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

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

Re: Oshkosh P-series
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.

Re: Oshkosh P-series

Re: Oshkosh P-series
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.

Re: Oshkosh P-series
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.

Re: Oshkosh P-series
I never checked. I will contact him about building a custom one for me. Thanks for the offer.

Re: Oshkosh P-series
This thing is lookin good Ben. Nice work on the body.

Re: Oshkosh P-series
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). http://i928.photobucket.com/albums/a...r/P9180869.jpg http://i928.photobucket.com/albums/a...r/P9180870.jpg http://i928.photobucket.com/albums/a...r/P9180871.jpg http://i928.photobucket.com/albums/a...r/P9180872.jpg http://i928.photobucket.com/albums/a...r/P9180873.jpg http://i928.photobucket.com/albums/a...r/P9180874.jpg http://i928.photobucket.com/albums/a...r/P9180875.jpg http://i928.photobucket.com/albums/a...r/P9180876.jpg Still a bunch of stuff to do, thanks for looking.
