[CatdrvR]

Wow! Another stunning truck. I think she is gonna be a great ride once you finish up the doors for the body and throw some color on her. Is the crane going to be controlled fully by remote control? I can't wait to see some videos in action. Keep up the great work!

Dan

[trucker n]

[chaseracer]

very nice job on the service truck, the whole thing looks great. it is almost ready for a service call.

[kenworth]

I like this idea better than the flatbed one. Nice one man.

[Stylin n profilin]

Looks great Travis....Now all you have to do is get that thing on a jobsite and start yanking motors out of machines:D

[JAMMER]

Travis hello great job on the service truck I got a road call can you handle it? Ed:confused:

[9W Monighan]

I may need your service truck when we take the dragline out and we have to attach the bucket since the chains on it are sooo heavy:D

[Radiowave Trucking]

Nice looking truck!

[fhhhstix]

Thanks for the compliments guys they are appreciated.

Travis

[sparkycuda]

Greg

[fhhhstix]

I need to get some decals made for a couple of the trucks so I am waiting and I will have the guy at the sign shop do them all at once and it does'nt hurt to wait till later in the winter when he is slow and it will also give me some time to save some cash as I have spent the decal fund on parts.:D

Travis

[russisloud]

this looks like it was really a fun truck to build!

[mazdaparts]

Great looking service truck. Does the crane spin 360? Need to get the shop tools and stuff from the Northern tool catalog.

[fhhhstix]

Ya Russ this was a fun truck to do and I had been wanting to do it for a while and Freddy posted his so I just had to build it I couldn't let him beat me to it again.

It will spin 360 once and then you better reverse direction.:D


And thanks for the compliments they are appreciated.

[rc_farmer]

Travis, that is a nice service truck.

[M.Fischersworring]

Hi Travis
We do not have Service Trucks like this here in Europe.
Could you give me an overview for which sort of Service they are used over there?
BTW,the Concept is clear and practical and your Model is a very nice and clean Build.
Waiting for more Pics....

Michael this truck would be used for service and repair on machines to big to transport to one of our shops. The two trucks we have at work that are similar to this do service work at the mines in southern Indiana.

[M.Fischersworring]

Hi Travis

[hammer]

Travis,
Sweet truck man. Your going to need a service truck for Indy this year to fix your truck after it is destroyed in the demolition derby...

TONY

[skeeter]

AWESOME build! I just happened to stumble upon it while larking around here. I just needs an air compresor, & Miller welder bolted to the body, & it'll be completely finished looking.
