Tesla Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) Here’s my version of a KW C500 prime mover. I would like to thank Dave Rose (Swamp Dog) for all the pictures he took during his KW C500 oilfield rig build. The following items are from AITM: Kenworth C-500 conversion kit, Allison automatic, Mack 80,000 lb. hard bar suspension, 14 X 24 tires w/Rockwell planetary rear hubs. Misc. parts: CAT 3406 from a Revell snap kit, Plastruct C-14 ABS channel for the frame.

Tesla Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 Man this thing is SUH-WEEEET! Any plans for a trailer? Really, really nice...!!! Thanks Jeff. The trailer will be a 125 ton Rogers unit. Right now I'm working on a Bruder bulldozer and converting it to a D11 to use as the load. Here's the link for that project: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=97889 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
