Mock up time ! Using the round fuel tank option, installed the proper hangers and rear cab support.
Next up I gotta scratch the air blower / vacuum canisters used to power the pneumatic trailer .I'm testing a few spare air cleaners from parts kits
I sorted out the frame issue , and moved on to the engine while everything dried . I'm searching for pics of the injection lines and plumbing for the Maxidyne engine to add some needed detail

I used the Ford f350 dually reissue , tossed the boring motor for a 2016 Ford Coyote 5.0..then got bored w it..someday
Think the 5.0 is going into the Foose FD 100?
Wow cool project ! I have a 53 crew car hauler I painted then lost interest.
Cool idea chopping the back half making a regular cab
What frame ya sticking under it, mine was the Ford dually
Bare plastic here if I haven't done any significant body work. Coming from the armor side , spraying primer was frowned upon since details would get covered up. I figure the plastic is smooth enough after a proper cleaning
First update for the kickoff..the frame going together. I cleaned off the ejector pins inside the frame rails for better fit..guess it helped .
Of course with these amt kits..fits together and good instructions are subjective..still haven't figured out the fit of the trunnion support rod.
Instructions show the bar fitting down in the fish mouth grooves..not happening. Any tips ?

Very cool truck !
What's the purpose of the screen below the windshield ? I assume it's an aussie thing since it has a roo catcher too, stone deflector maybe ? The reason I ask theres pics of aMack Ultraliner with the same screen looks killer
Thanks Brian !
I'm starting the build today..just a few errands to tackle ! Quick visit to eye dr for new glasses , been noticing a change sucks getting old
Which artograph booth do u have ? I just ordered the 1530 for painting after talking w tbill who owns one and highly endorsed it. Venting it outdoors thru a window should handle most your fumes
I've also used Createx Wicked Paints and love them..but their not available in spray cans
