DRIPTROIT 71 Posted March 3, 2022 These trucks were used to push trucks over Donner pass. It is powered by a VT-903 and backed by a 5 speed Spicer. The big air tank is for the air starter. I cut the cab down to 72”. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vincen47 Posted March 4, 2022 Awesome outdoor shots. Makes the “snow” look more realistic with the real sun on it. Just the right look all around, great weathering, nice display base. I like the rusty chipped finish on the exhaust outlet pipe coming off the engine. For its uniqueness, I’d have to say this is one of my favorite builds of yours.
