This is gonna look great ! I scoured my parts box for possible wheels for ya, but nothing came close enough

Looking good from here ! Hopefully something from the box of parts will help ya along on this

Amazing transformation! !the workmanship is perfect, and unbelievable how fast you turned this cab into reality

I dont recall anything specific. .it was about 20 yrs ago back before using references to make everything correct took over my hobby !

Great color choice on the 32

Very cool build ! I built several of these kits when they first came out, between them and the IROC Z I couldn't get enough. Wish I'd kept the boxes we stored thm in now Keep up the great work

Man that's perfect boy does that blue pop!

Most of the wires / hoses builders add around here are sourced from places like telephone wire, small diameter wire can be purchased at craft stores usually in the jewlery making isles. Small gauge solder is a favorite of mine, very flexible and takes paint easily. Fishing line works also Springs I just make from wrapping small diameter wire around drill bit, and cutting to desired length. I try to avoid buying the specialty stuff when possible , when most of the details can be made from common household items.. Under hood insulation - cut a shop towel..like those blue ones mechanics have rolls of and glue on w white glue or tacky glue.. Hope this helps get ya started

Kerry- there's an 8v71 in the pete wrecker kit headed your way ! It should be complete

Nice truck in the planning stage !! Can't wait to see this build under way

Looks good Pat

That's why this forum is so wonderful, there's so many knowledgeable people willing to help us builders out at a seconds notice . Being able to explain the tweaks to make these trucks period correct is so important for realism, and depending on time period !

That's a great direction to take this project

I have a parts truck of this if ya find something missing let me know. I'm clearing out all the extra kit stuff that's accumulated over the few yrs. Clutter drives me nuts

Great build of a truck commonly seen in the towns highway depts. The small dump box looks perfect on this truck

I actually found a 4000 series cab and hood cast by Dave carey, might work for the style I was looking at. We had Thomas buses around here

I've been doing research on the IH school bus lately too ! Been searching for a hood from the 2575 IH tractor Gary wallace suggested using the IH motor from the farm tractor kit as a base for the DT-466T engine.

nice work on the rollers ! looking forward to your progress enjoy your vacation!

Fantastic work, the color combination is awesome !!

the data plate says South Bend lathe works, looks exactly like one we have at work fantastic works so far

Thank you

Thanks !! The huge rubber definitely makes it look rugged , just the look I was after Wish my phone took better pictures, the outside ones don't really show the details that well

Thanks everyone Gator ya missed a really good show, the truck tables were overflowing w builds

Time to get smashing lol Can't wait to see your trademark paint scheme on this one

Thank you for all the comments I'm glad everyone likes it !! I took inspiration from everyone work on here to build it. Building a replica of an old classic is always fun
