Started on this to get a break from the Skagit for a bit. It's going to be a Weyerhaeuser KW 848 off highway truck pulling a 100 ton Peerless lowbed. I decided I needed something to haul around my Washington TL-6 Trakloader. Using an old Movin On KW with the rear ends out of an ERTL Mack. The wheel are resin from AITM. Also using the radiator and grill from an AMT Alaskan Hauler. More to come. Cheers: Bill

What do you use to get your frame rails so high? Mike

Thanks guys:
Mike I put blocks under the frame rails to raise it up about a scale 6 inches.

You could use 12x24 wheels & tires to really get it tough.

Now this is gonna be a cool looking rig. Are you going to use the square or round tube reach in it, as Weyerhauser used both types. Any who waiting to see progress on this one.
