DRIPTROIT 71 Posted August 10, 2018 Author Share Posted August 10, 2018 Well I've got the interior wrapped up and the windows installed. I added sun visors, roof A/C, a CB, and the sleeper heater that was in these trucks.

It is larger diameter as well as longer than the AMT boom. The pulley is larger in diameter and has three pulley groves as well.

DRIPTROIT 71 Posted August 11, 2018 Author Share Posted August 11, 2018 A small amount of progress. It's starting to look like a truck. I still have to mount the cab and make the shifter assembly, and a few other details too.

drinkone2 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 That looks excellent Brian! If I ever finish some of the many projects I have going, I have one of those L1000's sitting in wait for a donor chassis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
