Looking Good, If you decide to swap out the rear axle, this an idea to take a gander at.

That would work....if it was a bit smaller or if this truck was a bit bigger...LOL

Looking good man! I can see that it won't be long now and it will be running! I also know from experience that it sucks to have a truck without a loader so something tells me that the loader will be started pretty soon!

That's a good find Neil. I've never seen one that is that small. Too bad there isn't a place like that in Canada to buy from.

( Hey man.... I told you not to tell anyone !!!!..... LOL....I will add more soon....)

Cut new plates for the rear swing arms to limit the down travel and avoid pulling the rear suspension cylinders apart everytime I picked it up.....needed to do this a long time ago....

Great job on the 777 lot of nice ideas and it also helps to have a water jet close at hand. You have put some great thought into this build and it shows. I would like to do one to match my 1/12 scale excavator with some changer to what you did. Keep up the good work you have a talent. Ed
