When the the poles are folded over the cab they can pull a trailer too. Here are couple videos of them in action. youtu.be/_ppNGBVlAuwyoutu.be/Mi5WQIoE-6g |

Now that I look at that real picture it looks like an old Rainbow truck. See their new shed in the background.

That is really slick. You see some trucks like that running around up here from time to time.

When you said Gin truck I was thinking of a cotton gun truck not a oil field truck!

That looks good, it's neat to see how the oilpatch varies from region to region. Gin poles aren't too common up here any more, most trucks just run pickers. Do you have any more oilfeild stuff in the works?

Now that would be cool. Those are really the only trucks you see on sand roads these days. Way too many running around this part of the country. Any particular company you'll model them after?

Trey I do not have any specific company in mind. What ever suits my fancy is what it will be. I think you have a local company with lime green tank and white cab. Might do that as I like lime green  It would be nice to find a good source of T800 KWs for this type of project. |

They have all macks except for a volvo. Paul's have all T8's. Trey |

IHdriver beat me to it. When I saw Treymo as the writer, I thought he doesn't come from cotton country. I looked at the picture, & thought, that's a gin pole truck, & I don't ever recall seeing those around cotton gins. Oil fields probably, but don't think cotton gins. Youd did a pretty good job on it.
