DRIPTROIT 71 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I picked up the old Ertl dump truck kit recently. I've always liked these kits since I was a kid. I just started on the engine which is a 6v-92 Detroit from Auslowe with a few modifications Including some modified valve covers from KJ at Double Take. This one will have a lift axle from Gary Wallace and wheels and tires from Jamie at moluminum. Here is the engine so far: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincen47 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I like what you’ve done with the classic IH Red Detroit, especially the rust texture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam I Am Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 First, looking great Brian ! Second...confusion...I have a couple of these dump trucks, did they offer two different ones? One with the third axle and one without? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotnitro? Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Sam - I think what your seeing for the 3rd axle is actually a lift axle he sourced from gw trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I added the lift axle and modified the bed. If you decide that you need to let one of those kits go, let me know! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
