Pete 357 tri-axle dump Finally done!! 1/1/12

[Snowman]

Absolutely top notch work Brian, just comparing with the photo in your avatar, it's a facsimile. Even the little details like the visor, it is precisely like the one on your truck in the picture. Obviously the product of a lot of patience, precision and attention to detail.

just keeps getting better and better.Great job there.

Just wondering

Alfy

Thanks! Alfy! I put them 1/4 inch on center. Scale should really be alot closer but That gives it enough to carture the right look.

Brian, your build never cease to amaze! The box is coming together great!

A sweet replica! Had to photoshop a lil mockup here:

Yea thats a good pic for me to go off of to finnish your parts

[Heavy Metal]

Brian this thing is fantastic. The dump box, the grill, the body, all the high end aluminum and shiny metal work from guys here and machine shops you're using...just first class all of it. This right here is what I'm shootin' for in a build. Love it. Thanks for sharing. Joe

[Brian in PA]

Thanks again guys for all the compliments! Here are some more updated pics!

[petermoblin]

Sweet. Love the working coal door.

[Stepside]

Lovin' the detail! This is one of those builds that just keeps getting better and better!

[Snowman]

That is one of a kind right there, really great detail. It's the kind of thing you could never sell to anyone because of all the blood sweat and tears invested in it. Can't put a price on that.

[sneaky-pete]

I don't see how it's possible to top your daycab.......but I think this will
be your best work yet!

[MACK Daddy]

Looking Real Sweet !!

Alfy

[Snochaser]

Awesome! Like it a lot. Great job on the bed, Brian. Great detail.

[Espeefan]

Coming along very, very nicely, Brian! The more I keep looking at your trucks, the more I feel like giving these Tamiya rigs another go around, but I'm not much of a styrene working king, like you are! The dump box looks great!

[bigpipespete]

That looks amazing , detail is excellent.

[Brian in PA]

Thanks guys!!

[Hockeydad]
