TAT GMC crackerbox


Recommended Posts

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 ]

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?

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.
