phoenix2013 Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 You might get a kick out of this one, THE ORIGINAL ET. Good enough to do this from Cape Cod Massachusetts to southern New Hampshire on public roads (without any sort of a permit), over 100 miles. and repeated again three years later to the local airport for final assembly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sculptor Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 I might be in need of fenders soon. (Have not finalized the truck purchase yet ) Did you find them online or were they a one time deal?

Av8r3400 Posted May 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 These were kind of a barn find at the truck parts shop. They didn't know they had them or what they were, note the thick layer of dust.

I believe I must single the truck or get a CDL, so next I will need hitch and fenders. The bed will be later so I will need fenders now. Where are they located?

Av8r3400 Posted June 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 I'll try to remember to throw down a tape measure for the wheelbase. Stand by... Yes, Kevin, she drove very nicely. Went through a pretty good rainstorm with no ill handling effects. Tonight I got the fenders mounted and about 50% of the wiring done.

So whats the damn wheel base already, I have been waiting for 11 hours now We have different trucks but I am trying to figure out what my 179' WB will look like on my VNR 400 that is on order. I don't know if you have named the truck yet but for some reason "stubby" keeps coming to mind Just funnin....looks great!

Av8r3400 Posted June 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Tonight, no photo. I finished wiring the fenders and started on the Jackalopee. As a note to everyone who may do this type of project themselves, the wiring of the factory tail lights on the truck does not follow the "truck norm". The brake light and turn signals are combined instead of separated like the commercial trailer wiring. I had wired the fender lights expecting the harness to have separate turn and brake light signals. Oh, well. I just cross connected the brake and turn for each side. Now the two red lights on each fender show the same action.
