Brockway 361 /Montone Dump / Stavola Asphalt

[Scott Eriksen]

..........dump body attached to pivots,,might do something different with the mast cylinder,,,I have  some Amazon Chinesium telescopic back scratchers I've been thinking about ,cutting the stainless wont be fun though ,,,attached  the exhaust ,just have to do the outlet pipe,working on the air cleaner and piping,,,then I'll do the lights and mirrors

Always impressive, Scott!  What did you finally settle on to finish the diamond plate on top of the fenders?

I used BMF on that Brian ,,,oh and the Revell chrome on the radiator shell I hit with 2k clear when I did the cab,,,came out pretty good and now I don't have to worry about touching it,,,lol

[Gary Chastain]

Sure does look good Scott

[Scott Eriksen]

.............I used the back scratcher for the hyd cylinder,,,lol!  Got the air cleaner and tubing in,I'll make inner splash aprons on the fenders out of mudflap rubber

Need to see a link to those back scratchers - great 'sequential' lift cylinder!  That's got to work on all kinds of dump cylinder situations.

Great idea!  When you cut them off, do you loose the flare on the inner ones?  Looks like they might come apart if you aren't careful?

yeah,,what I did was wrap some thin masking tape on each barrel ,,which gave them a bit of resistance, the truck/dump body would never be displayed at an angle which would allow the sections to pull out anyway,,,I just tried it as an alternative to the kits wobbly plastic cylinder,,looks better IMHO

 I like the idea.  I've had a build that requires a pair of cylinders outboard of the frame.  The build stalled as I'm trying to figure out how to make it work as the cylinders sit almost vertically and they don't have any recesses in the body.  Thus a very short distance form the bottom of the cylinder support to the bottom of the dump body but they need to extend quite a ways to get the bed to dump.  Lots of segments!

I've put the skid plate on both Brockway dumps I've built.  Not sure I've seen them on the real thing but it does make them look tougher, especially with the squared fenders.

Yes that belly pan would be a classy touch for this beast

................got some bench time finally after a busy week of part timing,lol....and end of season yard work,,replaced a rotted out section of T-1-11 on my shed . She's almost done,,have to make up the tarp setup and a few more little items .I pinned the hood latches on so I can swing them down and be able to open the hood.Made my own mirrors with brass rod and Evergreen

That is an outstanding build, well done

[BK9300]

I agree - this truck's got a real presence to it.  Your mirrors turned out really well, too, and got to love the operating hood!  Awesome build, Scott.

[Biggu]

I agree with the guys, it is a beauty and everything period correct. Nothing beats a heavy gravel truck. This turned out really well Scott. It gives me some ideas for my up coming builds

[gotnitro?]

Nice build so far ! 

[Scott Eriksen]

She's done,,under glass ,while I'm gathering stuff for my next build which will be Global Scale's GMC 9500 on the AMT General chassis with a 6V-71 Detroit single rear oil delivery tank truck I'm gonna do the Schwinn bike kit like the one I had,,,it was like B5 Blue with a Pearl white banana seat 

[Gary Chastain]

Headed to under glass, but are you doing a build thread on the GMC?
