I bought this truck back in 1986 at my local Hobby Shop. The Box in the background is for a reference. I painted it as a Dohrn Transfer Truck and a couple years ago I dug it out of storage and painted the cab a Camouflage Tan. This weekend I decided to start rebuilding this truck from my teenage years. This is what I have so far. I rebuilt the frame and put the engine back together and painted both.

Worked on this one a little tonight. Added the interior and some cab details unfortunately some I’ve lost over the years an have to replace. I also added the stack and air cleaner. I don’t like the way the one looks going from the air breather to the blower so I’m going to remove it and fix it up a little.
