Dodge Ram Tow Rig

[stewart]

This as a project I have been working on for over the last couple of weeks. Lots of bodywork.

I extended the hood about a 1/2 inch and extended the roof line. The bed is to AMT dually beds put together. I widened the fenders by cutting them off and extending them with a strip of styrene.

Here is the end look I am going for

with a little bit of this mixed in

I plan on using a big-rig diesel with exhaust stacks and a semi truck suspension. I am just letting this one "design itself" as I go along.

I will be using these wheels with a super single-type tire in the back.

I opened up the rear wheel wells a little more. I have to wait to do too much more though until my wheels and tires get here. This is the suspension I will be using. It is a resin setup from a Volvo full-size rig.

Engine is looking Good.

Nice rear frame section.

Nice Stretch on the Dodge.

I started work on the suspension setup. I decided I didn't really like the setup of the one I had and I was going to have to modify it anyway so I decided to use some of the parts and make a setup similar to this Hendrickson setup.

I had to extend the axles in order to get the wheels out under the fenders. I am planning on doing a rather detailed setup with all the nuts and bolts.

Here is a picture with the slightly enlarged wheel arches. I basically lengthened the arches.
