Thanks Brian, i think thats them, seems like there were more stripes though..... Thats probably them, thanks man!

Anybody ever see a fleet of medium red with cream horizontal striped T800 kw's pulling flatbeds? Ive seen them before but cant remember the name

Lets go ahead and update for April before i forget. Not much progress, built the front cross member/motor mount. Got the frame clean and filled and the cab and hood is sitting ok...well good enough for now.

Nice plumbing Brian! Did you use styrene or solder?

Im gonna try that Brian, my worry is i will have to space the drives because the tires are reall wide to begin with....definitely worth a try though!

Ill post a pic of mine later, the kit comes with the hi miler 11x20's and they fit very loosely on the wheel, i tried some other tires in tje stash but nothing seems to fit nicely at all...

Has anyone else noticed that the wheels and tires from the newly releases dm600 fit like a square peg in a round hole?

Those shofters look good Brian! I dont know if i would even make a boot for them? But thats just me. Keep up the good work!

My eyes are gettin bad Brian, i didnt even see the dip stick lol!

luberefiner....secondary oil filter basically. And the air dryer removes moisture from the air system.

i got plenty! Put her in the mail! Lol, just kiddin mann slow as i work, the buildoff would be over and the next one halfway through before you get it back!

Looks good to me Brian! Cast it and send me a couple lol!

and you didn't snatch it up? I'll talk to you guys later....i gotta buy me a KW! Lol!

Nice! Those are awesome! I will definitely be ordering some!

No real updates, ive been working on what seems like an endless array of scratched suspension parts, and battling with getting everything lined up and square on the frame....not to mention sanding away on the cab still.

Lookin better every time Brian, plumbing is spot on!

Lookin good Brian!

Lookin good Dennis, I'll be watchin this one, T800's arey favorite "modern" truck....since i drive one i guess im a little partial!

Nice Brian, thats a good lookin floor pan! Cant wait to see more!

Very nice save indeed! I would have started over lol!

Thanks for the kind words fellas. Sean- ill take one of hose jackets when they come in lol!

I agree with the scratch building as a possible necessity, but during WW2, truck manufacturers were still building trucks, and they were sold to civilian Establishment's as long as it was to benefit the war effort.

Thanks for the kind words fellas. Havent made much progress, alot of planning, gathering pics and studying going on right now, stuff i shoulda done waaaaaaay before starting but oh well. I lost my grandfather a little over a month ago and that has put a big damper on things as well, because he was such a huge influence in my trucking obsession. But im pushing forward now, or at least trying to make some sort of progress. I have added another kit to this builds arsenal.... A diamond reo, basically just for the frame as i gave up on converting the dm frame. Anyway heres a pic of the latest progress, scratch built rear suspension and a modified exhaust manifold to make the engine better resemble an END673.

Aitm possibly, are you pooking for an l model?

lol!
