And spreader.......... Painted this truck over ayear ago and when i starte dbuilding the 1992 ford bronco i needed a 4x4 axle set up which i couldnt find so i took it from this build.......and the last couple days i put the 4x4 set up back in. See if you notice anything special hard to come by piece too LOL....(hint its sotra kinda hard to tell what it is HINT also wasnt done in kit form and its not the plow or mount or spreader box) The spreader box i scratch built this morning right quick (about 45minutes or so cause i wanted it to set up when i got back to start the sanding on it.......)      Still need to do some BMF work,and do some touch up painting.......... |

Looks great, all the Plow services around here have yellow sand boxes. Just make sure to weather the box, the salt they add to the sand can be very cancerous. A lot of them have a steel grate just below the top lip to break the chunks up.
I hope you put some 3/4 ton springs in the rear with airbags or you are going to get some nasty tail sag.
If you have any questions, My father-in-law runs a plow and sanding service (I worked for him last winter).

Its cool i just winged it! been awhile since i last seen one (lastwinter LOL) and yes i know about the spring issue,still thinking about makin a new set for it some time soon, i never allowed for the 4x4 front end i set up ( on the last one i cut acouple coils out so it would ride pretty level, but i didnt on this one). The effect is pretty cool tho with the front up when the plow is down and the rear saggin a bit cause of the load.....see if i wanna tackle new springs for her..... which isnt a problem i made springs before so thats the easy part............ |

Shes almost done,heres afew pics......... the gate for the dump box on the back does work , the snow blade only goes up and down,i glued it at the angle, because i really didnt wanna go in depth to much more on the build...... It has a Table top resin Ford 300 Six with EFI,1981 MPC Bronco for the 4x4 set up and the trans and transfer case.....and thesnow plow i fiqured i done enough for it LOL.just trying ot keep it simple which i havent LOL............. Final touches are the extra battery (waiting on from a friend) the exhaust tip, and adding the head lite lens for the plow lights, then shes done.........      |
