Thanks man, the blade is patterned after a real 9' fisher this was an actual truck I used to own,I took measurements and built it from evergreen plastic,and the moldboard skin is a piece of aluminum coke can....

cam Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I like it, when I did my plow truck I had to give up on the soda can, I couldn't get any glue to stick to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks ,I know what you mean,I had to build the whole frame then clamp it and pray,next one i'm usig all plastic,I have a set of those rims on the old mpc dodge powerwagon like you used on your ford{outstanding by the way}but I have never been satisfied with the tires and wheels on mine, do you know of any tires like the old 7.50-16,s on early 70's fords?

Todd No I don't, I cut the centers out of the dodge rims, and the rings off of a set of monogram jeep rims, and glued them up. American satco used to make a tire they called a one ton tire, it fit monogram rims and was a lot narrower and about the same hight as the wranglers. I hope this helps.
