Ronnie Burns - thanks for answering the question about the builder of the oil field truck, it took me awhile to realize it was a model it's very convincing! Thanks for following along Its gonna be a very long truck for sure ! I'm sure after all the major parts are added I'll need more shelf space lol -

Thanks Sam ! It's really well built , not the gopher snot glue normally seen on older builds ! Taking a queue from dr Kerry and just building something wild using numerous photos for ideas..one shows a water tank being winched off bed I'm definitely interested in Hey Brian ! Yeah I ordered right from Harold, fortunately he still had them. Their listed as discontinued when sold out... The whole package arrived a week after ordering , very pleased . Course now those tires aren't being used on this build..lol -

I REALLY wanted to use KFS' Terra swamp tires, but after mocking up, I didnt have an acceptable amount of clearance under the hardbar beam..drats ! The photo has the axle incorrectly mounted under the beam.. so I stubbornly decided to check a taller option..and it worked ! Something else I stumbled on was how close the trunnion would be without adding a spacer..looked like a top fuel dragster from behind..lol I used a 1/4 inch spacer , finally deciding on 1/8 gave a good width. Last up the frame gets stripped and add fishplates to stiffen everything up...sanding off the rails before adding 040 strips yes..the frames staying that long..adding a decent size twin winch tower , and scale 24 ft bed works out !
