I been building on this

 

 

 

I was planing on using this Mack to pull the trailer but it looks kinda small in front of it so i`m not sure any more, what do you think???

 

 

 

I tried this one in front and it looked better i think, i`m not sure.

 

 

What do you think, shall i go for the Mack or build a coe truck or another conventional??

[Renegade]

I would go with the COE.

[Chris guthro]

Go with the cabover! That mack needs a lowboy and a dozer behind it haha. Nice builds!

Or a dump trailer.

 

Back when I was a kid all the bull racks around here were being pulled with cabovers. Mostly Internationals or Petes with a few KW 123's scattered in.

I'm with everyone else....Cabover looks good with that trailer...

[Mr mopar]

That trailer is my fav ,it looks so good with the cabover. sure would be nice if some model company make a new one.

[Hillbilly]

OK looks like everybody have the same taste as me

Then all i have to do is find me another cab over

NICE!!

Maybe these will give you some ideas.

 

With GMC Astro/95:

 

With Chevrolet Titan/90:

 

Ok, so those are sort of the same truck!  It'll look good behind whatever you decided to put in front of it.  Maybe the Peterbilt 352.

Like everyone else I say go with the cabover. In the days that this rig was on the road they were almost always pulled by cabovers. I agree a new one would be nice, but i don't see it happening.

I'd go with a kw. Stretched out. Conventional or cabover works but Up my way the Spencer's pull cattle in old w900a's.



They run sharp units.

[Hillbilly]

Thanks for all the feedback.

Nice Titan and Astro Jim

Awsome KW Freghtshaker it`s just one thing wrong with it        It`s not mine

Well i have decided it`s going to be a Kenworth coe for this trailer.

Everyone uses conventionals today, but back in the day of the 40' trailer, represented by the trailer Gard built, were almost always pulled by cabovers.

[Jim B]

Thanks, Gard.

 

A KW COE would be very "period correct" for the Wilson trailer.

[Truck parts]

Cabover would be cool looking

[redneckrodder]

an aerodyne kw coe would look sweet in front of that
