-Lookin good Frank! You go with the smaller tire/wheel combo for the steering set? Bigger tires for the weight bearers.....I need to cough up a dual stack set in chrome, AND behind cab air intake/cleaner for a COE truck I'm gonna be building for my race team "Doomz Day"..... LOVE how you got the green paint to turn out!!!! That looks AWESOME! Cummins diesel turned out GREAT too! NICE work! |

thanks Mike if you get one, be prepared for part numbers that don't always match between directions and parts trees. luckily they have distinctive shapes  |

thanks John, i'll be using the bigger tires on the front for a more "beefy" look. Yeah they do that too! Beefin' the whole look up are ye? Question, whats the trucks main trailer load to be hauled? As with the bigger tires back woods travel would be a good indication of the big front tires for "mud" travel.....OR hauling coal, as the coal fields ALSO get muddy too! And some time large scrap yards have that same issue so the drivers/owners of the tractor, use large front tires for mud travel..... Just asking to see what sort of "work" your in-honor of tractor will be doing, have for a trailer.....IF you plan to add a trailer to it that is! |

Thee ONLY way to "model" logs is with LOGS! NICE work Frank..... I have to side with Ice, I haven't come back often enough so......BUT, I didn't recall seeing the log trailer for it, so thats why I asked.....
Like Denny said, Reality at its finest! You bet!

You say "been a while since you posted", well not being a truck guy, it's been even longer since i looked mate.
Great job on that dash, ( your welcome), and what a great job you are doing on the rest of it Frank,
The idea of real logs is GENIUS, and the paint has turned out great too mate. i will look for the next update..
