D8R-thanks-I chose the 777D because it is an earlier model and it goes well with my Marion shovel model. I have found a better way to make the tires to get a smooth finish on both sides so if the truck turns out really good I may make new tires. RCLogger-thank you-the truck is an odd scale (1/30). When I built the Marion shovel model I knew the 1-1 machine was really big so I made a drawing the size I wanted the model to be and it came out to 1/30 scale so I went with that. Then I made the truck to go with the shovel model. I will use a screw drive to lift the box and even that will be a challenge because there is very little room to work with. "Freddygeardrive" is going to help me with that and I'm sure I will need his expert guidance. I have a lot more work to do but I am enjoying it a lot.
