20dakota04 Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 (edited) I started this truck about two months ago and the it just stalled. So I got some resin parts 3406b,tires all around and a lift axle. This jump started it again and I made a headache rack for it. Edited September 11, 2010 by 20dakota04
Kostas Parchas Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 WOW You are of to a good start and kkep it that way lol I like the tyres, the rims, the lift axle, the headache rack... COOL RIG!!! Just a sugestion, I like the kit front bumper but this rig will look better with a Texas style bumper. Kostas.
ARTEMIS1759 Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 That is cool though the head ache rack makes me think it would be a good roll away. That is on truck my dad never had was a rollaway. A few wreckers though. But it looks great keep it up.
Jim B Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 Looks really nice. I like what you've done with it so far.
mistermodel Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 Great start.I think these things are rugged looking.Glad you took the lug tires off the steering axle.I must disagree about the texas bumper,maybe a "box" bumper like an AMT alaskan hauler KW would look good with the heavy look your going for.All your builds look great,so I'm sure what you build will have the porportions and look.

highway Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 It looks like you are off to a great start. I have one question, though. It looks like in one pic, the front of the cab is tilting forward slightly, are you having problems with the cab and hood lining up correctly, too? I'm building a Ford LTL 9000 currently as well with a custom sleeper, and with the cab taped to the front sleeper wall the way everything is supposed to be lined up, the cab and hood line up perfectly, but the interior does not sit on the frame mounts. If I just have the cab and hood with the interior mounts sitting on the frame, the cab nose dives and does not line up with the hood. Are you having similar problems?

I haven't really messed with the cab and hood yet, sometimes it lines up.
highway Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 sometimes it lines up. Sounds about like mine, sometimes it will, sometimes it doesn't.
mistermodel Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 Sounds about like mine, sometimes it will, sometimes it doesn't. I have found that whatever conventional I build I have an issue.I now mount the hood then play with the cab mounts to make it fit the hood. Kevin
toplessfury Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 nice!! where did you get the steer tires from?? i need some nice ones(chrome) for the rear.
Mark R Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 nice!! where did you get the steer tires from?? i need some nice ones(chrome) for the rear. I agree where did you get the heavy axle tires ? And the 3406 cast ? This will look good when done !
20dakota04 Posted June 10, 2010 Author Posted June 10, 2010 I agree where did you get the heavy axle tires ? And the 3406 cast ? This will look good when done ! The liftaxle tires and the 3406 came from Gary Wallace and the drive tires came from Ebay. Here is Gary's email gwtrucks@yahoo.com
20dakota04 Posted June 10, 2010 Author Posted June 10, 2010 A little more work done on the headache rack.
Jim B Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 Nice rack! I like the little details you're putting on it.
Scalper Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 Looks cool even without paint I like unpainted Racks
highway Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 Made a pintle hook tonite also. That looks very real, how did you make it?
20dakota04 Posted September 11, 2010 Author Posted September 11, 2010 I changed out the rear fenders, they match the front fenders better. Just trying to get back into building.
codie27 Posted September 11, 2010 Posted September 11, 2010 Good work so far. This is gonna look really cool when you finish it.
