tbill Posted July 24, 2021 Author Share Posted July 24, 2021 Thanks guys. Jeff, frame color will come to me at the appropriate time, lol. I finally found the info another member sent me back in 2015 for the measurements to drop the cab to a more realistic height and still tilt properly, so I’ll be doing that on this build. I’m also using moebius wheels and some tires from Gary Wallace (GW trucks). So, stay tuned, plan to actually keep working on this when time allows.

tbill Posted September 12, 2021 Author Share Posted September 12, 2021 So, the cab hinge issue didn’t get addressed on this, as I got ahead of myself, maybe next time. But, I have been picking away at it. Here are some mock up pics… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
