Pullin Gears Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) Introducing my latest labor of love, "Big Red." Started life as a two-wheel drive gas truck, until I got a hold of it! The list of modifications and scratch-built items is pretty long, but I'll do my best to sum it up: Front grill modified to fit custom bumper Front bumper built with evergreen flat stock and diamond plate Craft wire tow hooks Tow-mirrors Lift kit components including all brackets, leaf spring mounts, steering stablizer, shocks and mounts Transfer case mount and crosmember Front and rear "Dana 80 Axles" with breathers Driveshafts Cummins engine swap (Diecast crane donor) Engine/transmission mounts 5 inch turbo back exhaust with 10 inch miter cut stack Cold air kit Exhaust heat shields Windshield banner Tint Body color rear bumper Camo headliner Color matched interior accents Pintle hitch (parts box) with scratch built mount Train horns Tires from SoReal Concepts painted black with added valve stems Edited February 8, 2014 by Pullin Gears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plasticdrag Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 That is awesome! Looks like one of those "mudder" trucks they build in the South. I'm loving all the scratch built parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pullin Gears Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 Thanks for the compliments everyone!!! Rusty- Let me know when you start casting them and if you are going to sell any!

James2 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Very nice model with realistic details, the airhorn is a nice touch. The only bad thing, I can't see the window stickers because of the stack! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
