Tesla Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) Here’s my version of a KW C500 prime mover. I would like to thank Dave Rose (Swamp Dog) for all the pictures he took during his KW C500 oilfield rig build. The following items are from AITM: Kenworth C-500 conversion kit, Allison automatic, Mack 80,000 lb. hard bar suspension, 14 X 24 tires w/Rockwell planetary rear hubs. Misc. parts: CAT 3406 from a Revell snap kit, Plastruct C-14 ABS channel for the frame. Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Edited June 29, 2017 by Tesla
Petetrucker07 Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Thats way cool. Looks like a drillin company just got a brand nee piece of equipment. Very nice job, as usual.
Superpeterbilt Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Dennis this came out spectacular. The colors look great, the truck is just super clean and amazing. This really all came together perfectly.
Old Buckaroo Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Dennis - That is one "Bad Moe", most excellent work ! How about a comparrison pic bumper to bumper with regular Class 8 truck sometime in the future ?

Tesla Posted January 24, 2015 Author Posted January 24, 2015 Man this thing is SUH-WEEEET! Any plans for a trailer? Really, really nice...!!! Thanks Jeff. The trailer will be a 125 ton Rogers unit. Right now I'm working on a Bruder bulldozer and converting it to a D11 to use as the load. Here's the link for that project: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=97889
