I've been puttering around with the 7 up trucks I received ( Thanks Smitty)... The possibilities are limitless. I wish I had brought more parts stuff with me. So many ideas.... Once that horrible plastic base is removed the casting is AWESOME!!!! 

Trust me folks.... You NEED some of these things!!

Hold that horrible base on the outer front with a finger and thumb, [same for the horrible rear later], gently pry the horrible front down, you will see the horrible rectangular axle block lift, slide the horrible axle out... if you cut longer wheel clearance into the horrible running board area you can put bigger FTEs right back in... the 7up's horrible  plastic base is brittle so be careful... 

....  sent my horrible bases to Hole Shot for his MAD MAX stuff...
