jacobus Posted April 19, 2018 Author Share Posted April 19, 2018 so , thats a monster of a engine its was a very nice day to put the primer on the cab question about the engine , i think i can use the engine of the donorkit , have see a brochure where different engine,s type was printed [ V6-V8 ] so i think that is good here a picture of the cab with a trailerfront old style to use for a old trailer [ not for the gmc ] also a leader to build on the back jacobus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 (edited) Most Crackerboxes had either the Detroit Diesel 6-71 or the 6V71. Not sure about the 8V71, but I suppose it's possible on later models. Where did you get the 1950's style trailer nose, and what's that other cab in the background?

Hermann Kersten Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 (edited) Hi Koos, I like this project and im sure it gonna be a beauty again, like all the other ones on the shelf. For the colours i dont know, but when the info is lacking, then you have to guess a bit, for what was the most obvious colour and style in that time.
