TokyoDrift99 Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 Hey guys this is my first post in a long time, but does anybody know where I could source some 8 lug dually wheels to go on the monogram f250 kit. I am looking to turn his into some sort of service truck or something, and I certainly can't use the 5 LUG wheels that came with the kit. Seriously what were they thinking. Anyways would a dually cab and chassis truck like the one I plan to build have a solid front axle, or the independent suspension that came on the truck. If it is supposed to be solid axle could I just fabricate one from styrene? Thanks.
slusher Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 Nice start. I would try scenes unlimited on the wheels. http://www.scenesunltd.com/
SSNJim Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 The best place would be the Monogram F-350 kit. It's pretty much identical to the F-250 you have, but with the dually wheels and bed. The F-250 and F-350 models use identical chassis and suspensions. They are out of production, but can still be located for a reasonable price.
zaina Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 If I remember right the from suspension would be independent unless it was a 4x4. I am also searching for dually wheels and tires just not sure which ones to use.
Guest Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 (edited) Just buy the F-350 if you're wanting a dually. http://www.ebay.com/itm/MONOGRAM-FORD-F-350-DUALLIE-2WD-PICKUP-TRUCK-1-24-MODEL-KIT-OPEN-PARTS-/261514959059?pt=Model_Kit_US&hash=item3ce38198d3 Edited June 28, 2014 by plowboy
MsDano85gt Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 yes the tow truck dually wheels are nice!! so is the wrecker bed, rest of the kit blah!
TokyoDrift99 Posted June 28, 2014 Author Posted June 28, 2014 Alright, I might pick up the wrecker kit, I could possibly make a Ford wrecker. I have looked at the f350 kit before, and they are too expensive.
