A new project takes shape...custom dodge flatbed.

[monsterhunter]

well my dodge dakota project, canceled due to severe body damage, im now going to take that chassis and rework it to take this custom set up.
less talk more pics here they are as every thing stands.


the cab.

the front end of chassis.


and the back half mounted but needs more support.

yay for hick trucks! this hits home for me haha. cant wait to see it done

[outlaw]

I had one when I was 16, green cab and a black flat bed. Yep! Bigtime redneck! It was the fastest truck in my town though!!!!!

Niice. Don't see too many custom custom trucks.

[greenday]

The one thing good about diesel, when you see someone you don't care for, you can flood them with rich, luxurious, black smoke.lol, haha,this should e a very cool project...but if it's going to fit it around my place, it has to have a gooseneck ball and a trailer full of livestock. lol, very cool so far.

[monsterhunter]

thanks guys, this is one fun project, right now i have pics of the ghetto rigged chassis as it sits now,the plexyglass chassis kept breaking soo, as i got annoyed i rigged something up for now to mock everything up, and it works rolls straight and everything, even full articulation!!. here it is.





and sadly i can do no more besides start to mount the front of the cab to where i want it and start on the electronics, due to my last truck rear clip breaking

[kendallcschm]

this is a cool project... lol i wanna see this one when its done...

[outlaw]

yep. can't wait. cool project

[TripleXmodder(akaXXX)]

Yeah, plexi-glass is to brittle to use as a chassis. Try to find somthing somthing better. I like it looks like alot of fun. (Try the plasic from the clear Xmod boxs)

[GearHeadV8]

[okoye]

its missing something oh i know its lacking awesomosity

yea thanks, i think ill try that out, maybe itll hold up better.

crazyxmoder how did you make the duallys....... is that a piece of wood lol...and whats with half a board cover lol

dualies where easy glues tires together. and the half board cover is to hold the chassis in place....for now.

[lilxflip]

thats long

[monsterhunter]

ha yea it is, its actually longer then the chassis too! as seen in THE UPDATES :lol sorry for the bad quality blurry pics.









AND with the rams!

[monsterhunter]

yay every things mocked up and working just fine, get all the pictures done with, and then bam the front end falls apart again, and the trailer hitch breaks off. going to fix that soon enough. but heres how it did look, before it fell apart.



rear wheels are now singles no more dullies, kept rubbing the bed.

[greenday]

STACKS! STACKS! lol needs khrome exhaust stacks. very nice, doesn't seem to squat too drastically when loaded...did the cars you had on there have batts in them? You might want to make some loops on the bed so you can use chains/mini bungee cords to stabilize/ strap down your load. ratchet straps would be even better but i think you'll have a pretty hard time finding straps tht small.

[monsterhunter]

yea i need to find some stacks for this thing, deff next one my list. the cars i had on it did have batteries and it didnt really squat that much, it was the fact with the dullies that the outer wheel would hit the bed, so i went back to a single and it works realy good, next on the list is to get everything back together, electronics and of course the stacks, and paint, forgot about that.

[kendallcschm]

im starting to like this project more and more... stacks would be sweet....

[monsterhunter]

yay more updates for this sucker, chassis done and mounted board in the truck, next stack FETs and wire her up and paint, then its done! woot!
so new stuff new tires, yea thats about it.(i apologize for bad pic quality)








and i also have to thank XXX for the idea to use the XMODs box for the chassis.

Looking better and better man, keep it up.
