Re: Oshkosh P-series
Thanks guys. I am trying to figure out how to work all the steering around the suspension and drive-line components.

Re: Oshkosh P-series
I was finally able to operate the P-series tonight, low n' slow and high gear is just right. The crab steer is pretty sweet too, it'll turn a tight corner. I still need a drive shaft for the rear end to get all six wheels "pulling". I've got a nice custom grill now. Fab'd up a battery box, steps, fuel tank and worked in some air tanks from Brian. It's coming along good.

Re: Oshkosh P-series
I worked on some door and hood lines last night and today. Previously I massaged the hood to work with the new grill from HeavyMetal, he did a really, really, really nice job! I tried my hand at the battery box, steps and fuel tank. I mounted some air tank blanks under the battery box that I got from Brian in PA, sanded them a little and counter-sunk some screws.
I hope to fit one of Freddy's boxes on here, I set it next to Izzy's Mack to get an idea of how it may look. Ben Last edited by Snochaser; 08-22-2011 at 06:36 PM. |

Re: Oshkosh P-series
Did that dealer at indy ever bring in the wider v-plow? He did not bring any of the cummins engines on Sunday. If u need a test site or want to run some equipment in the future pm me. It awesome to meet another hobbyist close to me.

Re: Oshkosh P-series
I have made a bit more progress: tried my own dump bed, magnetic tailgate "hold", steps on the fuel tanks, diamond plate on the battery box, reworked some body/door seams ect and cab lights.
I need to redo my screw drive, it's a bit whopper jawed, not near as nice as what I want it to be. I am anxious (but patient) to get my custom parts that I have ordered from a few fine gentleman here (they will help set it off nicely). Still a bunch of stuff to do, thanks for looking. Ben

Re: Oshkosh P-series
Ben the bed looks great and I really like your tail gate latch. Now that you are getting close to being done what will be next?
