RCP57's first King...

[tracksntreadslou]

Reg you just may have to hand over that King to your PA..He did a nice job on the lift ..I think he may just like your hobby too..

Awwwh , now I want one!

Looks great Reg, I like how it clears the 5th wheel and yet the distance between the deck and tires is perfect, not too high.
Not sure the proper name for it but I think you need to add the thin side rails to attach chains and load binders to?

You do this stuff so well and so fast, it only makes sense you should share with the rest of us

Thanks Reg

Reg that looks great.. Would it be much work to put a frame under it so it would sit on right on a truck frame??

Haha I think you're right Lou, He cut the "lumber" and I cut the teeny strips and bundled it up. We both thought it was good marketing if the deck came with a load.

Well build another truck Mario! I'm not sure if anyone would even care that it clears the fifth wheel but I thought it would make it useful for someone with a day cab that normally tows a trailer...Drop it on, tighten a couple screws and you have a flat deck!...reverse and you have your tractor back...maybe it seems handier than it really is. Doesn't PMD offer proper scale ratchets for the decks? I swear I have seen them somewhere...

Thanks Ben, It's a challenge trying to come up with something different that people will actually want to buy and then trying to make it for a price they want to pay but it's kinda fun.

Thanks Stu! I am excited about the Vendors spot and hope that I can build some things for people that they otherwise wouldn't have.

Oh that's great Wayne! I guess the post office didn't lie to us this time!lol Thanks for the business too!

[RCP57]

I added the other piece to the rear of the deck just now...

Here, you can see what the deck looks like with the mounting screws...

[flatdeck]

Reg. Just my two cents if the deck hangs over that far you will need to put some sort of light is it.. really like the deck.. Just a thought..

I agree Wayne. I need to buy some bezels from someone so that I know what size holes to drill. If someone wanted to buy one of these I would drill the holes so that they could buy lights from one of the other Vendors and install them.

[Stuart]

Very clever & well thought out. Big Thumbs up!

As for the bezels, 13/64ths for the 3mm & 5/16ths for the 5mm (on True scale website)

Could you make some ally tool boxes? would love some for my spread axle, depending on cost & shipping to France of course!

Thanks Stu. I checked their website this morning and got the measurements but thanks for letting me know.

I would be interested in seeing what you want as far as the toolboxes. Maybe we can figure something out that makes us both happy.

[Stuart]

No worries, I will have a measure up re the tool boxes and let you know.

I made up these little D rings today for tie downs on the deck. I think it is almost ready for a coat of black and some stain.

[flatdeck]

Reg. I would hate to see you paint that. The natural aluminum look great..
