Pumper Truck Build

Tamiya Cowboy · #1 08-13-2010, 05:19 PM

Here we go on the rest of tonight's update. OK I put the new hazard decal on the rear of the truck and I also made the rear tail lights and did the tread plate on the rear step and up the sides in the rear and made the alum deck for the hose bed.

I also got the black strip added to the body between the red and the white and I added the grill onto the cab for the last time and glued the wheel flairs also I am final crossing things off the build list on this project.

Also I got the frame prepped and paint a semi gloss black. Then I also got the frame put back together and added the drive shaft and steering rod and shift rod.

Add the new hazard decal on the front bumper and replaced the tread plate on the top of the bumper and added it to the frame.

Here is a few picks of the pump body put on the frame for the last time with the cab witch will come off and on a few more times I will start some wireing and more detail tomorrow.

I spent a bunch of time last night working on the head light pods. They took me sometime to build I took 1/4 PVC sheet and carved them out with a dremel and a knife. I used PMD square light lenses. I have them out in the shop in primer Ill get better picks today of them finished. I am hoping to get them mounted on the truck tonight.

Well here are the headlight pods for the front of the fire and I also made the blinkers too. So here they are mounted on the truck with the blinkers.

Well I started the big task of wiring this beast. There are still plenty of one off parts I will have to make as I install the lights and MFU.I wanted to make this set up as easy for the owner to use as I could and make the inside of the cab as clean as i could so all you see is the seats and dash.

I mounted the speaker in the bed of the truck and built a box around it so i could upholster it with black cloth.

Then I was going to mount the MFU control's in the bed of the truck under the floor by the battery but that is not real user friendly so i built the hoes rack and mounted it inside of that with a opening on top. Also I mounted the reviver away from everything to keep it clear of power fields.
