Pulpwood Logging

[moon puppy]

I want to do a well used, abused, high mileage pulpwood truck. Probably not a semi rig. Anyone know if a kit out there or suggestions?

Semi truck tractor with a scatch built flat bed might work.

 

[moon puppy]

Hmm...tractor with out the hook up thing (don't know what they call that thing).

Sounds like a LOT of work...think you just talked me into a Semi.

You want something like this:

 

[moon puppy]

Yep, that's what I was thinking.

 

[Adam Baker]

Could do something like this. This pulled up when I searched Pulpwood Logging Truck on a used equipment website, so I guess it was used for that.

 

[MrT]

Yep, that's what I was thinking.

You really could just get a tractor and build a simple frame on it. You can get structual shapes in styrene to do it.

Thanks Adam, I'm thinking something more heavy.

What's a good source on these type vehicles? I hit my regular sites but they are weak on civilian stuff.

Found some tilt cabs that would be good to work with ...

Ford C600 ... Nice long bed .... the guy on the history channel Logging series uses this one ...

Lindberg dodge tilt cab ... You would have to stretch frame ....

Didn't find any logging equipment in a ready made kit ...

You want something like this:

MP you could get a Duce & half to make this one .... It's going to be Kit bashed ... I didn't find any single axle dualies

Italeri had/has a 1/24-1/25 scale Opel truck. Add a GM cab of your choice for an American truck :idonno


Just thought of that

 

[moon puppy]

The Opel truck I can get, where would I find the GM Cab? like from a tractor?

Terry, where's your offer?
