Thanks Cushman, the truck has gone through a lot of changes since that photo and has more changes to come.


One thing I forgot to mention though, if your using the Osswald front suspension you will need to drill two holes in each frame rail.

Hi Claus,
Thanks for the info re the front spings. The front wheels you have are they Wedico wide wheels ?
Regards Cushman.

Yes they are, Wedico wheels front and rear. I'm going to be buying three Scale Art rear 3:1 locking diffs, I may also be adding a Scale Art 3:1 front locking diff, building my truck into either 6X8 or an 8X8, I'm not sure if the Wedico wheels and the Scale Art axles are compatible, I may have to go with Scale Art wheels and I really don't want to. I currently have Ruest axles and they will not accept the Wedico wheels without modifying the Ruest axle nuts. There is simply not enough room inside the Wedico hubs to get a tool in there to tighten the axle nuts.
