What cool trucks (rigs or pick ups) have you seen lately?


Recommended Posts

Even though I haven't seen it in quite a while, at one of my former jobs I got to see this rig quite often.

He hauled out of the warehouse I used to work at hauling cardboard and other shipping materials to a window plant in Paris, IL that the warehouse had a contract with. I also hauled the same to their WV plant, but my rig wasn't as pretty! :lol: I'm not sure of the year, but it was an old International 4300 not only decked out on the outside, but on the inside as well. I'll have to do some digging through old files to see if I have pics of the inside, but the dash was chromed out and it had a hardwood floor inside. I wasn't smart enough to make sure I had the camera with me, I had to do quite a bit of searching to finally find pics of this rig online.

Those rigs are all awesome.....I especially like that Transtar......Gives me one heck of an idea for another build..... :rolleyes:

Yeah JT, that is why I spent so much time hunting for pics online and kicking myself in the rear for not getting pics of it when I worked there!! I did find more, one or two may be small, some dummy saved thumbnails instead of the big pics (DOH!! :o ) but here they are.

And I goofed, the floor was tiled to match the front fenders and not wood.

Man, she is a beauty.....The pics seem to have come out all right.....Gorgeous.....I may have to repurpose an old Italeri 48'er for this one.....Gotta build something similar....In orange, of course..... :D

Believe me JT, it was even more gorgeous standing beside it, and it sounded just as sweet! My ex (who just happened to love chrome as much as me) seen it and started asking me about it. There was even one or two times I'd come home (since we only lived about a mile from the warehouse) and said she heard it coming and watched it go by!

I've decided that I'm gonna build that little pete. I'm gonna use a snapper so it won't be exact, but close enough for who I build for. I'm gonna do 2 snap petes. First is gonna be stretched out to 285 for the last livestock trailer and the little day cab. The stretched pete your gonna like it JT, it's gonna be like your orange KW.
