Not sure And i havent glued the fith wheel as i thought about the raised one in the movie but i want to build the trailer first and see where it sits !! So here it is the finished product!

One pic i forgot was the power plant i just kept it the 6cyl mack maxidyne as this is what they used in the original truck.One of them did have a cummins in it.There was alot of here say of a detroit but that was just dubbed in the sound effects of the movie.I was going to hinge the bull bumper and hinge the hood but the hinge holes were ground off the frame from the previous owner so to keep a tight uniform fit i just made it a lift off hood.Just plain and simple mack engine i had to modify the intake and exhaust plumbing being i extended the hood and i made it the dual tube tip turbine air cleanerhttp://

Nice, intensive work. I have just found an ad on craigslist that alot of us rig jockeys and heavy equipment fans could be "GOLD, JERRY, GOLD I TELL YA". I am supposed to meet up this evening to gbo "shopping". In phoenix,az craigslist ad "1/24 trucks" just type that in the general for sale area, easy to find. I dont know terms fro shipping for outta states etc.. need to ask.. . This ghuy has, litterally 2 car garage full of un-built mostly sealed amt mack r series, amt mack 685st, countless 1.24 tankers, dry van, lowboy trailer kits, the construction equipment stuff, jihn deere,cats.etc, Bulldozers,tractors plows,omg! end dump trailers, kw-t600's (kw canepa same thing) a pile of sealed jeeps, swap rat is what i think they are, coca cola deliver fords, old kw 925's cab over petes(that better still be there tonight lol_) i can't keep flipping screens to let know, im 2 stokedf, 25$ per kit.RUBBER DUCK FANS!! if he will ship 25$ for those kits sealed is worth the shipping alone..phoenix.craigslist.org do the search 1/24 trucks you are here so I know you can find it. tons of pics. If all works out if shipping is an issue, maybe we can figure it out, he's not that from me so.paypal? ..theres just so many kits listed and shown that I just hope its not b.s when i get there and hope 1 of us at least can get an "ebvilbay lot price, for a shelf full of un touched goodness". check the ad, call him etc..this rd thread is was made me go shoppiung, i was only looking for build help for my freightliner cab-over( am i at the craft store again?" later guys have a good one.
