wiremonkey Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 I'd just like to start by saying it is great to find a site where "trucks" are in a forum without lowriders, etc. Man, you guys have excellent skills, and do impressive work, I almost feel embarased trying to pawn off pictures of my build next to your gems. This truck is my 3rd build (second tractor) since returning to the hobby after 15 years. It started as the re-release of the paystar dump. Truck design would be for heavy haul/oilfield hot-shot.

JdKustomModels Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 the truck is outrageously awesome but I have to ask.........what is the length of that boom fully extended? just from looking at it I am going to take a wild guess and say at least 24 inches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiremonkey Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 Thanks for all the great comments guys. Josh: What an eye you have for measurement!! The boom (when horizontal) is 25.25 inches from center of rotation to the hook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
