Re: Bob's M1070 (maybe)
They're hex drive. I measure 25mm wide, with 48mm at the point where the tire bead sits, and 52mm at the flange outside the tire bead. And, if you want them, I have eight of these wheels as spares,...

This is a pretty neat M1070 build from 2008, if you haven't seen it before.

Re: Bob's M1070 (maybe)

Re: Bob's M1070 (maybe)
Bob, my first chassis was 23" long. I tried mounting TLT axles on it, but they were too close together to allow the rear one to steer, and also too wide for the length of the chassis. I agree that...

Re: Aeromax Overhaul
That's a beautiful job on your rear axles setup. It looks like you are going to have a lot of articulation, and I would think that the stock dogbones are going to want to fall out. Are you looking...

I've always liked the look of the Ford Aeromax, but since they were only produced from 1988 to 1996, you don't see too many of them on the road anymore. When Sterling took over production in 1997,...
