Rest of tractors. Scott

Here's a few pic's of my 53 GMC, T he transtar II eagle , my 4300 transtar eagle, and the T-500 359 i did for my dad. these are sans trailers. when the dumps done, i'll post um as units. Here ya go Dennis, heres the pics of the Transtar II youve been fussing about..lol Scott

Two very nice builds, you took a fairly ugly truck and made them likable, nice job. The allied vans truck remind's my of one that was @ the local allied years ago. Scott

I have a resin H series, maybe in the future, to many other projects to do first. might make 1 of my signature long wheelbase smoothies.. Scott

Thanks dennis, it has two steering boxes, and will have hyd assist on the tie rods, i guess its kinda overkill but heck thats my middle name. the floats are the smallest i could find, once there painted i'll make a final decision. the name of the game is HEAVY hauler so be it. i didnt want to go w/ a 1200 rear tire set cause i thought it would sit to hi and also kill the gearing. Scott

Big Boy is Mobile. well sorta lol Scott

More than happy to help. Scott

Heres some more pic's of Big Boy i tried my hand @ a twin steering setup,(didnt want to wait for parts..lol)the drag links will be tied together and the second box will be hyd, controled for more or less an assist, and an unusal tri drive setup useing two hendrickson setups w/ the center axle on a common pivot, i think in theory they might work, don't think there'd be enough travel to bind..if so..ehh its not real...lol opinions? Scott

Hers some more pic's of our stuff.. Orange Dia Reo is a 72 58 850 GMC (cannonball) 61 DFW 7000 (crackerbox) 39 autocar cab fwd 85 GMC brig. w a 20' lumber/roller bed 87 GMC General w/ a 20' roller/lumber bed 18' pup trailer w extendable tongue 38' dropdeck Thanks for lookin. Scott

Hey Blake, heres a link to my photobucket acct. http://s912.photobucket.com/albums/ac329/proram/65%20351%20pics/ There a ton of pics of fenders, hood, grille,shutters, headlite mounts, side flaps, hindges from our 65 351. cab interior shots, and rear frame shots (alum. frame) one thing i noticed is your panels between need more angle towards frame, the bottom of the hood flaps are flush with the tops of the frame rails. love the truck, not picking, just pointing out, hope this helps some. Scott

Blake, im sure i do. i'll look thru my pic's if not give me a few days and i'll get to the shop and take some for ya.. just a note ours is a butterfly hood. if theres any other pic's you need let me know. Mines a 270 /13 spd, alum frame, has over a million miles. i have all the original parts for it to, tanks, boxes, small bumper. Scott

Markus, its a resin 16v i got from Dave @ AITM. and the cab i stretched myself, if you look close you can see mating lines. plenty of sanding and filling till i'm happy with it. Scott

Another beautiful logging rig, nice Job as usual Bill. Scott

Dennis, thats the back half of the green glue bomb..lol, front half will be a daycab on the yellow ones chassis, w a 6-71 inline.... i'm going with the idea of a NW. mine truck , its going to have a chalmers rubber block setup, air ride third axle (true drive axle) the 16v is a project it self, tons of work to make it road truck useable. no color scheme yet, to early in game.its going to 4 fuel tanks, daul pipes, daul intakes. i'm going to tear up 2 lowboy kits to make a 4 axle beam trailer, and the payhaulers in the basement shop sitting waiting to be built. i also need to quit starting new projects and finishing a couple, but being on road all week i have hrs on end to come up with ideas, and i put them in a note book, this one got best of me when dennis sent me a couple Jimmys. lol mistermodel, no race here, lol i only get a few hrs a week to work on um.. Scott

well, i've stared another project, (like i need too..lol) I'm calling this one Big Boy, its a GMC astro made into a double bunk, stretched frame, twin steer, tri drive, 16V71 w twin turbos, a spicer 4x4 w a 3 spd aux. its gonna be a super heavy hauler, pulling a lowboy beam style trailer w the Payhauler 350 on it. heres some mock up, early stage pic's. gonna take a while cause i'm still gathering parts and working on the Transtar II, the 4300 and the Mack C dump... Scott

Neat fleet.. my fav's the Crackerbox, mostly cause i have a 1:1 thats orange to boot..lol Scott

That is stunningly beautiful, top notch!!! Scott

Matt, ahh ya got me..lol, didnt know u were using 2 for water. are they potable water tanks? if so wheres your black and gray water going? hee hee i such a s*#t stirrer..lol Scales, what scales??? we dont need no stinking scales... Scott

Dave, dosent appear to have much @ all, justa lotta frame and a fifth wheel, the people that have it dont know story, its been shipped around to try and get rid of it, forign buyer stiffed kw, miles are from moving it around country... only way to realy sell it here in states is cut it down, u can get around emissions if ya know how to do it. Scott

lol, Matt, i was wonderin if you'd pop in with that monster... that thing is huge!! Ps, i think your over weight just in fuel.... your carring 900 gal of fuel it looks like @ 7 lb to the gal. is 6300 lb...yikes!!! you might need hazmat/tanker cert just to drive it... Scott

lol, you aint kidding dennis, i'd like to know the story behind it. 50 k rears 20 k f/a but the legnth would prohbit any real weight on the frame. our thoughts were it was set up for an rv style bunk and maybe to pull a stacker..ie: auto and reletively small power (475) maybe aussie or some where theres exceptionaly long straight stretches.
