Justin's "Ford F-350 Flatbed" Crawling Hauler...
 I have been wanting to make a hauler for while. My inspiration was Microgoat's Rollback tow truck and Freddy Gear Drive's F350 Dually. Body... Axial Axles...
Wheels & Tires... Drive train...Specs...

Re: Justin's "Ford F-350 Flatbed" Crawling Hauler...
The body is sitting a bit high, will try to be lowering it about .5".
 I will be using RC4WD seats.  Not sure if I will be running the Tamiya Semi gas tanks but they look pretty cool.    Make some leaf spring mounts out of steel, seems to do the job.   Rear axle, might be adding two more helper springs....my scalers are pretty heavy.  I also might be doing a sway bar setup on the rear axle, need to test drive it first before I do that.  Close up shot of the sick RC4WD double trouble wheels.  Rear wheels.

Re: Justin's "Ford F-350 Flatbed" Crawling Hauler...
Got a bit more work done. Funny thing, after running no mirrors on my scalers, it was kinda fun putting them on this truck.
 Filled in the back of the cab, now for some bondo. Also dropped the cab about .3".  Got some F-350 emblems from RC4WD, dang there pretty sweet. http://store.rc4wd.com/F350-Highlift...et_p_1408.html  Got part of the floor done.  The cab mounts to the pieces of delrin.  Under shot of the RC4WD R2.  Shot of the drive line setup.

Re: Justin's "Ford F-350 Flatbed" Crawling Hauler...
Picked up a super long driveshaft setup from gardentrucking.com
 Swapped in a Dinky RC hilux interior for the seats and took my Ford dash out of my F-350 Truggy.  I wanted it a little stiffer in the rear so I put some shocks in. There some old tamiya TT01 shocks with SCX10 spirngs.  Started the bed and headache rack.  The styrene was just for testing, still need to pick up some more .5"x.15" wood from the hobby shop.   Don't mind the tamiya semi bumper, I will be making a beefy metal bumper later.
