IH5070 Paystar 6X6 now a log truck & pup
 

since I get tired of tripping over bruders around here , I figured I need a wrecker :p . And as my wife likes to say ,"you just got to have the biggest "
:rolleyes: so here we go . scaled 14" double frame (steel outer aluminum inner ) rubber block hendrickson rear susp. 75t lathe motor , tamiya 3 speed axial trans for transfer case , and punisher shafts and carrier bearing like my 5900i hh tractor . cab : scratch built like always :rolleyes: opening butterfly hood and cab doors ( soon to be done ) not sure about interior . still need to fab the body and "may" make my pumps , depends on the supply side of things :(

Wow! I am loving this rig. I think your wheels are stunning as well. Did you machine those yourself? Excellent craftsmanship! She will look even prettier with a coat of color I'm sure!
