Very cool twin steer IH definitely appears to be an oil field truck. Certainly make a great and interesting model given the ease of locating the paystar kit

Thanks Gator !!yeah I can't find a single thing now..except the evergreen lol Started adding the flooring on the wrecker bed, trial and error won out . It's very rough at the moment but once I add the top panels it'll his my shoddy work....back to watching frozen w my daughter Always get at least one fracture in the diamond plate..this time was no different. Oh well a little gap filling sup er glue should hide

Beat me to it..was searching for the article you mentioned Thought jamie had a trailer suspension also

Oops..I didn't save the text to my gallery for ya tom..let's try again 2 words for ya..Samsung galaxy..lol Awesome build

See if my smart phone is any smarter..weird rash of photo loading issues lately

This beauty stopped by a local cruise in night..Verde Ithaca paint and triple black wow

71 olds cutlass out riding in.the sun

Awesome work

Love the color ! Truck sure does look better than when I had it , knew you'd give a proper home ! Sorry the rack turned out slightly lopsided ..the pic really shows ..oops Just flatten one side tire, you'll never noTice it lol

Outstanding work

If you'd like just the HD Rockwell rears from the dump dave over in egg harbor casts them ..aitm will easily hook ya up, just be sure to order those awesome huge tires autocar's need while your there . The suspension is 20 bucks Glad to hear the acar tractor is coming back...I swapped mine away to a lucky fella, been having hankering for another Acar

Lol sorry gotta stop by work for 8 hrs and hang out ..keeps the bank account happy ! I did fab up a set of cleats last night for the outrigger posts..guess they turned out decent

Ok..update time !! What your all thinking it's not 2 weeks later already..lol Starting the 22k drag winch mounted on the bed floor, I dug thru my top secret stash of armor parts and found a few items perfect for my cornfield engineering! A couple road wheels off a British AS-90 gave up its geared hubs,and I turned them into the drive hubs for my winch ! Here's the pile of plastic before and during construction. Maybe the pics will inspire others to find parts in weird places .the other parts are the custom wheel backers from the 72 cutty convertible. That's one side the other side I'll keep secret till tomorrow. .cause it's not finished yet lol

Thanks Kerry !! Old desk was soooo cramped I couldn't ever find anything, now I still can't find anything but it's cleaner lol

Awesome detail work It's gonna be great fun watching , plus it has a green leaker my favorite! !

Love all the work you added it'll make you much happier after its complete knowing the hrs spent was worth it! Especially after all the great feedback your gonna get from us lol

Thanks everyone I appreciate the comments! !! It's a great motivator. I took a few days break to set up a new work area, the old desk wasn't cutting it. Scored a workbench from work yrs ago, and always liked the size , so I drug it literally it's stupid heavy..2 inch thick top , and reset my bench. One thing I've always wanted was a place for the evergreen packs , so I hung a board with screws to hang them...cheap and priceless storage lol I took a while to alter / delete the outdated under lift from the pete hooker , and started scratching a newer one. I chopped 1/4ich off the top where there will be a cable way for the 22k drum winch mounted in the bed. A few plates of 015 for details and bobs my uncle Thanks for looking Be back soon

yeah love the COE cab overs awesome work !

sorry..its been awhile !! The weather around here has been crazy and kept finding excuses to avoid the bench ...anyway I finally got around to starting the rear outrigger towers. A few angled plates of .040 thou and Meng bolts on the mounting plate finished it up ! I'll add the upper clevis' later along The bottom boxes will end up housing the actual stablizers, which hold the truck level during recovery ops last up the side panel mounts ! gotta love those craft stick photo bombs argg I'll try to keep the updates more frequent now lol stay tuned

Awesome work

Thanks ! Sorry so few updates, daughter started getting her back teeth and haven't had much constructive bench time . I'm becoming the local expert on mickey clubhouse and Disney Frozen..lol tonites update was testing the wheels. I used a steerable drop axle from gw trucks and love how it actually works !! I haven't decided if wheels down or up will be final version . Thanks for being patient Jeff

Looking good !!

I had the privilege of seeing this combo in person today at the Fulton show, and it's awesome! ! The pics don't even give it any justice , the small details and weathering really turn it into a work of art Congrats KJ on your build and new well deserved hardware

Love it The holmes is one of my favorite wreckers

Thanks everyone I appreciate the comments! ! How about a friday update shall we ! Mr Neil Yates ordered up some new doors for his wrecker..and in proper fashion I figured why not grind up a perfectly good cab lol. They called them day lite windows. ..here's my interpretation now for the day lite conversion !! I'll straighten the door seals later along , but I'm really liking the look
