Petaluma F350 Build High Lift

[FodigoDave]

Thanks bulkon!!! Greatly appreciate the kudos.
I'm planning on restarting (taking a break) my scx10 fire/rescue. I'll likely have most completed by next yr. It's full of suprizes.

Slack... Here's the sizes you were asking about. The rear bed brasswork size is 5/32

The front bumper is 5/32 along the top. The lower section consist of 13/64 solid tube with a 7/32 sleeve for bulk and support. Once formed, they were soldered in place. My truck picked up a vouge frequency and suddenly jumped off a rock, falling 3 feet onto the front bumper. The result was a small gouge. It's a good, sturdy bumper I feel confident having my winch attached to.

Cool! Although I've had a few other projects going, and lifes little unexpected plans that seem to get thrown my direction quite often these days, my Adventure Truck has been a bit stagnant lately. Not proud of that - but hope to pull it out this summer and get back into my groove again."thumbsup" I'll check out what your buddy has to offer. Thanks for the heads up - ALWAYS appreciate any help.

Thank you greatly, that means a lot. I know- It's a LOT to go through... LOL. This was my first build and first time posting here so a lot of those early pics were huge!

Anytime I can help out a fellow builder - that's how some of this build got underway. Just checking out what other guys have done and went from there. For example - I didn't know what styrene was until I started checking out other build threads, then I discovered a new ability I didn't know I had and that went untapped for a log time. Once you put your mind to it - it seems you can build anything. Even if it's your first time.

wow~~~that is really great job!!!! the car is so cool!!!!hope i have that skill!!!"thumbsup"

You definitely have it in you bro. Just take things one step at a time. I had NO CLUE what the heck I was doing. Just a matter of trial and error. My suggestion, is start off with a proto type of paper, cardboard stock (some scotch tape) and tweak as needed. It's a lot cheaper than experimenting with styrene only to have to scrap a plan and start over. If you can see it somewhere - you CAN build it.

Excellent car. You understand very well the modified procedures. I watched with admiration. has been very good. I would like to congratulate you.

THANK YOU "slmdmrc" "thumbsup""thumbsup" Sorry it's been a while since I've been on... But as previously mentioned, workload is horendous at the moment. Besides, weather hasn't been very favorable. The older I get - the warmer I feel I have to be and it's been pretty darm cold lately!

I do appreciate the kind words. Thank you again!

Good to see you still here! still is one of my favorite F-350 builds"thumbsup"

 

[FodigoDave]

Thank goodness this thread is still up. Lost phone to water and all these pics with it. Whew!

 

[FodigoDave]

7 years later!. Hardly can tell. This truck has survived the test of time for sure.

Plans in the works for a new radio and transmitter - that's for sure. The current Futaba is ancient by today's standards. Not a big fan of the telescoping antenna array either.

 

[FodigoDave]

Not sure why these pics say photobucket - which is sad because I lost the originals in a phone water accident.

You can still go to your photobucket account and download them (one by one) back to your computer. There's also a bulk downloader app, but it costs a couple bucks, I haven't used it, and I don't want to break any forum rules by endorsing or linking to it.

There is also a Photobucket patch to get around the Photobucket debacle.

 

[durok]

I'm using the "Photobucket Hotlink Fix" in the Chrome browser and I can see your pics... Nice truck!

Good to know- thanks guys. In a world of cell phones- might be a while until I can get to a desktop (ha!)
