Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
Thanks Sharkey, yes they are excellent. The pics do no justice to the close up detail of them. Now I gotta come up with some cargo:eek: Got a few ideas but right now were in the middle of Susan's truck transformation and focus is on that right now:D:D . She's gonna love it when it's done:):)

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
No, actually Susan's truck is in ricks hands ( pro builder ) the white Weidco Pete is another project I couldn't say no to:D:D

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
hey mario nice flatbed ...looks heavy duty....i managed to get some of the newsletters from my club prez ,they are on the way to me and as soon as i get them 1 will go out in the mail to you asap and its a go for clifford again next year hopefully adam will come and there are a few others a father and son's i met a my lhs that are in to the trucks also,with some luck we could end up with quite a few guys and trucks .we definetely have to figure out a better system for the road thing:eek: so we can all run all the time even at night

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
Thanks D
Heavy load you say?? How's about, 45 cans full of beer to be exact. 32 bottles :D:D in my backyard gravel road and no problem.......that's gotta be close to as much as your cattle hauler weight eh?:D The road issue for Clifford..... Any chance of getting a different area to run in? Maybe more gravel ish? You know what the real solution is.....kick everyone out of the food court, get rid of the tables and we got a huge concrete , sheltered area to run in all night long! Lol .... C'mon , you can make it happen :p Mario |
Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
Hi Mario,
You know that is a Wedico Conventional or Freightliner not the Peterbilt kit right? Do you have the Pro chassis or the standard? |

Oooops, sorry I just looked back in the thread and noticed I referred to it as a Pete.... My bad Mario |
Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
The Wedico is a future project on the shelf right now but I'd like to remove the sleeper and make a dump truck maybe or keep it original and just add a few details.....lower the stance... ( of course :p ) Not sure right now.

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
Well the weather has been a little better last few days, warmer and no rain . cant make it to St Louis :( so i figured, good time to officially start the rebuild of Susans rig. There is still enough decent weather to do all the metalwork ( cut and strech rails, install 5th wheel servo, fab up deck plate )
then i can do the wiring and detailing in the comfort of the house in the dead of winter.:eek: So the truck is all apart. First time tear down on this truck but my 4th time doing this to a truck....almost like reverse engineering...lol. heres a few pics of the work so far. Step one, upgrade powertrain with new motor, clean inspect and upgrade to bearings in transmission, and finish with a 4:1 GRU from PMD :D. Next is cut rails, add extensions and paint. Enjoy :) http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/...e/image-02.jpg http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/...e/image-01.jpg http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/...Pete/image.jpg http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/...e/image-03.jpg and yes, as per Steve's suggestion you will notice a space heater on the floor by the table :):) http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/...e/image-04.jpg thats it for now.... thanks for looking :):cool: mario |
Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
I really like those PMD reductions and now that they bolt on to the transmission they are very clean. The only draw back might be on a long rig you can use the older style for a reduction and a carrier bearing at the same time.
Have fun with your rebuild. How do you like the RC4WD trailer? |
