Lee Drennen Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Here’s one I’ve started and painted twice I’ve had it for several years thought I give it another go. I’m going to give it another paint job and maybe add some details to it 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Drennen Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 I’ll be adding some Don Mills tow hooks and brake/gear shift levers to this. I also removed the fuel tank and air tank to give them a better look 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted June 7, 2020 Administrators Share Posted June 7, 2020 Awesome work, Lee. I got bogged down on a simple White 6 ton 6x6 build. Just can’t seem to get motivated. I’ll be watching this one develop 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Drennen Posted June 8, 2020 Author Share Posted June 8, 2020 Got some more done this evening. I fixed the fuel tank by adding a piece of styrene to the back of it. I added the tow hooks, air tank, sanded the tires and upgrade the cargo bed by added some styrene strips. I think I’m going to call it a night. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Some nice looking progress there Lee. Is this the same truck from First Blood? Just remember the scene where Rambo goes back to the town and drives through/over the cop car. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted June 8, 2020 Administrators Share Posted June 8, 2020 Martin, these look like Canadian M135 Jimmys... Those were our issued Deuces when I was in. At least for the first half... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistons like tomato juice tins ! I got a speeding ticket in one of those Cadillacs. 72 mph. Down a BIG hill, with a tailwind. Oh, and never reverse in high range. The transmission would often break. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
