Bendita Posted January 5, 2014 Report Posted January 5, 2014 This truck was made totally from scratch I turned all the round parts like fuel tank, tires air tank on my lathe the air horns on the cab as well as the clearance lights were made from golf tees there are only 2 items not wood they are the CB antennas on the mirrors and the stake straps that keep the stakes up so the logs don't roll of the trailer it was 33" long and made from Cedar Yellow and Red, Maple and the seats in the cab were Oak.
