Ack! Ack-ack! Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I built ths one probably 15 years ago. Like all Ertl truck and trailer kits I know building was a pleasure. Everyting is box-stock, only the rear fenders appeared way too long to my eyes. Currently the kit seems to be OOP. My kit still had 11 standard tires. Later re-issues had two very wide front tires.

1959scudetto Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Much better with the shortened rear fenders - otherwise the mixer would have needed a third axle in the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chariots of Fire Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 That's a nice rig. I agree; you did right by the rear fenders. Makes it look like it should look. Great colors too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geez, I rented an apartment that had a smaller balcony. Since I saw no reply to your question I'll chime in. The reason for the large bumper is because this truck has a PTO that is driven from the front of the engine crankshaft. This PTO mounts in front of the radiator, between the frame rails.
