This started out as a Italeri DAF N2800 dump truck kit. needed the dump for another project, added 1 scale foot to the frame length, then a inner frame & outer fish plate. bigger knobby tires, spokes on the front & planetary drives on the rear. the motor will be stock except for a bigger turbo & back of cab air cleaners. a pair of stacked winches , tail roller, high mount 5th wheel & run up ramps will round out the rear. colors will be burgundy, cream & blue, a Dutch heavy haul out fit. I found a few images of a similar uint as operated by Sarens Crane Hire, so a "sold off & repainted version" seems like fun. Ap40 Attachments:

Now this is going to be different. The end product should be neat.

I like that truck for some odd reason. I have one built as the dump with some of tyour wide floats on the front.
The large knobby tires and the added length are cool.

Thanks Gator,
It was going to be a dumper at first, so i built a box, then decided to use the box on another project.
I will post a in process photo of where that dump box is now.

I will post more images tomorrow evening. Decided i did not like the light weight DAF rear suspension, so i cut it off & am building all new from scratch.
Also working on a bit of a re-power, out with the stock 300hp DAF 6, in with a 500+ hp V-8......

Here is the photo as originally posted and the stock rear suspension before this evening. The white sections on the frame are fish plates, for added strength.   Ap40 |
