all the details the build is posted in the WIP section. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One can find inspiration in the strangest places. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TarheelRick Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Very well-built hauler. Do you have any photos of the lift cylinder? That is a nemesis of mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slownlow Posted January 1, 2023 Author Share Posted January 1, 2023 On 12/28/2022 at 7:56 AM, TarheelRick said: Do you have any photos of the lift cylinder Here are three pics i I started with a 3/16 tube and a 1/8” rod.Then two narrow (1/16) sections of the tube were cut. One mounted 90 degrees to the end of the tube and on to the end of the rod creating “eyes” I could pass rod through going from side to side of the frame and the bed. To limit the extent of the rod travel inside the hydraulic tube to prevent it from coming out I made a slot in the tube and drilled a peg into the rod. I hope these help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
