This build has really made me want to build a 4x4 truck after I finish my peterbilt. A replica of the topkick from transformers would be too cool!

Nick that Proline body I used is the auto bot body if you look at there picks it has the autobot logo on it.. Also if you are wanting to do one you better buy a body now cause they have been discounting about a year after they come out and it has been about that long..

I sort of am having a change of mind. I seen a new one they built were the tank was rectangular with tool boxes down the side so i think I am going to tig up a alum tank and build boxes down the sides instead of open like it is now.

Default Re: Wildland Brush Fire Truck..

Back at it again with a different idea I was not liking the tank so my buddy Mike changed the flatbed into a rescue box witch I still plan on putting a water tank in.. The roof is removable and it has inserts so it looks like the doors work once it is painted. This truck is loosely modeled after one in town there's is a 2 door TopKick so here are some new picks..





Rear bumper installed..


Front bumper installed and winch placement.






Now I am working on filling in the gap between the bumper and the body like they do on these trucks and I have to make my light bar mount on the front of the box plus running board so more to come..

Hi..i like that,the box on the back reminds me of a USFS green machine,(wildland rig).

im no longer active in the fire service,but most all of our rigs in northern California ,structure,wildland,even the mini pumpers ,all have a square water tank,which is baffled as well,i was also told by a salesman from American LaFrance (ALF) years ago that the tanks are built square to help with weight distribution,and center of gravity balance.and ofcourse baffled for "slosh reduction".

Thanks much Dave.. That would make scene about the rectangle tanks having a better COG. That is what I plan to run in this truck..
