Nearly Done USAF 3100 4x4
2 Attachment(s)
Actually will never be done but close enough to go to the beach. Its ever evolving as the attached thread evolves. Amazingly (frighteningly) fast. Still lacks USAF hood and tailgate decals and lots of little's. Yes those are power running boards under the originals. Needed for us old folks.

USAF 430TFS 1969-1973 Think we passed each other. FWIW I started a build thread on that forum.

Re: Nearly Done USAF 3100 4x4
Thanks. Not a perfect job by any means but built to last. The memorial for the 10 aircrew we lost from my squadron in Vietnam 72-73 will to be engraved on mytlewood sideboards.

The 428th, 429th and 430th squadrons were bombing Laos and 5 F-111a crews were lost. Truck was used to transport many of them while at Nellis.
For full story of my CO ( Col Coltman and Capt Brett) google " f-111 Ranger 23". Lost in 72 and found some 30 yesrs later. FWIW: Was down in Gold Beach today. Rogue is packed full of fishing boats right now all circling a big dredge barge, its dump barge and the tug boat. Only 50 feet wide between barge and jetty and little boats are dodging them and the 20' huge clamshell digger while in operation! its nuts. |

Re: Nearly Done USAF 3100 4x4
Truck looks good. Nice job and a great memorial.

Re: Nearly Done USAF 3100 4x4
I think it would look great with some steel wheels with small caps, or possibly even a set of slotted mags. The saw blades are a little newish for my tastes.
Enjoy your cool ride, you did a great job. |

What kind and size of wheels would be your "dream" wheels for this beast? Looks like standard Chevy 6 lug on there.

15x8 with a clip style hub cap would look great.
