Heavy Hauler for the Farm

[James Combs]

Got a request for a new farm truck from a local farmer http://www.penturners.org/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif . Probably needs it haul hay for his cattle.http://www.penturners.org/forum/images/smilies/cool.gif

Solid Walnut chassis, Solid Cherry fenders, doors, cab and hood, solid Maple headlights, wheel spokes and hub-caps. Hub-caps have birds-eye maple accents, wheels and tires are solid Black Walnut. Radiator, bed, and racks are solid Oak. Clear photo later but the steering wheel is Maple surrounded by Black Walnut. All in all a very "solid" vehicle. Should give lots of great service. It measures 21L x 8W x 7.5T.

Centering and fitting up a fender.

Note that it has dually rear wheels. Will provide for handling of very heavy loads.http://www.penturners.org/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Parts drying after finish application.

Note that it has 4-Wheel drum brakes which will be necessary for those extra large loads.

The interior, Solid Walnut seat(doubt that it is very comfortable but then again it is a farm truck. A good view of the custom steering wheel.

Head lights have opaque lenses(large buttons) for greater light spread over the hay fields.

The Walnut tires and rim have the traditional 12 spoke hub. Good view of the Birds-eye Maple hub-cap accent.

The truck is also very puzzling. It completely disassembles which will probably make it easier to fit in the garage.

A telephoto shot to give better perspective.

Thanks Roger, Wish I had a real one just to take for a spin one time.

Thom, I know what you mean, turns out the customer decided that he wanted to keep it for himself.:eek: I think he is going to commission one of the 2x4 pine block versions for the Grandchild;)
