This vintage logging truck built by Joe Piazza was inspired by an old Peterbilt logger. The basis for the model was a Lee Town Mack BQ metal kit. The log bunks are modified Walker castings with added styrene details and have bearing plates that rotate. The cab roof platform was built from styrene, scale lumber, and wire with a Cary locomotive horn. The headache rack was built from styrene sheet and angles. The grille guard was made from styrene and wire. The trailer was built using a Roco military crane buggy with frame built from styrene with movable bunks. Painted with Floquil paints and weathered to simulate the dusty Sierra Mountains logging environment. Also shown in Photo Gallery 206.
