Love those old school rigs. Nothing better

Re: Hayes HD Dump Truck - Take II
 

I marvel at these works here. fantastic!

Re: Hayes HD Dump Truck - Take II
 

Thank you guys.

Well I can't believe it's been well over a month again since I've worked on this. I'm slowly getting caught up on other stuff and once I do I plan to focus all of my efforts on this truck until it's done.

I did get a little done yesterday and today though as it finally steers! Much more work to do now that I know it works!

Terrific build project.

Re: Hayes HD Dump Truck - Take II
 

Hey Reg do u ever sleeplol you building trailers Hayes's and other stuff i mean there is no way you get sleep lol

Re: Hayes HD Dump Truck - Take II
 

looks great though. Now get some ZZZZZ's

Re: Hayes HD Dump Truck - Take II
 

Thanks Bobby.

Haha, I do sleep but there has been very little time for anything else in my life that's for sure. I keep pushing this truck to the side so that I can take on more trailer and dump box builds for guys on here but I need to stop doing that and just finish this! My friend has been waiting ever so patiently for this to be finished! Mark thinks he had to wait a long time... pfff, this guy has been waiting over a year and all he has is a front end!:rolleyes:

Re: Hayes HD Dump Truck - Take II
 

Great job Reg you keep getting better and better with your builds and have a lot of realism with the parts. Keep up the good work. Ed

Re: Hayes HD Dump Truck - Take II
 

Reg,

You made the wheels and what are you using for tires? It ALL looks nice! ;)

Re: Hayes HD Dump Truck - Take II

That's what she said...

Re: Hayes HD Dump Truck - Take II
 

Well two months have gone by again since the last time I worked on this. I had cut the leaf springs months ago and had most of the machining done on the trunnion thingy so I thought I should start putting it all together. In an effort to make the springs look thicker I sheared some styrene to the same width as the springs and glued it on. I then made up the U bolts and threaded the ends for 2-56 nuts. Once painted I think this will look pretty good. For now it reminds me of an Oreo cookie.lol I also finally bolted the front fenders on using 0-80 bolts.

Re: Hayes HD Dump Truck - Take II
 

The real truck has the frame gusseted in the middle to support the twin, triple stage hydraulic cylinders. I machined some gussets up for the toy today and have them temporarily held in place.
