Still working on this one, but just had to post it... Once I paint it and figure out what to load it up with, I'll share...

LOL!!! Nope... Not this time... The truck is red, so I decided to go neutral...

Looks good. I like the trailer a lot. I often see guys with dually trucks hauling a few cars at a time with similar trailers.

Always wondered why those F650 trucks were not more common, both as models and the real thing. Seems like they’d be more popular. At least, I don’t recall seeing them on the road much.

That's some kind of trailer you have there. I have one of these Crewzers as a kit. I don't remember building it, but I must have. I guess there was never any accessories made for it so it went to storage.

Yep... I picked up one of these from Hobby Lobby years ago (below)... The only reason why I hadn't bought more was because they were die cast models... I was a die hard plastic model man, back in the day, I guess... Still kicking myself about that....Anyway, it left me scrambling for these off ebay in recent years, when I decided to start collecting die casts...There are quite a few built up to be had... I've been able to acquire, probably 6 of them, since... All because I discovered Action Nascar trucks and trailers... Those work great with these things...

Thanks, Bro... I had wondered the same thing from time to time, myself... But I have seen them more popular with the weekend race scene more than the commercial, though... Toter homes and such... The real ones are decked out with leather, automatic trannies, and such, so I'm sure they were pretty expensive at the time... And as your average  Crew Cab F350 could do the same thing, I'm sure that won out with most hot shot drivers...

True, probably pretty expensive. I guess most people are happy with the more common “off the shelf” factory-made dually.
