freightshaker2 Posted April 14 Posted April 14 So ound 8 years ago I built a truck up to look like the one I rode in alot as a kid. Pop's 74 W900. It was the coolest thing i remember. He had it repainted in '88 and it was exactly what he wanted. In 94 he had a load of baled tin in his dump trailer and the load shifted going around the clover leaf onto the 76 in Philadelphia. She rolled and there was nothing left to save. The trailer survived. He brought it home where it rests on top of the hill at our scrapyard. I stop and visit it like an old friend time to time. My replica was a proud piece for me... but the wife's cat must not of liked it. He knocked at it and she nose dived off the dresser... I decided to restore it. Moved the passenger side tank back and scratchbuilt a box and step for the passenger side as well. Used a set of 3d printed wheels. Not crazy about them tho. I put the original pics and the new pics.. and I even attached what's left of the old truck on the hill too. 10
