Heck yeah Jessie!! It's been years ago that I worked at that scrap-yard back in Iowa. Man, shots of the jack stands and hydraulic lines for the arms would be cool, heck, the whole lugger bed would be cool!! LOL!! Have you ever had a truck " stand up" on you???? I remember being at the land fill a couple of times when the jacks sank in the ground while dumping...the truck stood darn near straight up!!! The guys in the bulldozers were laughing their butts off!!! I wasn't...I was hanging on for dear life!! Came back down when I reversed the controls. They told me they could have walked under the front tires without ducking!!!! :blink:

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SWEET man!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd vote for that Bronco!!!!! Got a resin one...looks a little funky, think it was casted from a toy?

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's AWESOME!!!!! Looks real!!!

I got a score at the DuPage County fairgrounds in Wheaton Il. on Sunday...I got a Bronco Models 1/35th scale Buffalo 6x6 military vehicle that usually goes for 62 bucks ( ebay ) or 85 retail. I got it for $40 !!!!!!!!! Also got RMR's 41 Chevy coupe, Jimmy Flintstone's Panel van...not really sure what the heck it is, but it's cool, I'll get pics later. Got a Myers Manx for $15, and a Comp. Resins Pontiac GXP pro-stock & Pistonator decals for it from Mike's scale speed shop's. Oh, also some cool www tires!! Good haul in my opinion.

Geez, why didn't I think of that!!?? That would probably be the best place to start!! Thank's for slapping me with that one!! LOL!!

Before my question I'll tell ya what I'm doing. I've got AMT's Ford dump truck/snow plow kit that I'm converting into a " lugger " truck...the kind you see at scrap yards that haul big boxes of junk...sorry, no pics yet. They have the hydraulic arms with chains to pick 'em up with, jack stands in the back for support when dumping, just a big ugly truck...well, the one I used to drive is!! LOL!! I'm doing all of this by memory coz I don't have pics of the 1:1 truck. I worked at a scrap yard driving this beast for 5 bucks per hour! Thing of it is, this truck did NOT have a diesel or air brakes, so the kit engine won't work. The one I drove had some sort of big V-8 Ford motor-gas, and just regular brakes?! I guess my question is what big ( displacement ) Ford engine would you suggest I start with??? I've got pretty much everything else kind of figured out. When I get pics done, I'll post 'em. Thanks for any help.
