[FreddyGearDrive]

Here's a shortened version of this build. Or conversion from dump to service truck.
This is what she looked like after removing dump box. U...G...L...Y!

Hey Freddy Awsome ride ..you will have to get some shots of the welding cables streched out to the bucket on the hoe..Do a little hard surfacing..Oh by the way ..I was doggin you about getting a vice for the back bumper at GTF..Turned out perfect

[Beans]

Pretty incredible pops. One of your best builds.

[Daddy Dellagio]

Is there anything that you cant build? Every time I see a new truck I think to my self freddy did it again another amazing feat. Would you ever think about building some military vehicles?

[Cossett]

Good looking work truck and gen trailer it's amazing what can with a standard kit

Cheers Cossett

[Radiowave Trucking]

Another great build Freddy!!

[JAMMER]

Fred have we had any service calls yet? With all this equipment you'll be out of business. Ed

[CatdrvR]

I gotta say that I wish she was mine! This is definitely one of my favorite builds recently. The detail in this truck is exceptional. The crane with hydraulics is just too cool. You may have inspired me to make my own service truck... for CAT equipment of course... even though CAT equipment never breaks down. ;)

Freddy when did you make that generator, how many Watt's does it put out? Haven't started on my Helicopter yet but I'll have it finnished in time to air lift you out when needed. UNC

[trucker n]

[Slick]

Wow that truck looks better than most real ones!

[elephants14]

Freddy, This truck was actually the deciding factor on my decision to buy the Aeromax.

Thanks
Cody

[Smokin Joe]

Impressive, absolutely impressive! I drove a service truck and repaired mobile
generators. You nailed it.

[BRICKNICK]

Wow freddy, that is one **** of a nice build. Very creative/scale, in fact I think that is the most detailed scale semi build ive seen yet in this hobby. Nice job man.

[FreddyGearDrive]

WOW! THANKS GUYS! Those are some really nice complements!
Almost seems like you boys miss Ole-Geardrive. I had to wipe a tear from my eyes before I could type this.
VERY soon I'll be back to reclaim my spot as #5 builder on this board!:rolleyes:
So Travis,don't get to comfy! :D:D:D
I'LL BE BACK!
FGD :D

[SWAGGER]

Oh my God I love this thing!! Holy crap, you are good man. I just also read your thread on the F350 Dually. You are pretty good at shoe horning hydraulics into these builds.

Is that a PMD trailer hitch? Was just looking at that on gardentrucking, nice to see it installed, looks like good kit.

Out of curiosity, how many channels does this truck use and how many does teh F350 use?

Cheers,
Steve.

[chaseracer]

wow freddy that truck looks great, I have to say probably one of my favorite trucks. awesome build

[FreddyGearDrive]

Wow! Glad you like the build.
Steve the service truck & F-350 both use two radio's taped together so I have joy stick comin out my ears. The service truck right now needs 7 channels to operate. But there is a 4 spool in the truck of which only 2 spools are in use at this time. Once I build the hydraulic beaver tail equiptment trailer,then I'm gunna need 8-9 channels.:eek:
The F-350 needs 7 also.
That pintle hitch is from PMD. I think they look great! Rc4wd also has one that works better,but is 10th scale. It looks a tad to big mounted on the trucks.
Yea,I'm kinda itchin to build the trailer,but have way to much on my plate to jump into that right now.
Steve & chaser,Thanks for the nice complements!
Thanks for lookin!
