had some time today to start thinking about mounting the engine i finally figured it all out. i know its not a v-8 but its a straight six will have to do i prefitted the motor mounts. tomorrow i will really get into it cut the rails a little off and paint the them. make a radiator , fan and some pullies

she painted i need to add some kind of bracket to the roof to hold down the grate once that done i can paint the roof

1st time making a grate . i use .060 rod what apain to make

i started on the making the window area the window is removable with screws and the mounting too is removable next is the grate covering the window

i blew up this picture and it does look like a window

HELP !!!!!!!! the part on top the roof. it looks like an incase window i would somebody to confirm that

i took out the plastic doors and added alum ones

yea man that looks good

didnt know you can buy all alum aftermarket parts. this is looking really kool

this build is far more better then the rest, as detail goes. owe it to all the guys on this forum for there ideas and builds. im a huge fan here

ive done 206 builds, includes working wreckers, boom trucks, roll off flatbeds trucks, etc. but in 1/14 scale and not as detailed. sense i joined a couple of modellers forums i noticed i can learn alot and pick up the detailing. so really this is my 1st detailed truck. i did build a working mobile 8x8 rocket launcher. that was really kool. looking back it,i could have made it alot better here link to some of my builds http://scalebigrigs.madmooseforum.com/

mounted the cab,front box,lower boxes,added red rims,enigine cover ,painted and installed the rear fenders she grew alittle too lol shes at 36 inches bumper to bumper

i went through the whole chassis and cant see any issues i made rear fenders im going with a different motor and tranny for torque, this truck will be heavier then the 4x4, needing more power the engine compartment will be empty . i have the perfect solution for that area i just got word my water tank is ready tomorrow i should have fenders in paint and be back on track oh ya rear steer is hooked up and ready

no probelm, what your addy lol

new frame cut i went with a shorter leaf spring and with 6 leafs each this time i laid 30 pounds on it and didnt give also added 3rd axle with rear steer i need to remake rear fenders , outer tanker longer and make a 3rd box that goes behind the front box so this went from a t1500 to t3000. im hoping no body is dissappointed as i had no option for the upgrade i have an awesome surprize what im adding to the truck too
