first thank you guy,s for those kinds words now just doing a little building and slow gettin build more as you can see dont forget its for fun and i like those old us truck,s , i like also old truck,s from the past in my country and there are some old mack,s involved the N-type , the used for heavy loads but first the old crackerbox for now jacobus

so you have can see that i build together with Hermann on this project we wil make some differents between both trucks , but stil have the front set back axle its a challenge to do something like this and fun , thats important i think here some pictures of my build sofar other fueltanks stil make here the new headlights and also new windshieldwipers and now make the adjustments for the exhaust stack andsteering unit etc jacobus

so there is one nr two i wil posted also its fun to have a duobuild great to do jacobus

thank you Gator i stil dont know if i make the single drive ore the tandem , both are lookin so nice for a greyhound moving vaan i wil say , single drive so ...... a look for both how it looks on the chassis jacobus

after a break [ my sister past away ] i start slowly back with the build of this one i wil use the tandem set up and first i want make it good on the chassis with the correct high on this picture it must about 4 mm up to make it correct like the real pictures i have found and it make,s also a ggod room for the engine til the next time i am not only workin on the gmc you wil seen soon the new item of a icoon from the past jacobus

lookin good so far jacobus

that color!!!!! great!! that is something to use , like this colorcombo jacobus

have done not much as only the engine built new computer so must instal some things to put the picture,s on it and yes , it wil be a single axle with a moving van jacobus

Jim , i have see it guy,s now i have a problem , i have seen a very nice picture of a GMC Crackerbox with a movingvan , its a single drive from greyhound i have the decals almost for a year in house [ from jerry reeter ] can i switch the chassis and wil be no problem for the TAT 2018 , here is the single drive chassis if you say no than i use the tandem chassis but no movingvan but it looks so good jacobus

i have see this on my table and hold it [ no cracks , its stisl oke ] have everything from a close range seen on this project , because i have talk him in to it LOL and i like his skills go on with this and i wil see it when the rivets are come on this one jacobus

pppfff , thats bad , lot of work and than ...... have it some years ago , the pigments of the two paints wil give a chemical reaction so clean it and start over again and than i use paint from the same company, no problems but i am stil love this old girl jacobus

looks great , like it sofar those wheels are nice jacobus

thanks guy,s so the V6-71 engine is arrived so clean it and put it together and also with the gearbox and than give him that very special green jacobus

have make som plumbing on the cat and his gearbox on the engine when everything is good than the primer and paint jacobus

hello , i have make the fenders with woodglue to the cab so i can figured out where the battery box etc can come on the chassis and i can make the support for it , also for the aircleaner , so now its must a little move back but now i know the sizes i have ordered a V6 engine for this old lady but if its take to long a take the V8-71 jacobus

hello jim , you want something like this front , you know where i have it from now i use a italeri 49 ft trailer because the sidewalls are good for the old look , so cut and lower it to a 30 ore 32 ft trailer , i think thats the correct size of that time ?? still a lot of cuttin and saw and try to make it looks good for a old style trailer jacobus

beside the other projects i am also workin on a leader , a australian truck from long time ago , there is not much to find but i have a brochure and that helps for the info , like the engine , suspension so here a couple of picture,s of this old lady the donor is the italeri australian truck but remove the airsuspension and replace a rockwell 6 rod under the chassis , also a cat 3408 cut a piece of the radiator and replace the top that is for the right high so the hood wil fit the cat fits nice in the chassis and now can the gearbox mount to the engine and also the suspension also make the back of the chears close , it looks better and nice and clean now just put everything in the primer til the next time

this its in the box have put him deep under the stash otherwise i wil start with this one jacobus
