Scott S replied to Scott S's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment

LOL, hey matt dont bust the cummins to hard, we had a 350 big cam in our 76 359 that made 565 to the ground. i cant say how fast it was cause it pegged the speedo. had a heck of a time with the heads move n roound on the block, ( we threw 42 lbs a boost in her, that was a contributing factor..lol) i like the 60 series in the ford , but a buzzin dozen would be neater...Hee hee Scott

Wierdest Loads Ever?
Scott S replied to Jim B's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
I did not experiance this first hand, this was a late good friend of my dads deal, he was known for very odd loads what you see is his truck and trailer about to be loaded as a whole unit in to this transport to be flown across the country by the military. the crate contains the mirror/lense for the hubble telescope..(i believe it to be the replacement for the flawed first) they winched the whole unit into the cargo hold and then out. he also hauled space shuttle parts on a reg basis and went thru the same trip with one of the engines to one of the shuttles also. i will try to get some more info from my dad and add it later. the whole truck was loaded because the crate was temperature controlled hense the genset and fuel tank on nose of trailer.

Thanks guys, the frame is now red, the wheels are red spokes with white rims,(some of um, have to hand paint um due to depth) i must say it looks real good. the cab will be white and red. i will post pic's next week when i get back. now i can start plumbing the steering and hyd. still a ways from dropping 16V in , waiting on turbos and styrene to plumb exh, and manifolds. i will do some checking on the stripe designs to see what i might like. thanks for the ideas.
