Default Hayes HD Dump Truck - Take II

The idea of this project has been in the works for a couple of years but I finally got the go ahead on it a few months back. There are two cabs being built at the moment but one is going to Lou and he will finish it as he sees fit. The other cab is where my first major customer build starts. I will be building a scale(ish) model of a 1959 Hayes HD that was bought new buy my customers father. The truck was replaced and sold off many, many years ago and was long thought to be lost. It was stumbled upon a few years ago and the original family bought it back. It is now being restored to original condition as a tribute truck to my customers father. I hope to do the mini version justice so that it can sit proudly next to it's 1:1 brother!

Here's what I built today...









Thanks for looking.

We all know the end result will be top notch, but in the meantime we can enjoy the pictures

Thanks guys. It's going to be a dump truck Wayne. It will look similar to the red one I built for myself but have a different box design, lift mechanism and color.

Here's a little update from yesterday. The cabs are all smoothed out and I'm ready to start building fenders!

Haha, I have no time to mess around...or do I spend all of my time messing around? I'm really not sure anymore...

Going to the Hayes plant would have been cool! Building this sort of stuff reminds me of when I was younger as well. Life was much less complicated back then that's for sure...

In the early 70's i made several trips to Hayes as my dad knew one of the big wigs there and i collected all sorts of things from caps, stickers, patches, brochures, even a tape measure. Sadly all im left with today is the hat and the tape measure. I bet nobodys ever seen an original Hayes tape measure. Those were good days .

I haven't devoted much time to this over the past couple of months but with a springtime completion date looming I have been putting around on it the last bit. I haven't made much progress but eventually I will get there with it. I started making some Budd wheels for it. I have a lot of machining left to do on these obviously but at least it's a start. I have spent a bit of time making jigs and dies so that if I want to make them again it's not such a pain. The wheels I made for my Hayes turned out OK but the dies sucked. Hopefully time spent now will pay off later down the road...

Yeah what he said!!! Did you make the dies from just regular laying around steel? Doing some real professional looking stuff!!! And I wish I would spend the time making better jigs and better drawings as it's made me realize one offs sometimes isn't enough !! Keep up the killer work bro!!!

Thanks guys. I am back in the shop today so hopefully I can make some more progress. RW, the dies are just 6061 alum. I made the original "punch" from IMPAX steel(stub left over from re-pinning my mini ex) but this time around I just used aluminum because I could machine it on my mini lathe. I think the aluminum will be OK as I don't plan to build a lot of these. If I were going into production though I would definitely make both sides from steel even if it wasn't IMPAX. I am still not 100% happy with the profile but I will wait to make my final decision on them until I finish the machining on one. I made end up changing the dies again and making new centers.

A tiny bit of progress after hours of work.lol There is a reason people that build and sell wheels have CNC machinery. I would say that I am about halfway on these wheels after two full days. Next up will be machining the beads(not the kind Mario uses) and then I will do some more work on the hubs to make them look more realistic. I have started making my own axle housings(Rockwell 4640) for this but I am unsure at this point if i will use them. Once I decide what I am doing with that I will either cross drill the hubs for a set screw and a blind axle hole or machine a hex into the back for the stock axles, drilling right through and using a cap on the hub.






Thanks for looking!
