Very nice detail on the rims. Good job so far

This will be a cool project

Heres a Bison thats been put to pasture. Its sittin at a rock quarry in the Neveda hills about an hour south of Las Vegas.

Heres 4200 single drive thats getting some repairs

A little tip, go slow and easy. Those little cut off stones are very brittle and do come apart if put in too much of a bind.

I use the dremel. Then sand and smooth the edge. I do the same for sheet metal, like bumpers.

Hank is a truck driver, who loves trucks. Hes had a few really unique trucks. His website is... hankstruckpictures.com There are countless pictures, from Hank and a bunch of other people. Pictures of companies, manufacturers, truck shows, overpasses, factories, dealerships, from a wide range of years. Its a great site.

Welcome. I look at modeling like golf, its the most frustrating yet relaxing thing to do in your spare time. Take your time, build for yourself, build what you want, ask as many ?s as need be. Most important, have fun.

They had the KW dump truck there, price was a bit steep for me. They also had a few 378 long haulers, price was more than ebay. My LHS is all over on prices, some really good, some way over. I think im gonna do my whole wrecker fleet similar paint schemes and colors.

Thanks Terry. I seen it sittin on the shelf for 40 bucks, i couldnt say no. I seen the price and didnt think twice about it and grabbed it.

Its definitely the later. It has new door handles on it

Im not sure. Where can i can tell which it is. It doesnt have a copyright year anywhere Its got a NTC 350 Looks like #8126 is the box number

Just scored an AMT pete wrecker from my LHS for a very reasonable price. This will be a nice addition to my wreck fleet, as soon as i get started on them, someday.

I just got 1 of these today from my LHS, for a very reasonable price. Hope mine will look as good as this 1

They are on ebay right now. Search 24" long frame rails w/ crossmembers. They are 26 bucks plus shipping

Thanks again everybody. From both of of us, it let her read the comments and she really enjoyed and appreciates everyones kindness.

Hello bob, bye bob, best 1.80 i ever spent. You are right bud

Yes sir officer, LOL. Being a truck driver i get as much as can. Itll be rough, but well worth it im sure.

Throw more chain on there Angel, hes not prepared to go on any recoveries yet. Looks good man. Very nice work, looks like it just rolled out of the manufacturer.

You shall be hung by the neck till you are dead dead dead!

10-4. Guess ill keep my eye out for a relatively affordable Bill pete.

Im just curious about this. With all the extra parts that are in the reissue wrecker, can a Bill Signs pete be built from it. I know cab and a few other things need to be gotten 1st.

Ive thought buying 2 of those bottom dump trailers and making 1 out of them. I may just buy those this weekend

Ive been using 3/8 for 8 in. So 7/16 should be good for 10 in

5 looks better. The 3 look odd on a big wheel. Ive 3 on small rims
