Looks good !

Definitely a huge improvement

They definitely keep me busy Thanks ! I knew I wanted a replica after eyeing this truck. Their Oshkosh has my attention too..wait and see. Brian - yeah really enjoying this project

Lol thanks for following along Yeah their busy little suckers lately Good to hear your elves are back

Rummaging through my stash of Evergreen, I found these decent size C channel that looked right. Cutting out the dump bed floor from .040 sheet and added the C channel ribs. Later the outside rail will get skinned w strip to box everything. The tilt frame was fabbed from square tube , the notch in frame will be where I place the tilt hinges While that dried , I cut down more 040 for the bed sides . The height was based off pics , shown around even w cab drip rail...serious eyeball engineering lol. Lastly the side ribs were attached and the short cab guard was fashioned. Photos showed it barely even with the rear cab panel. Guess it's protecting the wet tank !! thanks for watching the 361 come together !

I call / text or email Gary gwtrucks@yahoo.com Thanks ! When I spotted the 361 I knew this project was gonna be next. Works out well because its nearby and photos are easy

I stumbled onto my next project while doing a summer clean out at the in laws. While dropping a truck load of house clutter off at the town barn, my eye caught sight of the towns beloved Brockway 361. as you can see it's been lovingly cared for, and who doesn't love a Husky ! The chassis I'm using is from the IH paystar dump truck for simplicity. I gave Dave Natale a call for all the Husky parts I could source, and as always he was very helpful getting all the details identified. The other parts I needed are those huge 22.5 2 Hole budds sourced from moluminum, and the correct size tires from Gary at gwtrucks. Building a truck like this would be nearly impossible without all the help from the aftermarket and friends , so thank you ! A few days later, a packed box from Egg Harbor arrived..I couldn't resist a mock up. more to come !

Sharp looking combo

That's fantastic news, I really enjoyed putting mine together and the fit was excellent

Outstanding work !! I really like following builds like these , shows how simple items laying around can be turned into assembled parts. Great tip on the half rounds too, I've always struggled with getting them to curve without kinking

Hey Jerry , ya the plant isn't far from where I live I didnt know much about trucks till being on here, then touring the museum really gives an appreciation of their popularity. Several gentlemen in our classic car club actually worked at the plant ...its awesome to listen to their stories

I've always used bleach white over night soak then wash w dawn dish soap in cool water . Super clean also turned a few resin parts into a mess , I only use it now for stripping chrome

Awesome work

If your talking about the small side glass, I'd recommend making them from any plastic container, or acetate sheet. Usually it's much thinner appearing much more in scale .

Wow awesome work and the mods really make it pop

Thank you ! I appreciate the feedback CabDriver - my process for painting was 2 mist coats then 2 or 3 moderate wet . I wanted a good tacky coat since the humidity was insane. I nearly always end up w fogging or a milky coat w lacquer, something my buddies remind me to let each coat rest and it will generally clear up. This clear like most lacquer shrink back after curing causing my paint to dull slightly..a light wet sanding and buffing usually helps it pop back Hope that helps

Wow thanks everyone ! Every build finished or started deserved an award Special thanks to Driptroit 71 for hosting the BRBO keeping it running smoothly

Well..its finished !!! Quick fun build before getting back to scratch building . Sorry my pics are cell quality..any criticism or feedback welcome! finally the Coyote thanks for following along Jeff

Good luck !

Nice work especially the interior details

Thanks Jason ! I agree the wheels were too bright w the chrome spokes against the red

Thanks Sam ! Been slowly puttering, decent weather lately had me tied dwn w outdoor projects. Yeah the gray won out , all the chrome was too much

Nice work so far , one of my favorite truck styles

Now those port hole windows fit perfectly ! Man your friends artistic mind really is amazing, so cool how he turned it into your sons football season

Very nice work Pat Always fascinating watching how multiple kits can be sourced to make one project possible
