Another one for no particular reason. I had too many solid axles, so I decided to replicate Ford's infamous Twin Traction Beam, using TLT axles.

It took quite a lot of fooling to get right, and even now the right-hand dogbone falls out from time to time. But it's the first time I've seen it done or even attempted, so that has to count for something. The rest of the chassis is fairly straightforward. Aluminum C-channel, Pede transmission, leaf springs in the rear.

Of course I had to use a Blackfoot body.
