Default Re: FGD's 10x10 winch truck

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.
