Nice Truck, Dad!!

Those wheels must have been difficult to make.

Don’t forget to sign and date it. Very nice job.

Lew,
The wheels actually were not too difficult to make. They begin as two halves and you use the tablesaw to cut 15 degree kerfs on the ends. Then they are glued together. It’s rather easy and they end up looking pretty cool.

Great project, I just ordered the book from Amazon, they have plenty of new & used copies available.
I will have to build them in pairs…..I am sure my son will want one too!!!!

Great work! I started this same truck several years ago with a few changes of my own, but I’ve never finish it. Maybe I’ll have to look for that box of parts. Again very nice work!

Wow….. cool project… Well done….I’ve been wanting to make one of these for a while now…for my grandson… It’s getting closer to the top of the list….

Congratulation! As a dad of 6 years old boy, I can tell the boy can play with this at least 6 years! And it will be great if your grandson can play with it someday too.

I have a copy of that book and have been contemplating trying this design. Now that I see you can recreate them well you have motivated me to give it a try.

Great work!

-- Matt, Napa, CA...fun is beautiful...just trying to have some fun...

I know how you feel. My boy is 18 months old and I started making stuff way before we even knew he was a he (mum insisted on knowing and I did not care). I built a dump truck for my boy, but yours blows mine away (not posted). A great toy I made for him, which he is only starting to use now, is a push car. I will post some images. A GREAT TRUCK mate.

That is a great Job and the wheels are easier than they look as you said.

i have this book and as a matter of fact Les is a shop teacher in Kamloops B.C where i live. i built the truck and 5th wheel out of this book to match my dads so it is a crew cab short box instead of the reg cab dually.
