DRIPTROIT 71 Posted January 13, 2022 Posted January 13, 2022 This project began with a picture of a truck for sale that I found on line. It had been a spreader truck that the bed had been removed. This is what this one is supposed to represent. I liked the way it looked with no bed. This build started with a Paystar logger truck. The tires, front axle and transfer case are from Kit Form Services. The engine is a Detroit 6-71 from Gary Wallace. Thanks this one stalled for 7 months. I’m glad to be calling it done.
Dodge Driver Posted January 13, 2022 Posted January 13, 2022 That's a real beast of a truck. Quite imposing. I think it's great!
Rusty92 Posted January 13, 2022 Posted January 13, 2022 Turned out great. Looks like a truck that could do it all.
happy grumpy Posted January 14, 2022 Posted January 14, 2022 Everything about this is just great. I love the way it looks. Well worth the effort you put into it. The engine , weathering and the weighted tires only add to an already realistic model.
Mopar - D Posted January 14, 2022 Posted January 14, 2022 Awesome build Brian yours looks a lot better than the one in your reference pictures. I like the colors you went with.
Doug 1061 Posted January 14, 2022 Posted January 14, 2022 Very nice. Its got that used but not abused look.
kilrathy10 Posted January 14, 2022 Posted January 14, 2022 Excellent work... What a beast.... Nice subtle weathering and such... The detail is quite good...
vincen47 Posted January 14, 2022 Posted January 14, 2022 Another great build. Too bad it was stalled, but it looks nice in the end. Unique truck.
leafsprings Posted January 15, 2022 Posted January 15, 2022 I like what you did with this one Brian. Looks like an ex oil field worker from the sands of Saudi Arabia! Great construction color combo theme.

Warren D Posted February 16, 2022 Posted February 16, 2022 That looks great, the left rear looks a little low on air though....

Fat Brian Posted February 26, 2022 Posted February 26, 2022 I just saw this build, it reminds me of a pulling truck that's all over youtube. Great job, as always.
