kilrathy10 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) Just look what you guys have gone and made me do.....Everywhere I look I see these things all over the forum....All I can think of is that I want one, too.... Well, since I don't have a Papa Truck bed, I had to make my own....Just your basic ramp truck, not meant to represent any particular manufacturer or anything.....Just what I can see from other's posts....Lots of eyeballin'.....Ain't no plans....AND, I get to do one of my favorite things to a truck.....STREEEEETCH !!!! I worked the better part of the day to get this far....The sun was out and the humidity was down....Excellent weather for painting....About 70 degrees.....

Old Buckaroo Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Most Excellent work ! What thickness of styrene did you use for the sides ? I am concerned though about the lack of Orange on your builds. What do you plan on hauling on the deck ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olsbooks Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Most impressive my friend! You are going to have a hard time convincing anyone this is engineering on the fly though..... Blue with fade to orange perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kilrathy10 Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 Lol.....I do miss the orange, and as this project isn't finished, yet....I'm SERIOUSLY contemplating locating some more orange.....I really like that color.....Every time I look at this, I think.....I gotta slap some orange on it.....That's the only reason this thing isn't finished, yet.....

Custom Hearse Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Looks awesome J.T.! The ramp bed is really a great looking build. Are you gonna add a race truck to it, or are you going to surprise us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam I Am Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 That is a sharp looking bed. Do you happen to still have the templates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilrathy10 Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 Thanks for chiming in with your comment, Sam.....This has, since, been completed, but I'm sorry....I don't use templates or plans of any sort....I kinda "wing" just about everything I do.....It's just like sketching, to me....I look at something and then I lay it down....Just in plastic, instead of paper......But thank you for your interest....

Sam I Am Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 While the finished product is stunning. I find I learn more in the WIPs. Next time, make some templates so you can scan them and share them with people like me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilrathy10 Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 I suppose I could, maybe, whip one up.....Just don't ever think about it on something like this one....Figured I'd only make one, anyway....I'll see what I can do.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam I Am Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Just some basic measurements that can be taken from the finished model would be nice.(bed and ramps) That would give me an idea for when I build my own. I have one of the "Racers Edge" kits, but that is more for a dually pu, and while I was going to modify it for a big rig, maybe it would be easier just to scratch one. Hope I am not causing any trouble, and do appreciate all the input. I have a Bison started and just cannot figure which way to go with it. Car Hauler, log truck, dump truck...

kilrathy10 Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 Hey, a Bison would look good as a car hauler....Another guy built on like that, and it turned out cool....Just give me a couple of days to get around to it and I'll PM you....I have my daughter, this weekend and need to entertain her for a bit....She's playing WII, now, so I get a little break....I'll get to it, soon as I can, though....

Sam I Am Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I appreciate it. Oh, and I bet she beats your butt on the Wii. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
