Pete single axle dump truck
Mrjeffrey replied to Mrjeffrey's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
It's 3/8 tube for the stacks. Amd I honestly don't know the size for the hoist, I just had a huge pack of styrene off eBay and just fit together what worked. I had to put tape around some of it to keep it tight in the others so the dump would stay positioned -

little more progress made got the flatbed layout somewhat made had to add a section in the front part from the wrecker body to get the window hole to like up better gpt the grill guard cut off the bumper and some paint on it and got some silver painted, painted the wheels over the chrome, just to dull them up some -
