Started my Truck and low loader
Hello all I have been admiring the builds on here and have decided to put mine up I started last year finished 7 months later
I will add some photos when I can work it all out I had a bit of trouble making the wheel nut disk inside the wheels made a jig but still broke a few .
I made a few changes on the way will post more later Regards Rod

Hi Choof, looks like an intricate build. Are you working to a plan or photos and winging it?
Excited to follow your build, thanks for sharing.

I am following a Toys & Joys plan the trailer and dolly are in southern silky oak and the truck in Queensland maple ,I have changed a few items like the bonnet in the plan was a solid block I hollowed it out and put an engine and gear box in the chassis rails then hinged the bonnet forward like a real one .I will put a few more pics up and on the diffs I made a much larger pinion case and little crosses to look like uni joints .
Thanks Rod

Hi Choof Where are you getting your plans I am in NZ and get T&J plans from Aussie and postage is only about 10% of what you said.
Your work is looking good so far.
