DRIPTROIT 71 Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 I picked up the old Ertl dump truck kit recently. I've always liked these kits since I was a kid. I just started on the engine which is a 6v-92 Detroit from Auslowe with a few modifications Including some modified valve covers from KJ at Double Take. This one will have a lift axle from Gary Wallace and wheels and tires from Jamie at moluminum. Here is the engine so far:
vincen47 Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 I like what you’ve done with the classic IH Red Detroit, especially the rust texture.
DrKerry Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 Looks great so far Brian!! Can't wait to see it come together!!!

DRIPTROIT 71 Posted July 8, 2019 Author Posted July 8, 2019 Thanks for all the comments guys!! I've got it up on it's tires now.
Chariots of Fire Posted July 10, 2019 Posted July 10, 2019 That's going to be able to take a serious load!! Those kits are always a pleasure to work with.
gatorincebu Posted July 24, 2019 Posted July 24, 2019 Yeah that third axle looks good. I like these trucks along with all the other Internationals that ERTL did . Be Well Gator
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted September 7, 2019 Author Posted September 7, 2019 Thanks for all the comments guys!! I'm finally back to working on this one. I was able to get a little done on the bed today.
TECHMAN Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 ??? That V-6 Detroit seems to fit perfectly!!! Like where you're going with this!!! DJ
Sam I Am Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 First, looking great Brian ! Second...confusion...I have a couple of these dump trucks, did they offer two different ones? One with the third axle and one without?
gotnitro? Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Sam - I think what your seeing for the 3rd axle is actually a lift axle he sourced from gw trucks.

I added the lift axle and modified the bed. If you decide that you need to let one of those kits go, let me know! ?
