Re: Paystar 5000
 

Finally got a little progress done on this. Made up a front bumper for it. Need to sand and repaint it, the masking tape pulled some paint off when I removed it. Mounted a polised deck plate, fuel tanks,winch, headache rack and antenneas.

Re: Paystar 5000
 

looks good Fred

Re: Paystar 5000
 

Thanks Steve!!! Been to long since I worked on this. Paystars have always been my favorite truck. Thinking I might be needing some custom boxes for the frame.

Re: Paystar 5000
 

Re: Paystar 5000
 

Thank you much Paul!!

Re: Paystar 5000
 

Awesome job Fred, I love the colors and the truck just looks tough. Nice work as usual.

Re: Paystar 5000
 

I like it!
Cheers, Neil.

Re: Paystar 5000
 

That trailer is impressive, but I really like your Paystar. Nice job with all the styrene work that went into it. I've never been very good with styrene.

Re: Paystar 5000
 

hey fred you keep churning out the old school builds...and each one is more unique than the last one.i like your thinking..i love my real 85 kw and love seeing the old school builds .you are one of the many on this forum thats like christmas day for me whenever you introduce another new build...keep them coming my friend .i have a couple of ideas i am kicking around .going to try to to more of the extensive styrene work myself ...who knows maybe....:D:D

Re: Paystar 5000
 

Great work so far man. I really like that red color.

Re: Paystar 5000
 

Thanks Keith !!!
Thanks Neil !!!
Thanks !! I love that trailer, the problem with it is its HUGE! Styrene gets easier every time you use it.
Thanks Dewayne !!! You have a killer fleet yourself !!! Plus 1:1 KW. Cant wait to see what you come up with. That was my 2nd build my first was my pete 346 mixer. That was my first experience with styrene, learned as I went along.
Thanks !!! Red is a great color for a heavy haul.

Re: Paystar 5000
 

wow! looking nice!

Re: Paystar 5000
 

This truck looks awesome! Quite the scratch-built rig! Is the bumper going to be red to match the cab?

Re: Paystar 5000
 

Thanks !!
Thanks !! It was fun building the cab. Im going to keep the bumper safety yellow.

Re: Paystar 5000
 

The Paystars coming along great fred, did you make the front bumper out of styrene?

Re: Paystar 5000
 

Wow Fred what a great looking truck ..great styrene work ..I sure like these working class trucks with the flat fenders ..makes sense I think especially when its time to wash your front windows ..lol

Re: Paystar 5000
 

Thanks!! The bumper is styrene, gonna add tow hooks to it.
Thanks!! My first plow truck was a paystar. With out a doubt it easier to clean the windsheild. I like the look of flat fender trucks, they look mean like a true work horse.

Re: Paystar 5000
 

simply awesome work your skills are second to none...top work mate

Re: Paystar 5000
 

nice looking truck.

Re: Paystar 5000
 

Thanks Guys !!!

Re: Paystar 5000
 

i love the color you choose for the frame. details are comming along good and the front bumper is killer. awesome!!

Re: Paystar 5000
 

Fred, this is an awesome truck, I love the color combo and the fenders are spot on. Nice job.

Re: Paystar 5000
 

Thanks much guys!!!

Re: Paystar 5000
 

Finally got a dump trailer.Started with a flatbed frame and dayton rims.Thinking about putting a lift axle on it.

Re: Paystar 5000
 

Hey Fred I know a guy who can make that dump for you and congratulations on getting one of Freddygeardrive's dump beds.

Travis

Re: Paystar 5000
 

Thanks! Was going to pm ya for a few screw drives. Actually got 3 of FGD dump boxes.

Re: Paystar 5000
 

im liking that single wheel lift axle. daytons look great on there!

Re: Paystar 5000
 

Nice looking trailer. I like that lift axle idea, with the smaller tires on it. It's perfect.

Re: Paystar 5000
 

Thanks guys !! The Dayton's give it an old school look. Need to order a suspension for the lift axle.

Re: Paystar 5000
 

Great looking build.

Re: Paystar 5000
 

Thanks! Hoping to get back at it.

Re: Paystar 5000
 

With everybody building dump trucks it made me rethink my heavy haul.So I put my dumpbed on and tag wheels for mock up.The bed has to be raised and cab sheild reworked.Lets hear some feedback, heavy haul or dump truck?[IMG]http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...ps76858d9e.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...ps6395f209.jpg[/IMG]

Re: Paystar 5000
 

Looks good both ways, better get to making another cab. :)

Re: Paystar 5000
 

This is pretty much what I was going to say. Another option would be making the dump body self contained so to speak and easily removable. Then make a low profile bed with fenders, fifth wheel, winch and headache rack or what ever that you drop on the frame for the heavy hauler. The bed on the truck in my avitar mounts with six screws, every thing comes off to the bare rails including fifth wheel and its servo and linkage. Just a thought, the dump does look good!

Re: Paystar 5000
 

Might have to make another cab for the heavy haul,might have to be a twin steer this time.Making the dumpbed removable wouldnt be an option.

Re: Paystar 5000
 

I vote dump truck, here's a link for some twin steer picture's for idea's, http://www.raydanmfg.com/?page=media&section=gallery There are a few Paystar's intermeshed with the rest of there builds.
Cheer's, Neil.

Re: Paystar 5000
 

Thanks Neil. There some great reference pics there. Thinking the dump is the way to go.

Re: Paystar 5000
 

I vote you send me that black and orange KW cab lol

Other then that I say dump why not? a twin steer Paystar dump would be a one of a kind!

Re: Paystar 5000
 

Thats a great idea Aaron was wondering what I should do about that KW. Probably be easier sending it to you then wiping the dust off of it. Lol. I do like that bed on there. Started cutting up a KH cab we'll see where it goes.
