Converting my dully to a 10 wheel drive to handle Toyhauler

Nice Project. I like. Keep us posted on your project.

Just some new pics. Desided to build my own bed.









As you can see. I got enough dimond plate off of fire truck to cover it all up. Gotta say the plasma cutter sure makes this job easyer.:)

There's a truck down the street that I need to post up here. Kind of a combination of both these trucks.

Please post it. Always looking for new ideas.

You didn't mention that you were stretching a Class 7, to make it an 8. Kinda the inverse of the projects I normally see on something that heavy.

What's the brakes on that one?

Does it have a multi stage engine brake?

What engine is in it?

ON EDIT' Never mind. I missed the transition on Page 11. This is a project that stands to be a real plus as a PULLER. Not sure other than the 'show', how/why you need the second axle though. That is a Most capable beast. lots of torque, plenty of brakes, etc. Sleeper is an excellent addition for use as a weekender (for a couple), not so much for the clan I'm afraid.

Good stuff. If I had false teeth, I'd have had to put them back when I enlarged the pic of the 'new' data plate. Ya got me!:B

By the way. Did you get the Blue Boy's driveline squared away? I probably missed that post.

No. Got to many projects going on. I was going down road about five days ago. And the center of fly wheel ripped out. So I am currently working on that also.

Thanks. Will do. Bought the exhaust today. It is gong to have chrome twin stacks coming up from behind sleeper.

Nice rig Scott. You singled or did you leave it tandem?

Now that I see your data plate.. Tell me again Why you are adding a 'tag'? :?:B

Thought you were building off a 1 ton Dodge. I missed the switch to the chassis, the above data plate shows.:?

You bored or does that number 'Too much time on my hands apply'? Just say'n.

You appear to have a 23,000# rear on that beast? You got air ride on it, YET?
