That looks completely AWESOME!!!!

Thanks!!

Thanks!!

Very nice work!! I really like the colors!! Great job on the daycab conversion!!

Beautiful build!! Very clean! Excellent work!!

Not working right now on my laptop with Firefox and Windows 7. Working on my phone with Safari.

I can’t find a rhyme for or reason. It works then it don’t. Sometimes my phone will work and my laptop won’t. Sometimes my desktop will and my laptop won’t. Sometimes my laptop works and my phone doesn’t. Sometimes it kicks me out in the middle of a post. No clearing seems to work , only waiting. Tried Chrome, Firefox, and my phone runs Safari. I’m just post this so the moderators will have an idea of how odd this seems to be.

Looks great Pat!! I think that you captured the look of the original pretty well!

Broke again. Same image appears.

Nice looking clean build!! It is very bright! Great work!

Thanks Dennis!!

Thanks!

It's back. I was unable to access with my laptop for 30 minutes after it kick me out and the image in the first post appeared.

What is really weird is that my desktop will access the site with Chrome right now but my laptop will not. My phone wouldn’t access earlier, but now it will. ????

I just got kicked off on my computer at home right after I posted this and cannot access the site from my computer. My phone is working fine right now though.

My experience with van trailers is from the 80's. Most of the ones that I had dealings with had wood floors. The only metal or aluminum floors that I saw were on refers. I'm not saying that this was the rule, just my experience. The boards were planks made of narrow boards glued together. You can see the narrow strips in the planks. And yes they would get holes and have to be patched.

I got it last night, but interestingly enough my phone would work but my computer wouldn't. I tried Chrome and Firefox. Today my phone wouldn't work.

Looks Great!!

Looks Awesome so far!

I know that Testors lacquer is not as hot as most lacquer, but it's a good rule of thumb to never spray lacquer over enamel. If the Wal-Mart paint was enamel, that may be part of the problem.

Well I've got started on the cab, but nothing really to show yet.

I've seen some pictures of restored trucks with pogo sticks, but the only original image that I could find looked like the hose were hanging from below the back window on the cab. With it being a short wheelbase worker, I would probably hang them off the cab, but I don't think that either way would be incorrect.

Now that's a sharp detail!!

That looks great!! Excellent work!! Pat, I'm no expert, but from what I understand many of the strait trucks had hydraulic and vacuum assist but the K-8 and KB-8 road tractors had air brakes. I know that air brakes were available.

I like how you turned this workhorse into a custom cruiser. Looks great!
