This is a Pelletier logging truck from Dennis Raper like the ones on the "American Loggers" TV show. The truck was built using a Ralph Ratcliffe Mack RD800 resin cab. The model has Ralph's fuel tanks, battery boxes, air horns, tires and wheels, and bumper. The cab is mounted on a Herpa Kenworth chassis with a Herpa steering kit added. Dennis added a Plano frame step, crossover deck, and photo-etched "Bulldog" mirrors.The "Pelletier" door decals are from William Brillinger and additional decals are from Microscale. The headache rack was scratchbuilt from styrene and the exhaust stacks are from the parts box. The trailers are Athearn 48' container chassis with mud decks and bunks built from styrene. The bull mooose is from Preiser and the "snow" is from Woodland Scenics.
