I’m in I’ll get some pics together and post later. Thanks for having me.

Very nice. Those tires are very Aggressive looking. Updates look good also. Seated and waiting for next update.

Update. Rachel Allan’s wife said to thank everyone for the condolences per. a member of another forum I’m on. I told him I posted what happened here and he told Alan’s wife. Thanks for your loving support guys.

There were speculation on another Forum about what happened and the Mods reprimanded the person who posted it and took down his reply. That forum has funny ideas but It was the same thing about the Motorcycle accident but it sounds like that’s it. A friend of ours here in the USA was killed on a motorcycle the same day Alan passed away exactly the same time but we’re 6 hours behind where Alan lives.

Your most welcome Scott. I have another Chevy Bison I’m building I’ll get a thread going soon on it as well.

That’s not a diaphragm that’s a “Pancake” lol. Well that’s what us old School truckers like me call it. I’ve changed a many of those have to cam the brake chamber or that front part of it will be like a rocket if you unbolt it without cam first. This has killed many truckers and mechanics that were inexperienced changing these.

Your thoughts are like mine thanks for posting that pick. I only have about 6 Italeri 1/35 scale of that truck in the stash 😂. I’m thinking of turning it into a M932 truck tractor another one on my bucket list I need to build.

I have to go with Sandbox also I really like the Modern Armor that was used in the Gulf war.

The top is on and just a few more bits and it’s finished.

Thank you kind sir.

Yes me too.

Beautiful truck Jeff

Sorry for the very late reply. Thanks for the complement I appreciate it hope that I’ll be getting this one done.

Jeff sorry for the very late reply thanks for the complement and yes those rubber block rode rough. I feel your pain with the back issues.

It’s been a very long time since I post any progress pics on the truck. I’m almost done with it now.

I have sad news I read on another forum AlanG has passed away on July 14 after a Accident no details were released.

Here’s some updates on the Bison.

Thanks for the complement. I will have to look to see what paint I used. I think it was a Krylon color.

Thanks for the complement Peter. I need to revisit this build and finish it.

Dump bed has been mounted now to add a few more details

Getting some work done on the truck. I’ve upgraded the engine to a 350 instead of a 250

This is a old AMT Autocar DC I’ve had for about 16yrs always undecided what till make till last winter. I decided to make it a Dump truck. I took my brother Bill’s old bed he gave me back around 1986 and re-do it. Bill bought a new AMT Autocar Dump Truck when it first came out in 1972. He painted the neighbors fence to buy it of course I helped I was 3yrs old. The cab shied and front was bad so I replaced it with a Ertl one I had. Here’s some pics of the bed and truck in progress.
