If your a Facebooker then there’s a great possibility you have seen the project getting undertaken by all at Phillip Judge International. The above Scania R620 is being completely converted to flat bed wagon and drag for carrying straw bales, tractors or what ever else you can carry on a flat bed (that’s very a lot). The driver will be the one and only Will Pringle, yes he of other notable custom truck fame. As you can see the truck began life as a hydraulic loader and was purchased from nicely recognized Dutch truck dealer VSB Groep.
More than to Mr Pringle to inform us all we require to know
“VSB stripped and fitted the new facelift grill and it had been to Steves Location (truck customiser in Holland) for the fitment of the changeover valve and pipe function also side pipe. Then James Burrow did the fitting of streamline corners added lighting headboard roof rack and ladders,also rear bumper! The body was produced by Euro Axles at Stoke on Trent. The chassis was extended by Northwest Commercials at Preston. The full pain2rk was completed by Ian Bone & sons and of course the airbrush perform was carried out by Matt the painter. All the electrics carried out by Kev Larkin. After finished at Bones’ it is going Coles Customs for full interior rebuild and the fabrication of lockers, tank wraps and different other small tweaks.”
What a adjust from how she started life back in 2008, a different country and a distinct way of life by all accounts
“Yeah I know, it’s originally from Norway and I think it was a fridge motor. VSB had just finished placing the cable lift side skirts bulbar and almost everything on it when we went to appear at it in Holland.”
The truck is nearing completion and does now appear close to what the completed show ready article will look like. Realizing a tiny bit about Will in positive he’ll be carrying out all he can get all the little touches carried out to the truck that will make it a reduce above most of the rest. I look forward to seeing it when it comes out if the Coles Customs workshop. I will do an additional update as and when it seems and prior to it hits the road to claw back some of the price of making such an amazing operating truck.
p.s. The 3 series sun visor is a best match to the Higher Line cab.
