Just been fiddling around for weeks. I need parts from three vendors and everything is in slow mow because of Covid. Truck is going in a box and moving on to other unfinished projects.Got plenty to work on.

The model is a two axle FLD 112 short hood with electronic intercooled M-11 power and 48 inch midroof sleeper which is jifflox equiped. It represents a western fleet tractor from a large fictious LTL common carrier fleet. It is not a replica of any particular fleet. Originnally I didn't know wtheher it would be condo cab, midroof or flatroof.

Basic tractor chassis and jifflox chassis complete

Cummins M 11

Cab, hood and air shield primed. rear axle set.

One more photo. rear cab mount and exhaust rack

Finally got some photos to upload. Short hood , basic M 11 fitted, Cab converted to short mid roof. No roof yet. Roof roughed in. Lots of finishing to do and add visor.

The same parts are avaliable on Shapeways. Maybe expensive.

Thanks for the posting help.

Have photos of progress in February but I have problems between my phone and laptop. Build a short hood , hence the FLD 112 designation. Have built lower portion of integrated 48 inch sleeper cab. need to build the midroof. Frame rails are made and front is built to mount Cummins M 11 power. photos as soon as I can figure things out , I am not that technical. Thanks.

No progress in January

I think Moluminium has what you are looking for
