scubadiver411 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I am building my first big truck and I am getting ready to paint the box.... On the parts tree there are two long thin pieces that are the lenth of the box and about an inch wide (part #137), there are also two shorter pieces that aren't quite the width of the box and about 1/2 inch wide (also part #137). Anyone know what these 4 pieces are used for ?? I can't find them on the instruction sheet anywhere and can't figure out where they could or should go.... Any help would be greatly appreciated on this. Thank-you... STEVE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackinac359 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Steve Those are left over from the original version of the kit when it had full-length Ryder Rental decals. Those are for mounting the decals to the side of the box. The shorter piece was for mounting the RYDER text decal. Tim I am building my first big truck and I am getting ready to paint the box....

scubadiver411 Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 Thanks for the info... I won't feel bad now if I use them to make storage boxes out of them to put under the box along the frame rails. STEVE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Really? That's what those are for? I was wondering the same thing; just never thought to ask. Where exactly do they go? I'm building the Short Hauler as a Ryder truck. Do I need those parts? What color should they be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackinac359 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 They were for the 1971 style Ryder graphics with a full length horizontal red/white/black stripe. The color would be sort of a lemon yellow. Tim Really? That's what those are for? I was wondering the same thing; just never thought to ask. Where exactly do they go?

Jim B Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 That's the one I'm doing. Looks like one goes on the rear door, too. I'm using the Tamiya Yellow. That's pretty bright yellow. Makes your eyes hurt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
