gotnitro?

Hahahaha i only borrowed it for a few minutes.. they had quite a few to choose from . Sadly I hear most have been parted out now . One lives on by a lucky owner though

With all the Autocar ,DR. love going on here lately, I decided to jump on the wagon !! I picked up a very nice rebuilder at a local show...so nice I'm kinda embarrassed for tearing it down and using it for the intended build . The build will be a plow , using the dump box from a Ford plow kit , and 24s for rubber . Heres the pile I started with before carefully disassembling the truck. The planned build ..photo used w permission thanks Ryan Pedone The cab showed DK slam lock doors but retains the DC narrower hood..wipe sweat from brow...now I can just use most of the kit parts ! Check out the new tires next to stock the float front...yeah crazy . The dump box from sam i am I traded forever ago, nows the perfect project to use it ! Looks like the truck was built with tube glue, lightly wiggling the parts and they popped right off ! Here's the chassis after just a few minutes ..I never even had to use a sawzall.. I'm gonna remove the Rockwell 6 bar and replace it with a single drive axle . The front will have a driven front axle from gw trucks . I'm keeping the stock engine for now...well see A quick mock up to check frame length Any comments or suggestions welcome

Thanks ! When we rebuilt our deck this summer everyone said I built it strong enough to park a truck on it...never imagined actually parking one on it Thanks ! It was a very enjoyable project

Thats a nice kit for winter project s

Nice looking start Sam !

Thanks Brian ! I hated to dirty up the paint , but glad I weathered it Thanks Dan ! It's been a fun adventure, actually hoping to have this displayed at the Brockway museum for everyone to see.

Nice work so far Following !

Fantastic build ! All the scratchbuilding details really bring this to life .

Looks really well done

Thanks Vince ! I really wish I'd sprayed a dull coat before doing the powder , it didn't stain the parts liked I'd hoped..but these trucks were maintained at a high level by the drivers anyway . First thing I always add are am tires , nothing beats the quality and detail

Thanks Jim !

Thanks ! Another fun build checked off the list Thanks, these trucks really got worked but the drivers took care to maintain them . Ill probably add a dump truck of their fleet someway

Thats right folks, its that time of year again !! The Fulton model show held at the Volney firehouse is 11/21/21 Whos planning to attend

really sharp work ! the wood floor is a nice touch

yours is looking awesome Tom ! I' ll whip mine into shape this week, this car has challenged me

very nice work

The Brockway mixer is a tribute to the retired B&D fleet in the southern tier , thats since been sold off for scrap . These trucks were a common sight hauling loads around the southern tier, and the siren song of their 6-71s filling the air . The shop typically made modifications to every truck and I tried to capture them on this build . The main build focused around a 361 cab and Rex 770 from AITM. B& D trucks had custom built " pit fenders " so I ordered them from Dave too. Their rear fenders were commonly backwards, and up front they always had a logging chain welded to the front springs for yanking them free if mired on job sites . I cut the kit hood free and formed a metal one from K&s tin hinging it to show off the 6-71 from gw trucks . Paint is rusto sunrise red & JD green . Decals were printed by Joseph Schultz of diecast & decals . Weathering w actual concrete powder . any feedback welcome!

The mixer is finished ! I added a few details , mud flaps w logos on computer paper then snapped some photos Enjoy ladder braces were added I forgot about earlier Extra chutes w a flash rusting ..just mig powders over steel paint for effect Thanks to everyone following my build Jeff

The interior looks fantastic Definitely vote the middle spoon

Nice start

Very nicely done , proportions look spot on! The cut outs around windshield must've been fun to make

Your autocar looks good ! Very fitting truck hauler My rodents have been hoarding parts for giving mine a new lease on life , getting antsy to start working on it ..must finish one 1st lol

Plenty of time still , we have till Dec 31 ! Waiting on parts and supplies has really plagued everyone this yr . I really need to restock paint rack , getting hard to find

Man Tom, that green combination is gonna look fantastic ! The engines are really gonna come to life after we get everything wired up

I couldn't wait any longer ..tossed the wheels under it and made a roller ..the wheels are painted to match the body. Started the bmf trim too..knowing this would slow me down Thanks for following our builds !
