Autocar Rebuild Update

[SpreadAxle]

The frame is in the ER so to speak. I thought I had it's "travel box" secure, but it fell, so the rear suspension is undergoing a little surgery. No real damage, I just have to put it back together. I will have a progress pic or two later this eveing. I have the auxiliary transmission installed. Which brings me towards starting on the other rear of frame details. I need to get the hydraulic tank in place, as well as decide on a deck plate. Then onward to the engine. I decided to hold off on working the cab until the frame is further along and the engine reinstalled. Not too far to go, I just have to work steady. I spent the afternoon replacing the condensor on my truck(the workbench on wheels must have a/c), so now it's back to the workbench.

Ray,

I would love to see how the drivers dump these type of double trailers and how they reverse them? Wow!! :shock: Must take a lot of skill. 8)

It does. I never drove doubles, but I am licensed for it. As 4 how they are dumped, I believe the train is broken up first, but I'm not sure.

here is the cab before it was stripped it. it's in the sanding/primer stage now. this will be the paint scheme. the stripes are from the autocar dump truck kit.
