Swamp Dog Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 its not uncommon to see a over the road truck down here in south Louisiana come off the road and start hauling logs..here it is finally finished it..it is wired and plumbed, aluminum stacks, brass photo etched heat shields,fuel tanks open, winch and working shackle...the trailer is scratched built using the axles and tires out of the amt log kit. weathered out with pastels..

signguy2108 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Hey David, looks like you nailed it! I seen a lot of these in north louisiana & s. arkansas in the early '90's. I had a Mack r and a freightliner, both w/ sleepers hauling wood chips, lumber and would not hesitate to hook on to a pole trailer. There was some good money in pulling logs back then if you didn't mind getting your truck dirty! Oh, and if you hauled into Bastrop, that sleeper came in real handy. A 3-4 hr wait was normal! Seen a lot of good looking large cars come in there with a pole trailer. Nice job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Bryan Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 When the owner of Kangaroo died ...... must be close to 10 years back, the leftover stuff was sold, and most of the art work disappeared when the family where working out what to do with it Kangaroo had the best decals, they where screen printed, and where quality, This website has what is left of the Kangaroo range, and there is not much left, a lot of decals where destroyed in a flood recently http://www.grdecals.com.au/page8.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
