gotnitro?

Erie County, yellow /hunter Green scheme. They also ran smaller funnel plows , which works out I have one ready Digging around last night in the parts bins and surprised myself ...I had a front drive axle from Gary already!!! Kept digging and found my rear spring pattern from the Oshkosh plow...and decided to build a set myself..just needs eyelets and mounts fabbed up. Front drive axle hiding in parts bin horray cant wait to get everything mocked up

Nice truck !

Thanks but sadly this ones being left as a come apart..its only area really bonded well and afraid frame will crack removing it

Don't forget the flames facing forward !!! My dad had a pinto wagon w wood trim..tank in the snow but so embarrassing getting picked up at school

Good looking build Dan ! Looking forward to your progress

Wow that is a short hood ! This will be a great project to watch

Hello Warren, thanks for following along ! Looking at the kit radiator vs the real truck there appears to be shutter type louvers outside of the grill. I'm wondering if their purpose would be a cold weather mod ? Good catch , I hadn't noticed them yet !! There's been several changes to the truck over time, so capturing the interesting details will be my main focus. I wanted to use a simple " rollover" plow w scratchbuilt hitch/ receiver, but there's the option of using a smaller township size " one way " plow I purchased from Ryan too...fun to have choices

Killer paint work Al the stripes really fit the body shape beautifully The chassis looks good too, can't wait to see more

Thanks Sam ! Funny how a project kinda finds us , I was searching for ideas and buddy suggested this . I saw the small dump box and the bulb went off Thanks the 5 holes are from moluminum same as the 24s . He sells 2 hole budds too. Id stashed these for a future project and forgotten about them....glad I was cleaning out that drawer

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
