gotnitro? Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 The squarish angular cab really shows the trend of the day, reminds me of the snow fighters of Oshkosh , Walter etc all beautiful trucks over built for heavy work. Your winch is a tiny work of art ! One of those models that would really be special to look at left in raw plastic with only a clear protective coating applied . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieselhead Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Very interesting subject, great work! I've only seen a handful of pictures of these units, even looking up the IH model 8066 tractor doesn't get many results. Will be following this one closely. Any plans for a load at this time? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
