snow truck
 
i am going to make a snow plow truck. nothing fancy i am using a f150 body,and i am using my snow plow tut and i added some small touches to it. the paint is a amazing fancy stock blue that came with the truck.(for those that dont get it. its the stock paint job).. the chassis is all stock except for a spell armature that i got from a certain source..... however it does not have the torque i want. so i am gonna locate a radline motor. well ima shut up and take some pics.

any comments are welcome. i am hoping to have a vid up once it snows. if anyone wants a tut on how to make the duallys without cutting up any wheels let me know.

stang_racer 11-02-2008 02:52 PM

ok well i know that i dont know how it works but skinnier tires are better in the snow so you might wannd take the duallys off atleast

GearHeadV8 11-02-2008 02:54 PM

well i put the duallys on so it wont sink in the snow. but now that is making me think. hmmm. thanks for that input. ima leave on the duallys drive around in snow. then ill put on the skinny tires and do a comparison. now im thinking about how that could be.

thanks,CX

nitemeer 11-02-2008 02:55 PM

super glued duallys or? lol

GearHeadV8 11-02-2008 02:56 PM

no glue at all.... do you want me to make a tut for the tires.

stang_racer 11-02-2008 03:07 PM

plus witht hat bald left rear too might not work the way your expecting

SPR 11-02-2008 03:10 PM

the dullys on this i think will work great in the snow. the trucks looks awesome, very nice snow plow!

the only suggestion i wanna make, is how about trying to make some fenders for those dullys :)

@stang thats why it is the inner one.

@spr thank man. i like how it looks nice but with only 2 simple mods. the duallys i like cause i made a set when i got my first set of offroad tires(the bald ones in rear) and i liked the idea. so i use it sometimes. i am probably gonna make a fender on a spare set of side skirts. that way when i take off the duallys i can just put on the other set...


Also i am in need of a long truck drive shaft. mine got bent some how. so it is jamming. so if anyone would like to donate a extra on laying around please pm me please

SPR 11-02-2008 03:18 PM

i got one for ya.

anyway you can send me a 1.39 to cover the shipping charges?

GearHeadV8 11-02-2008 03:39 PM

thanks so much spr... side note is there a way to make a functional light bar. like does anyone know how it is done

SPR 11-02-2008 05:41 PM

im sure someone could do it, it wouldnt be to hard with some led's, wire and hot glue, its just getting the right light bar to be able to modify.
