f-350 scx10ii build (picture heavy)

Still have no idea how to start the fender tubs in the bed. Hence why I have yet to cut out the inner bed sides... Can't find anything 3d printed nor any good pictures

That bed should be pretty standard.

I mean like scratch built tubs. I'm trying to with some styrene, but I'm not sure not to get flat stock to conform to a curve

Just received these badass 3d printed arms and mounts from gsgrabber92. They look great. Gonna mount them up tonight and see how I like them

First mock up. A few things will need to be changed. But great start.. minor things to change.

Ordered my custom one off frame extension. As long as this is all correct I will be cutting off the steel extensions and use this. Due to this having better leaf spring mounts and adjustability..

Got my 3d printed extension in and installed. Haven't bolted in in yet. So I can dial in the wheel base...

With the trailing arms, you should not need upper links, except a panhard bar. They locate the pinion angle for you.

I know those were just in there cause I didn't take them out before i took the picture. I have to build me a panhard bar. And get another shock tower with the mount.

So I test fit the new bed I'm building with the chassis and cab. Found out the bed is wider than the cab. IDK how that happened but IDK if I should scrap that bed or narrow it up. Probably about 5mm to wide

Here's a picture of the 2 beds. The white bed is wider. I'm not sure if I wanna spend the money on another body set $25 and .080 styrene $15 and another parts tree that has a tailgate $10.. also noticed that the bed is too wide for the bumper also... Maybe I will just use the white bed for mock up purpose of other parts(if I need to cut or modify in some way)

Not much progress on the rig since lack of funds, and kids. Waiting on a couple of 3d printed parts... Still trying to figure out how I'm gonna mount the rear part of the cab. Front will use stock style mounts with maybe magnets. Still a very long way to go....

Got another revision to the front arms and mounts. And got the rear bumper bracket. Had to take a 13/64 drill bill and open the hold on the frame side slightly. But fit perfectly after. Mounts up nice. Gonna test fit the bed and see how they line up..

Got bed sitting on it's mounts. I'm super happy with how perfect the bumper mount center out. Maybe adjust bed up very slightly and bumper back a hair....

Ya I really like the body to. I'm debating on buying another f350 body and building a f350 super crawler(Google it)...... This project is taking forever and I still have no electronics or drivetrain.

The super crawler is sweet!!

Damn your f350 is coming along pretty good. Mine has been ground to a hault waiting on an estimate and parts to be made

Thanks. Very slow progress. But it's coming. Next up I'm gonna get axle internals so I can put it on some wheels/tires...

Couple bed/bumper mock up pics. Seeing if I need to trim the fender lines at all...tires are stock 1.9 wheels with 4.7 tires. Thinking maybe a 4.3 or even a 4.19 tall tire might look better..still not sure how I'm gonna make wheel well tubs ...
