We are going to soda blast both aluminum blocks as well as the intakes so the entire surface of the motors is one uniform finish as well as the allison transmission then seal them all with clear. The entire frame and motor mounts and cross members will be painted a single color.we have not decided on a color for the cab yet. The colors in the mock up or " cartoon " are there just for contrast to see the different parts. Looking forward to making some progress on this build enjoy all the feed back that we've received. Will post more pics in a few days

I should be cutting the ladder bar parts this next week. I think we finally figured out the way we want it to look.

aggie91 · 06-03-2014, 04:23 PM

Finally a heavy hauler I can get into...Really like this extreme approach..

amueller454 · 06-23-2014, 02:41 PM

This thing is sick!

Scooterbilt · 06-24-2014, 11:26 PM

We finally got some more time to work on the ole Grain Truck. Here are the ladder bars started for the rear ends.

Hankster · 06-25-2014, 01:03 AM

Finally an update!

Scooterbilt · 06-25-2014, 01:59 AM

I am hoping to get to spend more time on it in coming weeks. We would love to be able to drive this thing to LS fest in September, even if it's not completely done.

Cool Concept!!

I like it and am following along.

Scooterbilt · 07-28-2014, 10:28 PM

Hey guys, We have found a set of 10 aluminum semi wheels in 22.5. What would it take to get these wheels to fit on this grain truck? Adapters maybe?

Guilty By Design · 07-29-2014, 11:25 PM

Yes you'll need adapters. You can also keep them 22.5 and run a "low pro" semi tire or have them milled to 22" and run low pro car and truck tires. Pm me and I can help you locate a set of adapters and a place to mill the wheels.

Scooterbilt · 09-25-2014, 10:27 PM

Here you go fellas, we made a little progress, so here's a little more grain truck porn for you!

franken · 09-25-2014, 11:45 PM

Umm, what's the planned use for a C60 on the ground?

It will be used for looking cool and turning heads!! And a guy needs a truck to pull the little lawn mower trailer around doesn't he? lol

Scooterbilt · 09-26-2014, 12:16 AM

Oh, and I can't forget, because I have never seen one this big in the weeds. Not that it hasn't been done, I've just never seen it.

61_FL_Apache · 09-26-2014, 07:24 PM

One of the coolest builds out there.

duallyjams · 09-26-2014, 08:07 PM
