I like it...!

[DRIPTROIT 71]

Very cool build!! I have done my fair share of work on f600 and 700s like this. Nice work!

[Renegade]

Realistic weathering. Great build.

[Superpeterbilt]

Great job and great build. This thing is cool. The weathering is perfect and very realistic. Can you tell us more about it, was it a resin kit, scratch built, what chassis donor did you use?

[Chuck Most]

Quite the tire swing setup you have there. 

[gino]

Dave,

       This is another one of your builds that I really like.

There was one similar to this on the pipeline job I did in the Florida Keys. I regret not getting any pictures of that rig.

Top notch build and a top notch setting!

[DumpyDan]

That is just awesome

Great build. Very realistic looking workhorse. Medium duty trucks  are my favorite builds, there are many directions you can go with them.  What's under the hood? A Cat or a SD?

[Mopar - D]

Another excellent build Dave! Any chance of seeing this next Saterday at the SWAMP show?

 Great weathering.. You didn't miss a detail

[Canso65]

Great build Dave. I had to look a few times to see if I was looking at the model or the real thing.

Great detailing and weathering!

Spot on weathering Dave. Truck looks well used, but not used up. Great job!

Terry the cab is from missing link resin casters, frame is from the ford 8000, wheels and tires from moluminum model truck parts and the bumper-bed is scratched built

[Rigzndiesel]

This is a very nice build.  So real...I like the flatbed on the truck with the hidden 5th wheel.  My Grandfather had two of these trucks in his construction business and I used to ride in them with him.  One had a dump box and the other was a stake bed.  I like everything about it!

[Kenny900]

Nice job, the weathering looks spot on!

[Tommy Isbister]

It looks like the old Davey tree trucks that I use to see here in Georgia. Davey tree trimmed and cleared power line right of ways and always had green Ford F700 4x4's. Excellent scratch building job.

Excellent build. I really love it

[Plastheniker]

Really unusual and convincing in every respect, very realistic!

just a old gas burner like the real one..

F 800's came with 475 gas V8's, same engine family as the 534 found in Ford C series tilt cabs. F 7000's came with cat 636 V8 diesels, same engine found in Louisville kits. The smaller gas engines found in F500 thru F 750's are very similar in appearance to the 70's  AMT Ford F 350  or Mobius '71 F 100 kits.
