International 4300 tractor
Gary Chastain replied to Gary Chastain's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Thanks Jeff yup the General is one of my favorites, such a simple build, no frame stretch, just added a flat bed and a few details. I have the Chevy version of this truck and a leftover cargo box with lift gate that I may do up this winter. -

Nice attention to the fit details. I have seen real trucks that the hood and cab don’t fit well. -

Thanks, my wood shop fits in the same category as my lawn mower or the garden. When I need to cut the grass I grab the mower, when we need a piece of furniture,I go out to the wood shop, they are not my focus hobby, just necessary tools to live my life and keep costs down. -

Decided to build a display cabinet to put my truck builds in, maybe help keep the dust off. 42 inches long by 24 inches wide, that should fit the truck and trailers. Used some no 2 oak I had laying around, will cut plexiglass to insert in the glass areas. Hopefully the grandkids can’t break it or ………. The aluminum spacers are to get the door spacing the same all around. -

Wow, you are all in on this build, will be watching. And yes, the aftermarket parts world is changing our hobby in a big way. We spend 50 bucks on a kit and then spend 200 hundred bucks on aftermarket parts. Love how you are building your way. -

Thanks and yes, I need to get back to this build and wrap it up. Hey Jeff. I think the earlier kits did not have this issue, the tool must have been updated due to wear or something and the locating position of the front springs got moved. The axle fits the springs quite well. I am hoping the new Sprite redo is a better updated kit. A narrower front axle would make floats and easier task for sure -
