Popular Post umodelnut Posted May 18, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2013 I know someone said they hadn't seen pictures of my U model in awhile so here are some. Some taken a few weeks ago and some taken a couple weeks ago. Will be going to Nana and Papa's next weekend so hopefully more pictures to come that weekend. By the way sorry if they're upside down. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31222-requested-u-model-pictures/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
2stacksuperdog Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 That fifth wheel in place already? Quote Matt Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31222-requested-u-model-pictures/#findComment-183909 Share on other sites More sharing options...
umodelnut Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 Yeah I have to clean it up and paint it though. The fenders are just sitting on the rear wheels until the wind blew one off so I took them off and set them under the frame.

2stacksuperdog Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Oh i was just wondering because with the 5th wheel behind the axle you'll be pooping wheelies pulling a trailer.

umodelnut Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 It's not behind the axle it's right over top of it. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31222-requested-u-model-pictures/#findComment-183915 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddog13407 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Center line of the 5th wheel should be about 6'' ahead of the center line of the axle Vinster to put some weight on the front wheels 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31222-requested-u-model-pictures/#findComment-184040 Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomastractorsvc Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Looking Good Vinny, you need to spend more time out at your Grand Parents working on your truck.
