That is a great start Freddy and I can't wait to see the truck that is going to pull it.

Looks like one of the scrap pups at work except yours doesn't have cutting oil and steel borings all over and you can't see through the sides, . Oh and don't forget the wobbly Daytons, LOL.

Great start Fred!

Thanks Guys!
Logger,there both gunna have screw drives.
Sorry no pics of progress till I git my camera looked at.This is the second one I wore out.You'de think a $600.dollor camera would be good for more than 7500 pics,then again be'n in my shop w/alum chips fly'in all over might have some play on there life span.
Hopefully today I'll be up & shootin again. But trailer is almost done! Now I can start on the monster dump that's gunna pull this cow around the job site. Man,I'm gunna really have to stuff this baby full of battery packs to feed these two screw drives.
Here's a pic of what I'm out to copy.(I HOPE!)

Thats some serious dirt moving there.We dont have that sort of truck and trailer combo around here wonder why? My guess its a weight issue pretty cool. I live in Maryland.

Yea Man!I can't wait to see this beast done also!
Hey Tc1,you don't miss a trick,this one is only gunna have 3 axles in the rear & if it's only rear drive,none of them will lift.can't quit figure out if it's worth it to keep lift axle from spinnin when lifted. I can see that gittin into somethin. When this babies full of dirt,kinda want as much of the motor gittin to the ground via axles as possible.
Well back in the pics again!














A few more parts to hang on this baby,& she's good to go!
Now,the truck!
So what would you do? 8x8 or 8x6 w/lift axle?
Guys,thanks for the comments & complements!

What no ribs on the trailer sides?? Your slippin' Freddy You need an 8X8 with at least 1 lift axle! I have an idea for a powered lift axle. Would need a seperate driveshaft for it but it should work.
