Hayes HD dump truck...RCP's style

[RCP57]

Well I spent the whole day working on the wheels today. I made some modifications to my dies this morning and tried some different setups in the mill. Anyway, long story short I think I have a wheel that I am happy with for the truck. It always seems like the hard part is setting up for the job. Once you get all the tooling sorted out you have no excuse to use it anymore! Oh well...

Here's a few pictures of the parts and the assembled wheels. I ordered some 1/8 nuts as suggested so once they get here I will button it all up!













I still have some caps to make and some machining on the rear hubs left to do.

Let me know what you think of the wheels.

Thanks for looking

Man this is sweet Reg! Every now and then a biuld like this comes along and just leaves my speechless. Your scratch biulding skills are unbelievable.
