DRIPTROIT 71

The Hobby Lobby here in Salisbury has a model clearance display. The models are exactly 40% off. The only trucks were the 1/25th snap trucks. I picked up one of each. They won't let you use a 40% off coupon on sale items.

That is one great looking wrecker!! Great work on the paint!!

Very Cool Build!! I like it!!

Wow!! That is one sharp looking truck!! You did one excellent job on both the tractor and trailer!! I really like the paint scheme! I looks like the real thing!

Great project!! Depending on what exactly you're wanting to build, you have lots of options. On Chevrolets, the C series is two wheel drive and the K is four wheel drive. The 10 is 1/2 ton, 20 is 3/4 and 30 is 1 ton. I built this kit about 23 years ago, and I may be wrong, but I thought that it came with a 14 bolt rear axle and 10 bolt front axle which would be a common 3/4 ton set up. We used to build a lot of 1:1 trucks back in the day. A short bed would have came from the factory as a 1/2 ton, but we often put 3/4 and 1 ton axles under half ton trucks. The badging and even cabs were often changed as well. So, unless you're trying to build a factory original, you have lots of options. Interestingly enough, I had a friend who had a short bed step side with 3/4 axles under it that looks almost identical to the way your model looks now. Looking forward to seeing more of this one!

Great looking fleet! The Brockway came out great! I'm kind of partial to Bighorns too.

That is one great looking Louisville! Great work!!

A couple of great looking Autocars!

Very nice build!! I guess the next time that driver will tarp that load before he pulls it out onto the highway.

Nice Build!

Great looking build! I believe I was about 10 when I started building. My builds at 10 were box stock though, without any added color, not nearly as nice as this.

Very nice and clean builds!!

Very nice old build!! Looks great!

I have always been partial to the stainless box trailers. This one looks like the real thing. That is one of the best jobs of exhaust weathering that I've seen. So many are over done. Yours is just right!

Cool project! I had wanted to build a 352 with center point steering. I'll be watching this one.

This is one massive truck, and I do mean TRUCK! I really want to see this one finished!!

Your work always amazes me!

I like the short look! Are you going to be adding the lift axel back to the truck?

I like the color choice!!

I haven't touched it since the first part of June. I hope to get back on it this week though.

I like it!! Great work!! Very clean.

Very nice!! The 37 Chevrolet has always been one of my favorites. Great work!!

Very nice Mopar!! Great Work!!

This is my kind of build! I've been wanting to get one of these to build an Adam 12 car. I'm looking forward to seeing your progress on this one.

Welcome aboard!
