I'm new here, and here is my "hobby". I start with an old Tonka cab and some tires, and make the rest. -Shawn

Pressed steel! Care to share a little of the process?
Those sure are nice looking trucks.
 
Thanks.
Simple, hammer, sheet metal brake,dremmel, shears and some welding. oh yeah I forgot, pattern making, mold making, and lots of time. A LOT OF TIME.
Grab whatever scrap metal you can get if your cheap like me.
It started out fixing a truck up for the grand sons................

Happen to have any more pictues? Have not done any metal ones but did a wood body years ago for s nephew. One of those winters when i had more time than money and he needed a Christmas present. He is now in his 30ths and still has that truck.
Hope that grandson knows how lucky he is.
 
Do you have a picture of the wood one you made? There is a guy using wood for his RC bodies and they look REAL!
 
Wonder how many of us ditched fargo trucks growing up not knowing what they were?
Now I have myself woundering I may still have one. It been over 10 years since being in the toy box.
