redneckrigger Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) Got this one done in two months.......amazing! It is a replica of the actual truck I used to have. It was a 1980 9500 rollback with a 6V92T, (replaced the original 6V53 by a previous owner), and a 5x2 transmission/rear end. It has a diamond plate 22 foot rollback body with a hydraulic winch. The cab is an AITM resin with a flip hood modification, a Backyard Shed resin engine, an AMT Ford frame, and parts box axles and springs. The dashboard is scratchbuilt from a Ford Louisville, and the body is totally built from Evergreen Styrene and it all works. I plan on doing some light weathering at a later date. Pretty happy with how it came out and how well it replicates the original. Edited April 3, 2019 by redneckrigger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbill Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Great looking build, takes a little bit to notice all the little details, probably because it’s so realistic. Well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is one of the main reasons why these shows are so much fun to go to. Add that to the inspiration one gets from seeing so many unbelievable builds, and talking to so many with the same passion, and it makes these shows awesome!

kilrathy10 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Looks good, Man... I do love a good roll back build.... Good job... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redneckrigger Posted February 3 Author Share Posted February 3 When I completed this build, I was never happy with the forward rake of the cab. So…..finding myself with time to get to the bench after over a year away from it, first thing I addressed was to correct the rake. Am MUCH happier with it now! Having just recently retired and sold my business, I see LOTS more time at the bench in my future! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noah H. Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Nicely done. I'm a big fan of the 2-stroke Detroit Diesels, and that 6V92T looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
