Ramp truck plans

[Belair2k]

I heard that there was an issue of a model car mag that had plans for building a ramp to add behind a cab. Anybody have any info on this?

There was a kit out with the wedge ramp style bed for a pickup.

AMT just reissued the Ford LN 8000 race car hauler.

Ramps are easy to build,but you have to extend the chassis. Here's one I built a few years back. It was made from a spare cab I had. The 'chassis' is flat styrene. No engine either. Is this what you're looking for?

There was an article in Car Modeler Magazine back in May of 94 about building ramp trucks. I have the article scanned. If you want a copy send me an email.

I should have posted these years ago and then put it away. I need to finish it. This is my own design.

Enjoy

I know it's a silly question,but why didn't you finish that Bgrgbldr?

To be honest I do not remember why I stopped working on this. Most likely I got busy with work and family and put it away and forgot about it. I keep my projects in plastic shoe boxes stored in cabinets to keep my room neat. Sometimes I just loose interest because I found a new interest. Could be I made as mistake and did not feel like fixing it. Sometimes I will star a project because some asks me how to do it and a build it to show them how, I have lots of those. I probably have 30 or more projects in various stages of construction. I like starting new projects but I never seem to finish any. After all once you finish there is nothing to do but look at it.

This was one I did in 1/64 scale, The ramp body and sleeper were built out of sheet plastic.

Going for somthing between this and this

Here is the Model King ramp bed on a late model Chevy that I bashed together a while back using a resin cab and the bunk off an AMT Kenworth.

I filled in the tandem wheel wells for a single rear axle.

those are some nice looking ramp trucks.

Motor City Resin Casters makes a ramp bed, too, if you're not up for all the scratchbuilding:

is this for a pick up truck chassis or semi chassis with single axle?

Here is a hauler I bashed and a scatch-built trailer.

It would probably work best on a light truck chassis- that's how Jeff shows it set up on his site. Ramp_Truck_Link.

I will have to check but I remember that being in an old issue of Scale Auto or Car Modeler magazine and I think I made copies of the article. If I do have the copies, I would be happy to send them out to others.
