Mopar - D Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Here is my Dodge Big Horn dump truck. The cab is from Frontier Resin Design and I use the newly issued Revell KW dump truck for the frame and dump body. I replaced the Cat diesel with a Cummins NTC -350. I used Model Masters Chrysler Yellow and high gloss clear coat. This is my first time to use Alclad II for the front grill and bumper. Your comments are more than welcome as I'm always looking to make a better build. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopar - D Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 I'm still deciding on what to name my dirt hauling company so there's the reason for no names on the side yet as you can see this is the second rig of many more to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopar - D Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 Thanks for your comments guys it was a fun build with it going together with very little problem being that it was a resin cab. One thing that I had to do was change out the quad head lights to make it stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badluck 13 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Hey Dan great looking vintage Mopar,like the color scheme and very nice finish on the dump body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dptydawg Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 sharp looking truck, Dan. Those big Horns were a tough truck in their day. For some reason though they were not very popular with fleet owners. I like the display base that you have. carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBad Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Better get that dump body down before you get of that street corner... Very nice truck you have there! Quite an unusual subject. Nicely done, i like the ram horns on the hood! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72 Charger Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Hey Dan I think your bighorn is great where can I get one Ive never heard of frontier resin design how much was the cab/hood and did it come with an interear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopar - D Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 Dave, they are on eBay for $ 65 and yes it comes with the interior. The only thing is that it comes with 4 head lights instead of the 2 that were on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danno Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Very nice build, Dan. Just one thing that sticks out like a sore thumb, though. You should do something to eliminate those nasty mold separation lines on the fronts of the air horns; either drill out the fronts and taper them like horn bells, or attach flat discs to replicate covers. Just a suggestion, as the mold lines make the air horns look toyish and detract from the otherwise excellent appearance of your truck.
