I like the way this truck is turning out.Its a tough looking truck for sure.Where did you get those hood handles?Great job, cant wait for more updates!!

[tracksntreadslou]

Thanks PJ... HAndles came from here http://www.ozarkminiatures.com/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=552
And a great price

[Espeefan]

Lou, that looks really nice! The fenders and grille sure give the old King Hauler a brand new look, and I like it. The grab handles on the hood are an awesome detail touch. Did you make those yourself? I could use a few of those myself, for a project. Keep it going. Looking forward to the finish!

[dabears]

Looks like a great start!!! thanks for that link on the handles i know a few of us have been looking for some!!!

[glorydays24]

BAD TO THE BONE!!! This is a unique build fo sho. I love where you are going with this. Now take your time, but hurry. LOL!!!;):):D:cool::p

Big John

[doodlebug]

Another big DOG:D:D:D Start Lou! I like it.

Cheer's, Neil.

[steamer]

Lou, you must have worked an all nighter, to get that far. Now remember don't get too many projects going at once or you'll end up like me, nothing done. A real nice start on a great truck. It will look real mean, pulling that trammel.
Rob

[RCP57]

Looking great Lou! Hopefully I can join you guys in Campbell River so I can check out all of your new stuff. The mid island boys have been busy and I'm falling behind!:p

[TRUCKMAKER]

Nice P510! Keep the pictures coming, this will be a classic!

[Diesel Demond]

very nice!

[tracksntreadslou]

Thank you all very much for your comments everyone and thanks for looking :eek:
My body work could still use a bit of practice and this time of year it difficult to get a good paint job done unless you a have good work shop..that I dont have yet ..The rattle cans can be pretty picky but i did ok ..A aluminum base coat and electric blue top coat

Rob

[dabears]

[chaseracer]

great job Lou , looks great and also looks meaner and thats a good thing

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Lou this truck is going to be awesome just like your other one just a great job keep up the great work.

[404]

love the square fenders and the off road tires, they go well together.

[tracksntreadslou]

Thanks Paul ,Steve,Arron ,Rob ,Jason,and Reg...Hope I didnt forget anyone..Anyway been hard at er and cant stop now ..I tried my hand at bending the 1/4 K&S tubing ..my bender works ok ..I first tried the stainless tube the tamiya has on the stacks but ended up just buckling..so the heaver walled k&S was my solution ..I did take my dremmel and a small stone and thinned out the tips ..maybe some black paint will give it the used look as welll ..Fabbed up some tanks as well ..slightly polished but still a used look as well..
Thanks for lookin :eek:

Have you considered filling the pipe up with soft solder, bend it, and melt it back out?
Nice progress!
Cheer's, Neil.

[tracksntreadslou]

Thanks 404 and Neil..Great tip on the bending ..Good Idea..I managed to do a bit more ..Jezz i cant stop now and have a ton of other projects that are going to be due soon ..Anyways a few more pics and thanks for looking

[steamer]

Lou, you sure were right about those decals. They look awesome on the mudflaps. Great work, now you have to make some for Greg and I!!!!

[Acadieman]

Very nice!
I'd like to build a Pacific or Hayes at some point. That's many years away though.

[BRICKNICK]

This truck looks great, I was wondering where yoi got the metal from to make the fuel tank step? Did you cut the pattern in it or does it come like that?

[Northwoods Timber toter]

Lou, outstanding work! You have giving me insaration for my next build, I have a tri-axle chassis waiting for cab and drive train. I think I may go with a Pacific as well, I got into looking them up and they are some workhorse looking rigs! I Love it! I was going to go with a lat 40's early 50's KW, But I think a Pacific will look better pulling my B-Train Log Bunks I got from RoadRanger. Keep up the good work, Your a true craftsmen!

NWTT:cool:

Thanks Im think of doing a hayes as well ..a big HDX :D

Thanks Had that metal for a while now ..I think i bought it thruogh home hareware or canadian tire ..its called expanded metal

Lou, you sure were right about those decals. They look awesome on the mudflaps. Great work, now you have to make some for Greg and I!!!!

Thanks Rob ..Whats First on the list ..guess we should make some up for that big dump truck

NWTT:cool:

Thanks NWTT..I picked a truck with flat fenders lol..this makes body work fairly simple..There are quite a few photos on Hanks truck pictures and http://www.pacifictruckclub.org/Photos.php?Galyear=1947&YearsShown=4&page_title=1947%20to%201950
That is a nice B train ..would look great behind mine too ..lol..I do plan to haul some logs with mine as well and still want the fifth wheel for my flat deck and trummel

[Diesel Demond]

outstanding!! just a pure a$$ kicker of a truck. looks scary tough. i also like those decals on the front flaps nice touch. great work on the cab also

[Trucker_Jo]

Looks mean. Can't wait for the bumper its going to be NasTY :D

Thanks Amazing how things come together when you add the little details

Looks mean. Can't wait for the bumper its going to be NasTY :D

Thanks ..Added a bit of nastyness ..Havent had much time to work on it but did manage to do some bumper work ..Just taped the shackles there for now and not sure if im going to use them or not

Wow! Hard to tell if it is a 1:1 or a scale model
Very Nice

Thanks for sharing

Jeff

[Trucker_Jo]

Woah great work! (Nice trailer in the background)

Question: Do those tires fit on stock size kh rims? The fronts look great.

Looks good:cool:

[D8R]

Just getting better and better, like those details, they add up to an outstanding model. Like your photografhy to, very sharp pic on a real truck, sorry model truck!
Dan

[speedy8305]

hey great work I noticed that the fuel tank doesnt have a top step is that common on those trucks?

[Pippoe]

Beautiful truck with nice details.

Well done!!

Cheers

[Lmackattack]

The spokes really make the truck look tuff!

[tracksntreadslou]

[Claus]

Beautiful truck, you guys sure like your trucks heavy!

[Espeefan]

Nice looking rims and tires Lou! I love the little grab handles on the hood as well. All the little details really add up.

[lukewmc]

i like that color! Thats a great looking truck. I really like the cab detail and the wheels

[RCP57]

It's about time you posted some pics on here! Probably if you didn't spend so much time texting some guy that was stuck on a boat you could have posted those a day earlier!:eek: They look great Lou! I'm looking for ward to seeing it at the show!

Reg

[ihbuilder]

good job on the wheels Lou . exactly how I want mine to come out .

[BRICKNICK]

That baby looks sweet, if you took pics of it in a dirt pile or with trees behind it, you would have a real hard time telling it wasn't a 1:1 truck. That hood and front end came out great, and the wheels look fantastic. Nice work.

[doodlebug]

Great Job, I like it!
Cheer's, Neil.

[tracksntreadslou]

First of all I want to thank whom every it was for the nomination of build of the month ...Very stiff compitition and some great builds being done these day and thanks again to eveyone for all your comments and encouragement ..Was laid off a few months ago so a bit more time to build but my budget is kind of short ..Got quite abit done on the pacific and a few more nice little surprises on the way .
I made up a chain rack and a set of single railerrs to hang on the rack

A new set of mirrors with clearance lights installed ..Theres something about the stock tamiya mirror that dont appeal to me ..especialy the 4 screws on the backs ..i modifide the frames a little ..Would of like to get the set that guy in eruope is making but tight budget is kind of holding me back

Woah that cab guard is suh-weet. And the Protech chain rack is super scale, keep it up:bounce:

[Straywolf]

Great looking truck!!!! I love the mirror's, so those mirror's are the one's that come from Tamiya then? Excellent Work!!! If i may ask i haven't seen the one's from europe you talked about, is there a site to see them at? Thank You.

Mike

[tracksntreadslou]

Thanks Trucker Jo and Mike ..Mike just the wire frame is from tamiya .For the light i ran only 1 wire and the other wire was attached to the inner side of the metal mirror ..the second conection will be attached to the lower wire frame threads inside the door .so basicly im using the metal frame as one wire ..have to make sure the + side never makes contact with the frame .I added the extra cross brace by glueing it with JB weld ..Check these out ..These are wicked http://www.lkwmodellbauberlin.1a-shops.eu/

[Diesel Demond]

that truck is sick! got my vote lotta nice tractors but i love trucks!!

Thanks for the info on your truck mirror's and Thank You for posting the link to the mirror bracket's those are really sweet!!!

Mike

[Snochaser]

Fabulous craftsmanship and detail. Great job Lou! A true working beauty. Many of the trucks that are on here don't often get dirty, this is a true down and dirty beauty.

Ben

[Supermario]

I saw and liked your truck on build of the month but never got around to reading your build thread till now and I must say Lou, I'm a big fan of details and craftsmanship and this truck has it big time! Great work, can't wait to see what's next:cool:

Mario

[D8R]

What a difference from first pictures. From a stock vehicle now a realy prptp looking truck model. Do like the spoke wheels a lot, a real workhorse should have those! And also those steps on fuel tanks.
Congrates to a really nice model, guess it will be better with more details like the airtanks.
Dan

[Izzy]

really beautiful truck you have there. Those lights in the mirrors are a super addition to a nicely detailed work horse!

[Espeefan]

Perfect details, Lou! That cab guard is awesome! The mirrors that Tamiya (and Wedico for that matter) use are just flat out ugly. I really like the small improvements you made to yours. It's defintely miles ahead of the stock pieces. Thanks for sharing the trick for fitting the bulbs inside the mirrors. Great thinking on using the metal frame of the mirror to complete the circuit. I might have to borrow that idea.

[tracksntreadslou]

Thanks..Very much appreciated

Mike Keep your eye out there is a few guys on this forum that have them install .they look really good

thanks Dan ..Still a ways to go ..I Guess we all strive to make a" one of "truck and add those details simular or as close to the 1-1 trucks ..
really beautiful truck you have there. Those lights in the mirrors are a super addition to a nicely detailed work horse!
Thanks Izzy ..Very flattered ..Coming from a master builder as yourself.I kindof wish I had torn the whole thing appart and did a frame up instead of a makeover ..Im impressed with your workhorse as well

Thanks Nathan they are far from perfect but I glad you agree they look better.If you got even more creative im sure you could even hide the other wire in some small tubing instead of wire framing ..that was my initial plan..BTW the bulbs are grain of wheat i picked up at the LHS ..I did try them out on a receiver battery and they looked ok ..Thats what this forum is all about ..Sharing ideas , Making new friends , Helping others

Thanks For looking :D

[toniolillo]

Looking good Lou. I guess you were finally able to get some work done the last two days hey? Not quite so many text messages...:rolleyes: Now you need to buy some more of the tires like you have on the truck....

[BRICKNICK]

Wow the air tanks look great on there. That's one heck of a build. Amazing detail.

If you look on the Cab guard there is a shovel hanging on there ..got a little creative lol

[Espeefan]

Very nice Lou. The trailer looks great, painted to match the truck. How did you make the antennas on the mirrors. I like they have springs at the base. They probably sway a little bit while the truck is driving too. I'll bet that looks cool.

I have always wanted to put a loose spring on my static models with a good weighted antenna and a heavy top so they would sway all over the place :D
Btw I love this build and would love to put it on my roads.

Thanks Nate They are more or less static and JB welded in place..i just slipped some short lengths of BIC lighter springs over the the Ant ..great idea though ...may do some mods in the future .I was thinking of stopping at the music store and checking out the guitar strings..Im at that point where im adding some of the small details ..still rear mud guards to do as well

Thanks Very very much ..those kind of add on seem to add a bit more realizam. Ive seen some of the stuff some of the guys do with the 1/24 static models ..amazing some of the detail that goes into them ..My eyes and pateints are not quite that good ..anyway Thanks again Jo

[tracksntreadslou]

There was a few Pacifics at the ATHS show in duncan so I did manage to get a few shots of the old girl sitting on a few fenders ..Both of the these trucks were carrying Log Jeeps so that was kind of cool..The owner of the Light green P9 was pretty impressed

Very nice build, one of the best on the board, very realistic!

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Awesome picks Lou!

[RCP57]

Great pics Lou. I had hoped to do the same on sunday with the LW kenworth but the owner wasn't around.:(

[Espeefan]

Great photos! Can't help but notice the pride taken in the P9 Pacific. The Phillips screw heads are all matching, and perfectly aligned! That's a good looking truck.

[AzItalian]

awesome job,who made u all the metal parts?wheels?etc...

[tracksntreadslou]

Thanks for Looking and all your nice comments ..im very flattered that It was nominated in the build of the month again ..tight race and crossing my fingers
Nathan I wasnt quite of observant as you are and now that you mentioned it yes that truck was imaculant..the owner had me poke my head in in the cab ..Nicer than new I would say ..The truck is retired now and hasnt seen work for 7 years .Garage kept..wish I had Both ..lol
Havent done alot on the pacific these days but did add some Red plastic caps to the jeep , trailer and truck front wheels ...I am also flying purple ribbons in Support of the 14 year old girl with brain cancer ..I hear there are truckers all over the western U.S. Canada and Alaska flying puple..Its unbeleiveable how everyone is all pulling together in support for the family ..very cool great cause

The girl with cancer is doing well. Her name is Hannah. That's cool you are flying the purple.

[Lmackattack]

I really like this truck...those spoke wheels really set this apart from the rest...

Who's rear tires are those? Do they fot stock tamiya rims....I could use a set for my Mack I'm building

I love this photo, you sure built a sharp looking logger.

[tracksntreadslou]

Thanks ..Im surprised at how well my camera does ..just an old canon powershot 710..Just got lucky i guess ..I still have to finish wiring the lights rear mudflaps and shes pretty much done ..Been a fun Build to do..thanks for the nomination to BOTM Too

[Grainfarmer]

Good job! Very nice log hauler! :eek:

[PaulNZ]

Good looking logger!

I like the old Pacific's used to work on a few 20 yrs ago in the NZ Forests

We'll done on your build, I've been following rclogger and your builds for a while

Cheers

[tracksntreadslou]

Thanks Paul ..really enjoyed this build and following yours as well..On the weekend I met up with a fella that worked for pacific building the preloaders..This guy knew his stuff ...he instantly recognised it as a 510P and was pretty impressed ...we pointed out a few things that were off though ..Still a few things I want to add and finish though ..Thanks again and cheers

[Claus]

This is one of those trucks that if you showed it to somebody new to the hobby, parked along side a stock King Hauler they would probably never guess the two were related.

[Claus]

Lou do you have any photos of your two rigs together? Love your work.

[JamesBC]

Love the photo's, one very nice truck. You did a great job.

[Hwheeler1973]

Nice job! It's always cool to see something different!

[RCP57]

I think it's a shelf queen boys. I've been to several shows with Lou and this truck is always there but it never moves. Maybe he thinks it's too pretty to work?:p

[JamesBC]

Well might be a queen, but its down right nice build. Looks like it got dirty hauling logs by the one picture.

On another note, is there RC shows on the mainland at any time? Would love to go to one.

[JamesBC]

Lou
I have a question about this truck, assume it was modelled after a real truck. Was there a reason for the dual air cleaners and dual exhaust pipes on the curb side?

Jim

Lou

Jim

That truck is modeled after a Pacific P16. It is an off highway size truck and has an offset cab hence the air cleaners and exhaust on the passenger side.

I was just ribbing Lou a little about the P510 being a shelf queen. I have seen it loaded with logs but only when parked. The last couple of shows we were at I believe it was having some radio issues and that's why it didn't get used.

No shows that we know of on the mainland. The next one we will attend will likely be in July at the Forest Discovery Center in Duncan BC.

Beauty!!!!!
