As some of you may know I started to build the replica of my fathers 2006 Long Nose Pete 379 with a UniBuilt sleeper. During this build I was also finishing up my Fontaine Flatbed and in doing so I got tired of spending so much money on stock suspension and trailer axles soooooo....... I decided to design my own.... I have successfully turned my prototype bearing-less axles into a working reality along with my custom Air-Ride to give it a more realistic look for my rigs and trailers. So heres what ive done so far on both ends...
prototype ![]() ![]() ![]() I designed it so you could use all of the stock holes and just add a few, I also designed the air ride to be interchangeable with my axles and Tamiyas Axle along with the Truck axles. ![]() My axles next to Tamiyas ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() My Air Ride also uses the spring and rod for flexibility ![]() Then I also fell In Love with the Semi Lifts I saw at the Mack Museum this was fall so I decided to make my own version... ![]() after lots of tail and error and a mix of styrene, aluminum, and brass, i came up with these bad boys capable of holding the weight... ![]() ![]() ![]() here they are holding the Pete, custom frame drilled for my air ride cut to scale measurements of my fathers truck ![]() axle moved forward, stock king hauler body before chopping and screwing ![]() ![]() ![]() my air ride setup on the tamiya axles ![]() ![]() ![]() This was before I had developed My own Bags and was using PMD's Air Bags ![]() ![]() Thanks for Looking Guys you already know there is more to come... slowly but surely due to my accident the other day... ![]() |
