Awesome build. The patch does have some very unique trucks. I was a bulk cement truck driver for Schlumberger for a year. Great experience.

Lizard, would this fit the bill? If so, be patient! Someone has this in the works, as well as the planetary wheels and possibly the tires. I will let you know more when I know more. Les  |

Well I'll try to make a long story short.
Fronts are from a caster that I bought like 10 years ago. Combined the rim and tire from Mr. Smith and made the master, then cast in resin. I only added the GrantLine bolts after I pulled from the mold.
Rear rims are from Mr. R Smith. I made the tires from a 10x20 sidewall and tread from a Dodge Ramcharger tire. Made the master and cast in resin.
Inner rear tires are also cast in a half mold, I just put 2 pces together.
So there you have it, I have abouit a 100 bucks wrapped up just in the wheels and tires. I still have the molds, they are not in too bad of shape. I just don't have any resin right now.
Kit pieces so far:
rear ends
steer axle
drive shaft U-joints
front leafs and trunnions
rear walking beams only
KW rad surround from Alaskan Hauler? piece from swap meet grab bag?
butterfly hood from same?
six frame crossmembers.
Pete cab from trade on truckstop forum, plastictrucker (awesome friend)
Made parts:
frame & couple crossmembers
rad front and louvers
rear suspension trunnions
all rubber block components and walking beam trunnion
all wheels and front tires cast with others originals
rear tires my castings
front fenders
front bumper
winch from Robert Smith, plumbing, accs, and structure by me
