Default Re: Another Structo Dump Truck Conversion

Dump Truck Conversion Take Two!

Got myself a donor with solid diff/axels and started over on the dump truck.

Here are the leaf springs and shackle so far. Leaves are made from steel strap and shackle parts are plastic chain links and aluminum channel.

Springs are about 3.5" eyes, might change once I get further into it and see how it sits.


Planning to use brass tube for the pivots


One shackle...


Stay tuned....

Jim
