ShakyCraftsman Posted May 31 Posted May 31 (edited) Hello Everybody  This is a future build that I'm gathering parts for. It will be a heavy offroad B.C. logging truck. I'm going to use the AMT Kenworth Alaskan Hauler for the base truck. I've ordered a Detroit Diesel 12V71 from Auslowe, a Allison Automatic trans from 3D Concepts, the wheels are from 3D Concepts (6 spoke Daytons), the tires are from Paul at ST Supply (RoadX DT990 13:00 24.5's) the headache rack will be from Global (modified to fit) the rest of the logging stuff will be from a AMT logging trailer kit. Here is a concept picture of it. Those tires are 48.0" tall! So yeah it's BIG! Ron G Edited May 31 by ShakyCraftsman 4
Biggu Posted May 31 Posted May 31 Thanks , Ron, as long as I don't have to make the payments , or crawl under it to grease and change oil 😉 It looks the very part of a heavy logging unit that would most definitely be used on Vancouver Island, a nice honor too ... you nailed the look for sure !

BK9300 Posted May 31 Posted May 31 Ron, I like the drawings you use for your build designs. What program do you use? 1
ShakyCraftsman Posted May 31 Author Posted May 31 High Brian  Sketchbook on my phone. It's crapy little program, but it's all I have. My computer took a dump several years ago and it's to old for the new windows program. Ron G 1
BK9300 Posted May 31 Posted May 31 Well, what you produce with the program works out well - great for visualizing your project. 1 1

ShakyCraftsman Posted June 13 Author Posted June 13 (edited) Hey all  Well the "Buzzin Dozen" showed up today from Auslowe in Australia. This is a nice casting from Auslowe, but they did short me the air compressor.🤔 I replaced it with one from the parts box.  It's going to be a squeeze to fit it in the A.H. Kenworth, especially with the twin turbos. 580 H.P. / 1,450 lb-ft torque. Ron G Edited June 13 by ShakyCraftsman 2
