Trunnion bar underneath has bolt on caps underneath, so depending on what you're trying to accomplish you probably have a few options. You could unbolts the trunnion bar caps and lift the truck off the suspension/tears. Whatever you're thinking it requires lots of room and big toys to get this job done, everything is heavy!!! JoeH,doing it your way the a frames as I call them will stay attached to the frame rails,my way the a frames stay attached to the rears.I’m thinking it may be easier my way. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74779-separate-the-frame-and-bogies/page/2/#findComment-562428 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Mack Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago I Have never done the A-Frame in the model truck that you have. But have pulled a couple dozen of the later style. I would remove the cross members, bump stops and any small bolt ons like air valves and such to create a smooth inner frame rail. I would have the truck frame on stands of course at a level where the springs were somewhat relaxed, tires on the ground. have a couple long 1x4's to put under the wheels in the case the A-Frame drags on the lower frame flange. Then spread the frame with a porta-power. I would even spray the inner rails with penatrating oil to get a little help rolling out. of course in your case, you may not want any oils on the frame.. Impressive effort on your part, to get a quality paint job..
