[plow jockey]

I thought I had this thread posted here. Not sure where this build is going.Frirst thought was doing the KONG wrecker,or a plow truck.I,m thinking now to do an old school dump truck or heavy haul.Here are some pics of the build. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/paystar/Picture525.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/paystar/Picture489.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/paystar/Picture497.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/paystar/Picture500.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/paystar/Picture508.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/paystar/Picture528.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/paystar/Picture547.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/paystar/Picture954.jpg I have it on a 6X6 chassis for mock up.

I need some input on this build.Heavy hauler or Dump truck?????? Took the cab of my other project to get an idea of what way to go.It only made it worse.Lets hear some feedback. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/paystar/002-1.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/paystar/004.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/paystar/005.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/paystar/006.jpg The heavy haul would have 2 winches,aluminum headache rack,aluminum fenders,beacon and work lights.

[dabears]

i like the dump route but mainly cause i want one lol. I like the way it looks there with the dump body but i personally would make it a tandom instead of a tri. just my .02.. Either way it'll look great!!

[egronvold]

Great job on the cab and dumpbox. It should not be a problem to make it both a dump truck and heavy hauler, just make sure the box is easy to remove.

[spudd]

Any up date?

[Tamiya Cowboy]

This is a cool build one of my Fav old school dumpers right here.. Do a green frame with red and white wheels red center and white rim ring that combo looks great on this old truck

I like the dump as well,but not happy with the box I built after seeing some of the other hand built ones.So I might go heavy haul.

Thanks.I wish it was that easy.
Any up date?
Nope.Waiting on parts and working on my other projects.Never enough time or money.
This is a cool build one of my Fav old school dumpers right here.. Do a green frame with red and white wheels red center and white rim ring that combo looks great on this old truckThanks.The multi colored rims would nail it for sure.I ordered a set of 6 spoke daytons From Steve, just waiting.Those daytons would give it the right old school look needed.I would like to find some one who could build me a more realistic dump bed.I dont like the stamped metal ones from garden trucking,so I'm at a stand still on this build.

[Diesel Demond]

in my opinion that truck is tough no matter what and havent seen any others. i also think dump or concrete mixer cause i drove a paystar concrete truck for cemstone here in st. paul and if you missed a gear it hurt your hand!

I think you might be right about the mixer,just put the cab on my mixer.Bad a$$.Thanks for your input I'll try to post some pics this week.

[Diesel Demond]

yep it was front wheel drive with 2 pusher axles and 1 tag axle that thing would go through anything except 6 feet of sand . snapped a drive shaft when she got a hoppin!

[plow jockey]

Pulled it down from the shelf and done a little work to it.6x6 chassis, RC4WD r2 trans and punisher shafts, 55t motor.I'm gonna mount the headache rack and winch after I make a deck plate. It's my heavy haul truck, for my perimeter trailerHere are some pics dust included. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/paystar/002-2.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/paystar/003-2.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/paystar/004-1.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/paystar/005-1.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/paystar/007-1.jpg

Fred, this rig is perfect. Loving the 6x6, can't wait to see it hooked up and rolling. VERY NICE work.

Thanks Keith. Years ago I built a paystar glider for Martin ent. It was a tri axle, ill see if i can find some pics. They run these trailers, heavy haul and demolition. So I thought it would be the right truck for the trailer. Thanks for letting it go.

[404]

I love where this is going, that trailer is an absolute beast!
It would look sweet with those red spoke wheels on it too.

[dabears]

Looking great Fred!!! This one is going to be a sweet looking combo!

[TRUCKMAKER]

Fred the truck is looking good, always a fan of "Heavy".:cool: Is there a build thread on the trailer?

[Radio Control Trucker]

It's coming along really well Fred. :) It's really starting to look like a truck. :p

I agree with TRUCKMAKER: Fred the truck is looking good, always a fan of "Heavy".:cool: Is there a build thread on the trailer?

I'd love to see how the trailer's being built and follow it's progress. :D :D

[TRUCKMAKER]

Fred,Thanks for the link to the trailer build thread! This is the kind of equipment I like. Also nice pictures you added. I do like the black wheels on the Paystar glider you built, the model would look good with them too.

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. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/paystar/001_zpsd6ed4ddb.jpg (http://s1262.photobucket.com/user/snowplowjockey/media/paystar/001_zpsd6ed4ddb.jpg.html) http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/paystar/008_zps052f1518.jpg (http://s1262.photobucket.com/user/snowplowjockey/media/paystar/008_zps052f1518.jpg.html) http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/paystar/007_zpsb3fe0ee3.jpg (http://s1262.photobucket.com/user/snowplowjockey/media/paystar/007_zpsb3fe0ee3.jpg.html) http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/paystar/006_zpsee1118bf.jpg (http://s1262.photobucket.com/user/snowplowjockey/media/paystar/006_zpsee1118bf.jpg.html)

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.

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Awesome Fred!!

[Espeefan]

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.

[1985 kenworth]

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

[tbtrucking104customs]

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

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

Thanks !!! Red is a great color for a heavy haul.

[Stuff]

wow! looking nice!

[Bigrigger]

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

[plow jockey]

wow! looking nice!
Thanks !!

[TRUCKMAKER]

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

[tracksntreadslou]

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

[plow jockey]

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

Finally got a dump trailer.Started with a flatbed frame and dayton rims.Thinking about putting a lift axle on it. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/Dump%20trailer/004_zpsea8ce795.jpg (http://s1262.photobucket.com/user/snowplowjockey/media/Dump%20trailer/004_zpsea8ce795.jpg.html) http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/Dump%20trailer/007_zpsc6dcf678.jpg (http://s1262.photobucket.com/user/snowplowjockey/media/Dump%20trailer/007_zpsc6dcf678.jpg.html) http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/Dump%20trailer/006_zpscc43a7f1.jpg (http://s1262.photobucket.com/user/snowplowjockey/media/Dump%20trailer/006_zpscc43a7f1.jpg.html)

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?http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/paystar/012_zps76858d9e.jpg (http://s1262.photobucket.com/user/snowplowjockey/media/paystar/012_zps76858d9e.jpg.html) http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii607/snowplowjockey/paystar/013_zps6395f209.jpg (http://s1262.photobucket.com/user/snowplowjockey/media/paystar/013_zps6395f209.jpg.html)

[Snochaser]

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

[TRUCKMAKER]

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

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!

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.

[doodlebug]

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.

[dabears]

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!

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.

[22fatcat]

:DThat thing is looking real good can't wait to see it with the grill guard:D

[Lmackattack]

I like it . me personally I would louse the pusher axel That way it will get around better in the off road...keep the pics coming

[Supermario]

It happens a lot on this forum. You see someone's truck and think that's perfect! Then plan B looks just as good!
I'd say the pay star looks right at home as a tough dump truck.
Great work as always Fred.:cool:

[1985 kenworth]

it's a paystar so fred you already won the prize..lol either way you go with this it will look outstanding ,however if you keep it a dump,keep the lift axle ..more payload...more pay!!! besides i have never seen a dump truck nowadays without a lift axle...keep the updates coming :D
