this is a mans truck all the way…even though its made of wood….its real close…this is a christmas gift for a friends grandson..its made of antique heart pine , red cedar, walnut and some dogwood…its 4 wheel drive with a cummins diesel engine with a super charger…the dual exhaust pipes are walnut tipped, i made the tires from heart pine and grooved in the tread with my roto tool…it has an extended air cleaner, as to enable it to drive through deep water and not flood out .the dime lighting are 2003, his year of birth. this was a very fun project for me…i use to have a wooden truck when i was a boy…lots of outside playing…doing this brought back good memories.
