I couldn't help noticing the blueprints you have on the chassis. Did you create them or are these available somewhere online? I'm starting my first build and could really use a set of these. Going to be getting a Knight Hauler and considering modifying some of the stock parts. Looking forward to seeing more pics of your project.

Yes I drew up the plans. Due to health reasons I have not made much progress on the build.

This is an awesome build. I don't really check the military section of this forum much, but I will now. I have to hand it to you, Car, you've got the skills, patience, and eye for the details. Everything you've made so far looks perfect. Incredible, when you say you are working with minimal power and hand tools. I'll be watching for updates.

Sorry about being gone so long guy's.

Had a bout with Cancer and have been in remission for about 9 months. I lost the internet due to unexpected expenses, and that all worked out. Last summer I was trying to continue the build. I ran into to many problems with the drive train that I made. Alignment issues were the biggest problem.

So I decided to rebuild using wood in 1/14th scale.
Re-scaled the drawings and commenced to building. Some minor changes were needed, but since I had all the parts for the 1/14th scale build. I started the woodworking. I used the Carve wright to make many of the cab panels (this machine is not recommended) I built the tractor and trailer with Walnut, Maple, Holly, redwood and Osage orange.

This was the following result. Sorry I forgot to take the progress pictures you all like to see.

The tractor used a RC4 wd 2 speed trans. Provided a good scale speed in low gear. The trailer was also made of wood Aluminum for the suspension parts. Brass tubing wias used for shocks and Goose neck cylinders.

The Truck came out really nice and was auctioned off for a children's benefit.
Before you ask, the truck brought in 2200.00 for the kids.

Thanks for looking.

Thanks, glad you like the truck. The trailer steering was the hardest part to figure out. The Rear 8 axles are steering in proportion to their position.
