yh70 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) Mobile Home Toter finally finished..ok where do i start..lol..this come close to going in the trash as it was in really bad shape for a glue bomb. i had to rebuild the front of the cab to start..i was gonna build a replica of one of the real moving trucks i had owned. but i started to customizing it by molding in the grill and adding square headlights..at that point again i started to trash it as i did not like how it looked..another month went by i picked it back up and built the bed..then it happened thinks started popping in my head of what it could look like (owing two real toter trucks before helped also ) once the bed was built i built a working 6 way high tower , added a winch + skid plate, real concrete blocks, hose reel, extra air tank. for volume , swan on hood, generator ,power cord reel. & water cooler. a shovel, anchors and anchor machine were scratch built along with sliding out mirrors & spot mirrors..topping that off with a oversize sign, over head rotating lights my name on the door , Louisiana DOT inspection sticker and license plate.. they is more detail ill let u find it..lol.

Oldmopars Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 I like it, great job on the scratch building. That thing looks the part. I have had a few Mobile homes over the years ad so I have seen these things in action. The extra details really make it. I love to see scratch building, and thins is a great job.

DRIPTROIT 71 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Excellent work on the bed! I really like your hitch. Some of the guys around here would use fork lift booms to make a similar style hitch. I had planned to build another over the road toter sometime but have never gotten around to it.

Tom Geiger Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Very nice work! A few jobs ago I designed and set up some pretty elaborate prefab office buildings. The sections always arrived on toters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincen47 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Really nice work, especially with something more on the unique side of builds. I love the added details like the blocks and planks, along with the tools and equipment. Great weathering too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopar - D Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Another excellent build Dave! Your details show that you have owned this type of truck. So you cast your own cement blocks? They look very real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
