International Transtar Eagle self loader logging truck

[bitner]

Here's some pics of my in progress International self loader logging truck. My dad built the self loader unit for me as a birthday present. It's fully functional in all respects. He's started making them as projects now so hopefully he'll get me another. It's really cool that it all works. I stretched the frame in two places, and added the trailer lifting device behind the bunks. It's actually a lot bigger than I thought it would be.

Now that is some seriously nice scratchbuilding with the lifter,

I will look forward to seeing more of this well detailed project

Cool! Excellent use of a left over fuel tank.

Thanks guys:

I sent dad the link to this site and others, he said he will probably join when he gets a camera that takes good pictures. The truck is coming along nicely. It's black and white, with a 350 Cummings and Spicer aux transmission. It's a twin stick now:)

Cheers:
