Oldcarfan27 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Very simple, tough, no nonsense work machine. Effective fleet hauler. Looks just like they did back then. No dazzle, just business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRIPTROIT 71 Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 I like everything about this build! Excellent work all the way around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseeJerry55 Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Very nicely done. If possible could you post some pics of the cab tilted so I can see the exhaust tubing set up from the exhaust manifold to the bottom of the stack. I’m planning on doing a SD with a single stack similar to yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafsprings Posted June 26, 2022 Author Share Posted June 26, 2022 (edited) Thanks all for the positive comments! A few simple modifications back dates the WF kit a couple of years. For single exhaust, I cut the kits crossover pipe and added a short 90 degree angle with a little putty work tapered up to the smaller exhaust manifold flange. I don't have the best camera, hope this helps. Edited July 24, 2022 by leafsprings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leafsprings Posted July 8, 2022 Author Share Posted July 8, 2022 (edited) Thanks! I'm a big fan of old school fleet trucks. Would have liked to include a resin 70's looking Teamster driver, maybe short hair with long sideburns?
