    Rico, those are some sharp rigs! I picked up a few of their tandem wreckers with that cab. Excellent for kitbashing!! They are among the more realistic trucks to be had these days. Enjoy!

    Im pretty certain that is not a crane at all. Its a crop sprayer. You can see the hoses molded into the latices. That's what the chrome tank is for. Maybe turn it into an MOW weed spray tractor...

    Jerome post up a pic of all your custom trucks, like a group photo. Its kinda useless for me to take another blurry photo of 30+ MOW and DOT trucks

    Sure. Here, The transitions are not perfect, but no one sees the bottom anyway. Here the 3 trucks, and then how they look joined. Basically overlapping the Boley frame into the Matchbox frame, but the metal wheel keeper strip/spring in the Matchbox has to be trimmed.

    Thanks all! Josh, Be my guest! It is a terrific turnout once you are done. Ive made 3 already and to be honest, they are expensive to make. The Matchbox truck was $7.50 on ebay NIP( I cant find them any where else) and we all know the price of Boley trucks, plus shipping. but, I'm paid to...

    Well, these came in the mail today. They became victims of a quick MOW transformation/kitbash for my fathers Conrail crew. I added decals, a hand painted balsa wood rear traffic advisory board, hand painted the details, and I ordered a fresh new box of these handy Herpa stropes that last quite a...

    Thanks. Ive spent some time on my vehicle collection. Feel free to visit my profile and look through my highway department picture album for much more. I haven't seen any Rams, but that would be a nice work truck to build. The reply was aimed at trainman78, but good for anyone posting here. I'm...

    HO scale modern pickup trucks

    Ebay usually has Cal Fire crew cab Silverados or a single cab ford pick up for brush fire use. But anything can be kitbashed the way you want. Also, I'm not sure what modern is to you, but I used some older trident chevy trucks and fords like these below. The bottom picture shows the Riverpoint...

    Thanks for the comments and all the help guys! Maybe I'll get a cheapo digital camera so the details and weathering don't go un noticed.
