Ill 5 or 6 down there. The 6th 1 will be squeezin time. Im hopin to get it done this weekend.

I got ya. Sean, his avatar pic is the ford. The pics of the truck were under glass but he removed them. It was white with a half round end dump trailer

I heard you guys were gettin a cold front and expecting snow. You might wanna heat your garage so you can keep paintin when the snow gets above your roof

Anthony, what are those blacks, a western star and a superliner

Anthony, the thought did seriously cross my mind doin a ford similar to yours

Ok. Thanks everyone. I think i have a direction now. Time to start tracking down parts.

I really like your road boss. Wanna kinda go for that look, with sbfa.

Ok, the cab is all thats similar.

Whats the difference between the road boss and reo, besides the hood and badging. Im just thinkin of saving a few pennies if the parts are basically the same

Great idea. I love that movie. Very under rated IMO, special effects were way ahead of the time, at the time. I will be following the build.

I do agree Sean, the frame does look bulky. Im really leanin toward a sbfa reo. Im gonna be ordering pete hoods from Gary anyway. Does anybody have a spare 1st drive axle, the 1 with both in/output driveshafts. Kinda gettin some creative gears turnin now.

I do have enough 2 hole buds for truck and trailer too. This trailer has been a real headache. Ive owned it maybe 2 hours now.

I do like the set back axle idea. The trailer looks tough with 3 axles, the set back axle would make it look a bit tougher

Ive even thought of makin a 5 or 6 axle truck out of it. But that went out the window once i got the super singles. I know the truck wont be stretched. I have another ca hauler, but i can always use an excuse to buy another kit.

I just picked this trailer up today. My mind is goin round and round and round trying to decide what truck i should build for it. The trailer will be rollin on super singles. I do know the truck will be a day cab for sure. So what should it be, pete, road boss, western star, international, autocar. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated

HA, Uncle Rico. Foolball star!

Heres a freight shaker or a pete with a drom. Maybe this will inspire you to do another project.

Thats the sad part. Its so dry out here in the west, the cant soak in, it just runs off and turns to mud. Out here in Riverside, they got really hard for about an hour and a half. The water was knee deep and deeper in places. Knocked over trees. It was a wild cell that came through yesterday.

Looks good. Looks like a well worked truck. Very nice weathering

When your born dumb, its for a long time. That came from a guy i worked with who repeatedly told the owner of the company to his face f you, when asked to do something he didn't like. Then wondered why he got fired

I know im rookie at this building plastic. I still use testors red tube and good ol super glue. I havent had any issues.

The wild weather out here is inconvenient at times but you get scenery like this.

YES, that is the MOST practical use right there.
