[Pipeliner_970]

Hey Freddy, thought i'd open up a thread for ya to get you motivated on that project you were supposed to start forever ago back at the garden with that sweet 10x10 chassis you had layin around.

I've been lookin forward to, and patiently waitin for this 10x10 oil field bed truck for a loooong time now, so heres your kick in the rear, I wanna see it!

Remember the inspiration pic???

Was toyin w/starting that long lost idea of oil rig. Then I come on here this mornin & :eek:! Now that's scary! When did that old memory hit you?
Don't even tell me like 12:00 est yesterday.If so,or close,maybe your spoda be buildin this baby.
Enough of the telepathic stuff & on wit the buildin!
Turns out just happen to have what is needed to but this beast together. So hopefully this one won't cost a ton to bring to reality.
Last time I was gunna build this baby couldn't make up my mind on which cab to use. It was a toss up between ford & pete. But now that I look at this picture again,guess the pete would be the best.
Whatcha boys think on that cab topic?
Ok Marty,Now that the thread is started & the parts are out,WE have one little problem. I have no idea how big this baby is. By lookin at how small the dozer looks next to it,I'de say she has some girth to er.
So....!Marty,since we're partners in this build,I guess your part is the measurements???:D:D
I'm ready on my end!Other than my undies jammed in the crack of my butt,From the kick in the pants! Hows it lookin on your end??? :D:D

Pete for sure! Not sure about the length though but must have BIG tires and what looks like chains on them.

[Pipeliner_970]

Well now, guess I just got the ole shoe leather boost from behind right back, didn't I? :eek:

The memory came to me bout 9:30 last night, so there was a bit of a delay in the telepathic signal, guess the telepathy service is just as crappy as the cell service out here in North Dakota. :D

Anyhow, I don't have any info on that truck on hand, so I'll have to do some researchin on them measurements, ya kinda caught me with my pants down. :o

So what kinda measurements do WE need? Length, wheelbase, width, tire size, bed length, all of the above?

Let me know what kinda info ya need and i'll do what I can to help, since I opened my trap and stuck my foot in it. :D:D

[Bigrigger]

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, it says 10x10. You realize that's an 8x8 right?:rolleyes:

[mog]

well there is lost's of great pic on this site freddy www.camex.ca if you look at the bottum of this page http://www.camex.ca/new-equipment/bed-trucks.html there are some PDF with info on them a small truck would be about 270" bed all the way up to 400" i would say your truck should be closer to the 400" can't weght to see what you come up with love your bilds

AAWWWW! Now Marty! Here I thought you were all over this thing??
Figured those measurements were right on the tip of your tongue.
Now WE have the fire wood,gas & no matches????
As far as me comin up with the needed dimentions,I'de never seen one till you posted the pic of it. & have no clue what it's even called.
Never even seen one of these babies on swamp loggers! :D
& highly doubt I'll find any in good ole-NY.
So.......Marty,Looks like the load is on your shoulders for now!
Also,WE need to know if this thing is front wheel drive. By lookin at this pic,I would say it's only rear wheel drive.If it is front drive,now gotta git fancy w/the gearing between front & rear.See'ins on how the front & rear tires are different dia.HMMM,Looks like you picked a good one for OUR build. I'M IN! & yea! WE need as much info as you can git.
Also,does this thing dump or anything special like that?
Good thing today is labor day! It'll give you some time to research our project.:D Good luck! May the tapemeasure gods be w/you!

is this what is called a texas bed?

[Stuff]

ill note that here these trucks rarely have live front axles. mostly rear wheel drive only. thats what cats are for :D

[Vanisle]

FGD It looks like you have a good start on this bed truck - you should do it. Mog is right, that is a Mullen truck and looks like a 360-380 WB C500 with planetaries. As mog noted, Camex is a great site for bed trucks; pickers and winch trucks too. As Stuff said, driven front axles in real life on bed trucks are rare but I guess chains and planetaries with push cats when needed gets the job done. I think I've seen one 8x8 on Camex in the last 5 years (never seen a 10x10 or 10x4). On an RC model though, definitely need front drive axles.

The great thing about Camex is that they have large photos. Not very prototypical but it could haul your new skidder around.

Here's a little different bed truck to make:

Yea! Now that babies bad to the bone!Thanks for the link! I even have both of those style tires already.Was gunna make a hot rod bug sprayer,but this is way kooler. Might just give that one a crack.

[Stuff]

its the same truck but with flotation tires on it. they use them for the muddy season. sometimes that is the only way to get a rig on or off lease!!

that trailer is SICK though!!!!

[FreddyGearDrive]

Now how in the world? Do they git away with haulin that baby on puplic roads all slopped full of mud like that?? Man!If I hauled one of my machines around lookin like that,I'de be in hotel green bar so fast.I wouldn't know what hit me!:eek: I had some mud fall of one of my tracks & a cop was behind me,he pulled me over so fast it wasn't even funny.& I had cleaned the tracks the best I could w/a shovel.It was like a hand full of dirt.You would of thought I dumped a 18yrd load in the street!:eek::eek:
So after my full DOT spot check,& a good ole-a$$ chewin,he let me go.
Just a good thing I had 4 chains & binders on machine,or it would have been FINE city! Most of the lazy shyts around here,try to git away with only use'in two.If you get an unsecure load ticket here,your better off shootin the cop & makin a run for it,than waitin to see just how bad the judge is gunna wreck your life w/fines.
DOT up there in good ole-Canada must be a different animal than here in NY.
Stuff? is that a tractor that's hooked to the trailer in that pic?

BTW,Anyone seen pipeliner around??? :D

[firefighter-1177]

ya Freddy here in Michigan dot is the same way. If you look at a weight master wrong they will make you regret getting out of bed.

[ihbuilder]

yea 10-4 Freddy I had 1 spec of dirt roll of the side board and the flippin flat foot just about pulled his gun on me when I told him he pronounced my name wrong .

[Snochaser]

I vote for a KW cab! what axles are you using here?

[mog]

ya that bed truck is sweet i have had the chance to see that thing work and man dose it work. 740 cat ADT that is tune up to about 1000 hp and a big bed with 2 huge winches. man dose it sound nice when they get on the skinny petal.

[Stuff]

ya try to prove it came off that truck here. Heck you can claim the guy next to you at the parking lot hit your car and get your car re-painted. all you need is make, model, colour, and plate #. if you say you saw it happen and the other person does not have a witness then the poor sap gets 6 points on their license for an "at fault accident"

my parents had a semi pass them and a rock came off the deck, the rock hit just under the windshield and did about 4k damage to the mini van. they called the company that owned the truck and the guy just said "prove it". SGI (sk govt insurace) said nothing they can do.

[td9clyde]

hello hellooooooooo any updates? pics anything? lol :)

[FreddyGearDrive]

I haven't even started on it yet. I can't believe there's two pages of thread & no buildin posted yet.:D It's amazing how we can go for one thing to another on one topic.Well...at least when I start the build,the thread is already buzzin. I do have all the parts rounded up for it.
Now just have to finish the ones that need paint(5) & then can bite into this baby.
Guys thanks for the pics & info.Will be a big help when this does get under way.

[russisloud]

i know just how you feel man, i get started on one build and then have to do another. unfinished ones can sit around a long time...

[uk trucker]

yep, I know that feeling.....for my sins I've just started a 3 axle oil field truck, brilliant inspiration from these posts.
Still a bit strange looking to UK eyes, big long truck with the wheels at either end.

[Robb]

I was driving the mullen bed truck hauling the d 6, I drove that bed truck for 2 years, if you have any questions concerning dimensions I would be happy to share them for your build.

[Robb]

I was driving the mullen bed truck in the picture with the d 6 cat hanging off the roll, I drove that truck for 2 years and if you need any dimensions I would accommodate you in your build
