Yard Jockey / Switch Truck
 

Ive started this build well over a year ago, and kind of lost interest then every once in a while id get interest again until I finally decided to wipe the dust off and try and get it done... I was able to get a hold of the guys over at Ottawa and they were nice enough to send over pdf files and dimensions to get me going after I told them what I was doing. 5th wheel will raise and lower like the real deal, and will also equip with lights and sound if I can cram it in there with the full interior. I think it will be a nice fun build when im done. Best part is I get to drive around the shows relocating ppls trailers :cop::lol::bounce:

Here comes the trailer repo truck lol

Re: Yard Jockey / Switch Truck
 

Men brutal.

Re: Yard Jockey / Switch Truck
 

Very nice!
Looks like the Autocar "Yard Spotter" I see working everyday at Dexter in Albion. I'd been thinking about building one but you beat me to it. I'll be watching this one, keep up the good work.

Re: Yard Jockey / Switch Truck
 

Thanks Wayne and yes , Ottawa, and it will be offered as a complete build and MAYBE in kit form...


thats the idea..

thanks bro

Thanks Man, it turned out to be a pretty neat build...

Re: Yard Jockey / Switch Truck

OK, OK. Game set match! Came out perfect Brian. Awesome job once again. And BK at work, love it.

Re: Yard Jockey / Switch Truck
 

Thanks for the kind words brother, special thanks to you because if it wasnt for u helping my brain fart in figure out the lift mechanism. This would probably be in a box somewhere... BK thanks you for being able to haul trailers now lol!

Re: Yard Jockey / Switch Truck
 

Brian that can not be a real yard truck I have never seen one that clean and well painted, even when they are brand new they don't look that good... Great build.... Hope you put it out in a kit......
