Will's dump truck

[FreddyGearDrive]

Will43209 wanted a good starter truck for his son. We decided on a rear wheel drive,14"box,65t motor & a after trany gear reduction.the cab will be yellow.
So this is what I have so far.

Instead of spending the big bucks on a reduction unit,decided to freddy one together.

Plus there tamiya gears.
Then did a Freddy on the fuel tank.

Now the guts.

Just had to set the box & cab on er,so Will can show his son.






A few more hrs & she's a done deal!
Thanks for lookin!

Man Freddie, that looks great! He's gonna love it.he's 10, I told him if he did good in school, I'd get him one. He did, so now Dad has to pay up. great job on her Freddie!

Not a whole lot else to say other than good lookin truck Fred. Do have to agree with Lynn though. I for sure coulda predicted this wrong by thinking it would come out black.

Wow Great looking Dump truck, Congrats To your Son Will on the Grades and on the Awesome Truck.

Great looking truck! Man, if I could have had one of these when I was 10. I probably would have done a little better in school. Ha ha. I turned out just fine. Now I have a good job, so I can have toys like this anyhow, but I sure had to wait a few years. Kids these days have it made!

[FreddyGearDrive]

Well I'm glad you boys like er,now as long as Will's son likes it? All is good!
Nathan, If my dad used this type of motivation driver on me as a kid.
I'de of been a brain surgeon or something along them lines.Not some old wore out mechanic/landscaper,buildin adult toys just to keep hotdogs & pb&j on the daily menu.
Hopefully today can get the screw drive completed,& mount down the dump box.
Then figure out the tailights,was going to use stock rear bumper. But after holding it in place & getting a good look at it. I'm gunna have to talk Will into one of my taillight plates made for a d/truck.
Guys thanks for the comments & complements.
& of course,Thanks for lookin!

Oh,& for you gents that can't wait to see more black trucks,There are 5 waiting to be painted. 3 or 4 of them are going to be black

[spudd]

Freddy as a brain surgeon....... That's a sight I just don't ever want to see!!!!!
That just scares me!!!!!!

[tc1cat]

I knew you couldn't go very long without another black truck All kidding aside, black rc trucks are not all that bad. Just don't want another in 1:1 scale, real pain to keep clean! And they have to be clean to look good.

Another sharp looking truck!

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Looking Great Freddy True craftsmanship for sure..

[Papabaer]

I think Wills son is lucky when he get´s so a nice "starttruck"

Locking fantastic!

[will43209]

Yes he is! We looked at these trucks for about 3 years, until I finally decided to get some. Its a great motivational tool for my kids anyway. This boy was failing big time. (How do you fail gym???). But he's been getting A's and B's now! So I'm happy too. I told my 5 year old, if he didn't get kicked out of preschool I'd get him something nice. He's been getting up at 6 every morning, brush his teeth, wash his face AND get dressed by himself! Then he'll come wake me up, saying he don't wanna be late for school! So he's getting a semi custom Knight Hauler. Of with gear reduction. So now Dad wil have someone to play with. . Take care.

Boy....everyones a funny Guy! Maybe the next one will be pink.
Thanks for the complements!
Ok Will,take a look,& see if it's ok to put in a box.
