I can imagine! The details are stunning! It´s always a learning process no matter how good the previous project was there´s always potential for improvement.

It´s fun to watch!

What is a rigsaver?

Thanks, it been a project. A rigsaver is a gate valve type device that will when activated, prevent air from entering the engine intake air system. This prevents a engine runaway situation. Mine is mounted on the air inlet piping before entering the turbo compressor.

I've never heard of one of those before. Thank You for the answer.

With the Pete out of the way for now I’m focused on continuing with the bed truck, I decided to rebuild some prior work and trying to put a nose on it. Thanks for looking.

That’s a big truck - following your progress.  Will your truck have the fold out fifth wheel some of these trucks have?  Great work!

[cdntrucking]

Working on the poles among the 100 other things that this will need. Thanks for looking.

Great to see an update - terrific work on the truck!  Worked for a welder during summers back in high school days - got to watch some of these trucks work moving mud tanks and camp trailers on a couple occasions, while on site.  They seemed to be able to get through almost any road conditions.

Thanks, its been a project, numerous changes and always trying to figure something out. I was a swamper and eventually ran a small bed when I was a young man moving rigs.

Few more progress pics of the bed truck. Almost coming together for paint before the snow season.

Awesome looking truck, Lewis - tremendous amount of detail!  Are you planning similar colours to your other truck?
