mchook Posted September 17, 2021 Author Share Posted September 17, 2021 I've been trying to get the cab cleaned up and to get the stance I want. I'm not sure what engine I'll be using, Mopar, Ford or Cummins 5.9 from "iceman". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mchook Posted September 19, 2021 Author Share Posted September 19, 2021 Thanks guys for the great comments. I got a little paint on the chassis and narrowed the front end to make these giant wheels fit in between the fenders. I've been trying to mock this up a little more and I found something that's not quite right with the cab. She seems to be a little fat at the bottom and it's leaving a big gap between the cab & box at the top. The 1:1 truck is pretty straight down the back. If I'm going to fix this what would be the best way, cut a wedge at the door line and pull the bottom in or does someone have a better idea? PLEASE HELP! Not only that, the box looks more like a 1950 Chevy box & fenders than an International. It's not really a big deal just more work I didn't figure I'd have to do.

mchook Posted September 21, 2021 Author Share Posted September 21, 2021 Well, I took a chance and cut some out of the cab. It's not perfect but much better if you ask me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks guys. I've been looking at the box and realized it's just a 1950 Chevy box & fenders with International on the tailgate. I was going to try to make them look more like an International but it's going to be easier to just make my own. I'm using 41 Chevy sides, 53 Ford fenders and some styrene.

I was glad to see you corrected the rear cab wall problem. That really improves the side profile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
