Hammer Down Trucker's HET M1000 like Trailer
Well with the truck goes the trailer so here goes the hacking of 2 new bruder drop decks and turning them into a sort of HET looking trailer to haul are tank with.. So 2 new trailer.. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy/009-35.jpg First 2 cuts the tape gives me a stright line to follow.. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy/010-31.jpg WALA http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy/011-27.jpg Next onto the 2nd trailer one cut. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy/012-24.jpg Then one more to shorten the deck. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy/013-18.jpg Then all 3 back together but I have to reconnect the bracing still but here is how it looks. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy/014-18.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy/015-18.jpg Now since the truck is a 1 5/8 taller than a stock semi I need to make a new neck for the trailer. I am going with the set up the HET M1000 has with a bending point at the front of the trailer that the neck hooks too. Also the neck will be made out of 1/2 plastic sheet.. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy/017-14.jpg More tomorrow if I get a new band saw blade :mad: Thanks Much for looking.. |

Looks good so far :cool:, are you going to make the wheels steerable?
If you need a drawing of the goose neck send me a pm. Carl |

Paul what is the drive train in this truck like? Are you going to be re powering it? Would be a good rig to put those brass helical gears in.

Thanks Much guys for the great comments..
Claus I am not a big fan of them Brass gears I have them in my oil field truck they are a pain in the arse to get set up and then they still shift hard and they are noise and I have a ton of good old JD black grease in there that helped it to shift better and got rid of some of the noise but not enuff. I have one more tranny built with them and I have not used it yet just not real happy with them.. We are running a stock trans with a Wheely King T-case.. |

What a great idea for a project! Too bad I already spent $300.00 on a new controller to return to racing or I would have jumped on a truck with this in mind.
Can't wait to see more! ~ Jeff |
