Ford H-Series
Scott S replied to Chuck Most's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
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 -
Ford H-Series
Scott S replied to Chuck Most's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
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.

Project 351 pete narrow nose
Scott S replied to airlessride's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
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?

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