[jacobus]

Gator , i found a brochure and there stood a wheelbase from 146 inch and 164 inch , mack diesel , 6 cil-138 hp/ 2400 rpm

so i am a little bit closer to some answers

and found 1 picture of a model A with tandem axles [ truck and trailer ]

the other i found was a dump ore mixer style chassis

and when i found something i like this more and more

jacobus

[jacobus]

have found info for the wheelbase so now i have put the size on the frame

here a picture how its must come

and found a nice color whats look like the old green of that time [ just for the color , picture is not sharp ]

tonight make verything on the chassis and also found info how the exhaust wil go

just a pipe thats go to the back of the chassis and before the last crosmember pointin to the ground 

if the temp go a little bit up i put the 3 mack,s in the primer , now its everytime round zero , and where i paint its to cold

the color i wil use is yellow whit black accents
