And instead of varying the speed of the motor the foot pedal operates a clutch.

I have that same sewing machine.

A3 electric wipers are a huge improvement over air wipers. You should like them.

Yes, we or rather Mark built a bracket over the chunk. The panhard bar is on the top. The shock mounts are o.e.m freightliner. As are the shocks. Tbe frieghtliner system needs even weight distribution for the chassis to sit level. Since the batteries and fuel tank are on the passenger side...

Thank you dip. The suspension is from a freightliner tandem and yes it is capable of 18,000 plus pounds. We used everything except the bags. We needed shorter ones. The panhard bar had to be shortened a bit also. The springs, mounts, shocks, etc. are right off the junker truck. Mark has...

These are the only pictures I have at the moment that show the suspension. Truely amazing how well this system rides. Even before we put the 105 bed on it rode pretty comfortably.

No I wish I did. Me and mark both broke our phones before I put a thread up about the truck. So alls I posted was a few completed photos. I think I have a few photos of the freightliner suspension we used.

Thats probably more than a 105 bed honestly.

With a trailer and a load 5 ton springs might not be horrible. Once you go bobtail its gonna be a whole different animal. With no weight on the rear end it will ride like a brick and the rear axle will bounce badly when going over bumps. I'll admit after building a bobber with full air ride...

Well if you want your kidneys beat to death then yes they would work. If you wanted to go with leaf springs then I would think the leaves off of a civy 2-3 ton truck with overload springs would be the way to go. The ride without a load will still be pretty rough with no weight on the back...

I would agree. Stiffer springs would beat you to death without a trailer.
