ACCEL 2014 Posted May 16, 2020 ok, i'm not starting this right away, it had my attention some time ago. My Father in-law had a 52' International dually stakebed truck, this reminded me of that, we used it quite often, my brother in-law had it for a while and then sold it. We always kept it clean and running it was in fair shape. This build will bring forgotten memories back and it shall be rugged and grand, i'll weatherize and rusterize this project. So here's to you Popsie! And weighing in, in this section of the house at................................................................................................................................... 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Superluminal 3730 Posted May 16, 2020 That boxart is really nice. I much prefer that to a generic box with a photo sticker on it. Shown much more care. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ACCEL 2014 Posted May 27, 2020 I've been gathering my Train's weathering materials of different powders and art pencils and paints for this build. oh when you'er rusty as i am, you just pass the age around, i'm opposite of Midas, every thing on this build i'll touch will age and turn to rust, not gold Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ACCEL 2014 Posted November 13, 2020 Finally broke the box's seals, metal wheels (rims) Leaf springs are plastic with metal hardware. Trani's plastic but has substantial weight to it Gas Tank is plastic and is for electronics (not really for gas) these were already assembled so as to the rear end and front suspension, which i'll tear down so i can see what's going on and re-lube with my alchemy now these here below are extreme Heavy Metal! I mean for Pete sake, it does say KING KONG how much more heavy duty can this truck be? i'll tell ya, Godzilla 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Re-Bugged 10008 Posted November 14, 2020 Careful that motor doesn’t shake the nails out of the timber tipper body on the back!! But I’d hazard a guess you’ve got an aluminum hop up coming to replace the ancient timbers?😉😃 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they've taken that much care with foam inserts for the box it must be a really good quality kit 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
