BC Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Coming along nicely Tris...I can't wait to see the finished article ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 Cheers one and all. .. well, ran out of paint so the grill isn't finished yet and there are one or two touch ups to do but here is the bulk of the work done. Before Friday I have to finish the lowloader which is over halfway done. For the truck itself to be ready for Spalding she will need exhausts, rear lights, catwalk, suzi's, airkit refitting, sun visor refitting, windscreen refitting and interior refitting. Then at a later date, aerials, lightbars, decals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Blimey.... I thought you'd forgotten how little man Looking very nice my friend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 That looks mighty fine Tris, great work, looking forward to seeing the finished article. Here's a link to a haulage contractor located a bit further north than me, John Toulson who runs some similar style Scania trucks, I often see them passing through Pickering. http://www.johntoulson.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 BC has put up lots of his own pics of a Toulson lorry that his friend bought, David. Bill supplied me with the chassis measurements to get this right. I think Toulsons T-Cabs are dwindling now in favour of Volvo units. Shame that Scania have ceased bringing them over now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Just had a good look through Bill's photographs Tris, very impressive lorry. That's a real shame, i've seen the Toulson T -Cabs running as a pair through Pickering on many occasions with their bulkers on the back, and i'm sure i've seen some 4 axle Volvo rigid bulk tippers of there's too, kept in very clean order. I'll have to keep an eye out when i'm out and about with my camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I thought I'd seen a Toulson T cab somewhere before.... it was the shagged out one in one of Bill's pics wasn't it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
