| Garbage Truck 2 New Generation Beachbum transport
. |
Since I used the modified Dodge cab for the Beerwagon 2, I had to build something for the garbage truck box that was already built. I've always liked the styling of the "Playboy Bunny Coach", so I incorporated that style to the front of a Chevy truck. The front end is lengthened and heavily modified. The roof chopped in a stepped fashion. The frame and running gear from the custom '53 Ford flipnose pickup was lengthened, "Z'd" to drop the front end WAY down. The Predator carbs are from the USA-1 monster truck kit. The exhaust was formed from solid core solder and aluminum tubing. The garbage truck box was rescued from the parts bin, the truck having fallen victim to too many cross country moves. It was widened to fit a modern pickup cab, as it was originally going to sit behind the Dodge cab that is now the Weisen Wagon. Some day I might detail the interior of the box. |
