Oshkosh P-series

[Snochaser]

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

Moving slowly on this build too. I'm trying to get it right.









IHBuilder's fine work on the center adapters he made for me. Thanks Steve

Looks great Ben

[ihbuilder]

thats sweet Ben glad they worked out for you

[Snowman]

This truck kills it, will be so cool and a very unique model when finished.

[kyleandtavion]

Cool.... Are thOSS tires and axles from rc4wd

[Snochaser]

No. The tires are from AFV and the axles are modified TLT's.

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.

[SonoranWraith]

Ben,you are a shameless teaser.

[Brian in PA]

Ben, the truck looks great! It was nice to see the truck in person and to meet you at Indy.

Brian

[Snochaser]

Thanks guys! Brian it was nice to meet you too. I will post a few pictures in the coming days. I've completed some more body work.

Yes it was nice to meet you I finally got to see the skidder in person and that thing is one sweet machine and so is this truck very awsome

[Snochaser]

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.

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.

[Snochaser]

I never checked. I will contact him about building a custom one for me. Thanks for the offer.

[Dreamweaver]

This thing is lookin good Ben. Nice work on the body.

[Snochaser]

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

[ihbuilder]

looks pretty good Ben I'll get to those as soon as I get this batch of wheels done

[fhhhstix]

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?
