zaina Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 This will be a long term project but I want to show where I've started. The bed will be replaced with a scratch built welding bed (similar to the one that I built for my Dodge Ram). The tires are from Chief Joseph and the wheels are from scenes unlimited. The wheels will need some work in order to widen them to fit in the big tires. Here is a quick mockup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey429 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Looks like a lot of rigs running around SW Pennsylvania as of late. With all the Marcellus Shale drilling and pipelining going on, guys are coming in from all over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakshow12 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 If you paint it black and put a monster sticker in the back window it will look like EVERY 20 year old kids truck running around the Alberta oil patch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaina Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 Sorry guys. I haven't touched any models in months. A two year old and a 3 month old take up most of my time and any free time I get is spent picking up after them. Also I haven't had any ambition to build lately.

hooknladderno1 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) I totally understand where you are at Andy! Just know when time and spirit permit, there are folks interested in following your build. In the mean time, enjoy these years. Before you know it, they will be off on their own...

zaina Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 Ok. I decided to dig this one back out now that I have a place to work on models again. I never like how far the front tires stuck out so I machines the resin that came with the wheel kit and was able to move them in so they look right. This kit also has a forward rake that I didn't like so I machines 1/8" aluminum spacers for the front to level it out. I still need to order the other two tires and machine the spacers for the other duals. I also cut the frame off just behind the rear shackle mounts to give it more of a bobbed look(not pictured). Thanks for all the great comments everyone. Here are a few updates pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
