THE VOLVO...Ugly semi truck crawler hauler build thread

[ChestonScout]

Yup I'm interested, how much you want for it?

(if you still got it that is)

How about a 10 lb spool of mig wire? .030



Ive been getting wire from Cal Ranch for 22 bucks. KT brand

Good choice on the lights! I have the same ones on my trailer, they are very bright.

I am going to really have to kick it high gear to buy a truck and have it finished by Moab. Thanks for the motivation!

 

[ChestonScout]

I was wondering with your trailer for sale if you had already bought a truck!


Ya....Moab is coming quick! I hope mine is ready

 

[chevymog]

Looks great man. I have been looking at your pics and i'm going to copy your work on my trailer. I wasnt sure about how i was going to do it but now you have shown me the way. Thanks for the help. lol

 

[Chevycrew]

What's the wheelbase and overall length on that thing? Estimated weight?

 

[ChestonScout]

I dont know any of that right now. lol

I will bust out the tape measure next time out. As for weight...I dont even have a guess. The bed is gonna be stupid heavy. Its all 1/4" tread plate.

DEAL! You coming down south anytime soon?

 

[ChestonScout]

How far south are ya?

Well, at least the extra weight will improve the ride.

 

[ChestonScout]

HA! Exactly!


When I pulled the Scout up on the bed before I started the dovetail it seemed to smash the springs down about 1.5" for ride height. I think this bed loaded down with a big turd Scout will ride ok

 

[jmaxj]

No plans.

How far south are ya?

I'm in taylorsville but will drive north a bit

 

[ChestonScout]

Cool.

PM me your number. We can work something out Im sure

I have an old school 36-inch semi sleeper cab that I thought would be perfect for your new hauler, but I see it already has an extended cab and absolutely no extra room to install it. That rig is looking really awesome. I'll probably get startled all over again if I pull up behind you in the dark.

hehehe. That seems like it was just yesterday.

Ya....this one has enough sleeper for me. I found a 76 Kenworth that I wished I would have waiting for. Its a loooooong wheelbase and doesnt have a sleeper now. Just a dang good looking truck. Im half tempted to put this one up for sale and see if I can get the Kenworth. lol.
It wont happen....but if it did, I would take that sleeper off your hands!

 

[RustEoldtrux]

Just storing yard tools and stuff in it now. If you get the KW, come and get it.

 

[ChestonScout]

Awesome!


Thank ya Russ!



They are preaching 60 and sunny tomorrow. Hoping to get some work done

Yes they are, and I will be out riding 5 mile on my dirt bike.

Cheston - better snap this one up. I would go broke with the first re-fueling. Better have a LOT of off-street parking.
