Oilfield King Hauler

[Espeefan]

Pretty nice work so far! I like that this truck is different and unique. I kind of like the shorter look, as the one photo you posted first, shows a shorter oilfield truck, and the length of your model looks like a match. I would throw the fuel tanks under the cab and get rid of the battery box steps. That would solve the question of where to put the tanks.

Nice metal work! I think the length is right, as you well know these oilfield winch trucks aren't all 300-400" wheelbase monsters! You could put a tank under one door and the battery box under the other. We get 1:1's through here spec'd like that all the time. Those trucks don't run coast to coast so they don't need to carry alot of fuel, save the room for other goodies

Thanks for checking mine out.

Don't know if you got an idea for a trailer yet but check out this link if you haven't already. I like the pictures they have plus the drawings with dimensions! Makes it easy to scale They have an oil field float which would go nice with your build With your metal working ability it should be a breeze!

Something like this? A tool box would still fit under either side of the winch cage.
