my oil field truck

looks great, are you basing it off a 1:1? my only observation is that the rear axles seem too close to the rear of the truck, at least based on the flat decks I see around here, looks great none the less!

Thanks for the observation,its not based on any particular real one.
I've only seen photos of them and the rear wheels seem very close to the end of the chassis, maybe I've over done it a bit! We don't get any 1:1 versions over here to measure. The bed could be extended in the fullness of time.

Going to give it a work out on Sunday, maybe a lot more will need changing after that!

It is looking great glad to see you get picks up on the board I think you are hitting the mark perfectly.


Civic on these oil field boom truck the rear axles are right at the rear so that way when they use the boom it does not pick the front off the ground so easy it gives them more lifting power..
