Hi, thanks, its getting there. I can now see the end result, and its a high tuff truck to, the hood must be 6.5ft high

Grant

I like the look and the way that you are updating the elec's etc, will you work the truck or use as hoobby/show type of thing? At some stage I would like to restore/rebuild an R700 myself, there are one two survivors here that I may be able to get hold of. Keep up the good work, looking great as said.

Hello, thankyou, will work it, it is rated for 120ton so it can pull a triple road train. the gauges are all dakota digital and it should look interesting at night. it also has a tv,dvd,nav system in the dash.

regards Grant

Just watch out for toecutter and bubbazineti

Bat man took care of them!

Grant,

You still got the guards, bonnet and grille off this truck??? I'm just in the process of getting a "Flinty" to do up but I want to make sure I can get these parts from you before I go!

Thanks,

Joe

Hello, its still as you see it in the pic, untouched.

Yeh there a beast thats for sure. I gotta brig this one back. I have had it in Storage for 3 years, have not seen it for 12months. its in chicago in romeoville. fun to drive over there, the police actually enjoy it, not like here, they grizzle here.

its fun to drive

Dollys are hand made, we had 13 trailers behind it!

I had it in the paper, but not one bite, I pulled the cab off today, she was rusty, i have put up a pic. its a pitty i wasnt near that other guy that is after an F model, he could have spent lots of money on the cab.

I am chasing a hood for a R700 western if you know where there is any?

regards Grant, my email is gdhodgson@yahoo.com.au

the picture makes it look much better than what it really is, the cab is just simply rusty, real rusty, the roof is gone all way across front, it is fixable for sure if your a great panel beater, it was in the paper this week, not one call. am not going to be to happy watching the cab go, but I cant afford to build this one aswell as the other one.

its a gold dog to;
