IH Paystar 5000 winch truck

Recommended Posts

Rebuilding this IH dump I've had on the self for the last 40 years - I know, hard to believe that Ertl kit dates back to the mid 1970's. 

The first couple of pics is the original build with the dump bed removed, I did weather it some back then and that will remain. The new winch deck and everything thing else will be weathered slightly as this represents a working truck. I mean it is and IH after all !

The dual winches come from the discontinued Revell drop deck trailer #07533.     Everything else is scratchbuilt.   

The cab/hood will be removed, reworked and repainted white with the lower half the same yellow to match the deck.   The hydraulic oil tank caps both come off and are accessed by a hatch in the deck. I made all the hyd fittings and lines both soft and hard. Used a schematic found online for proper routing.  More to follow when finished. Keep on truckin America !!
