DRIPTROIT 71

Looks great! The color is perfect!! Great work!!

I've been wanting one ever since I first saw this one. I just need to source a 6v-53 for it.

Thanks Bruce!!

There is a set from Ron Cash on Ebay right now.

What he said!!

Kerry is right, that is the power steering reservoir. Many trucks have luberfiners mounted in the same location that look similar. Some Peterbilts had both a Luberfiner and the power steering reservoir mounted in this location.

Looks incredible!!!

Thanks Jeff! I would never turn down help like that!

I usually get stuff from Jamie in about 2 weeks or less. Have you tried to contact him?

Thanks Jeff!!

Looks great!! I always like your choice in colors!

Very impressive work to say the least!! I've been wanting to fabricate a Holmes 750 set up, maybe I should just contract it out to you.

I just wanted to give some encouraging words to everyone especially the administration. First: I want to thank Gregg for this FREE forum that has been a real help and encouragement to me regarding my model building. Second: I want to thank Dave for keeping this thing running. Third: I want to thank Micheal for taking on moderation. Last: I want to thank everyone here who has encouraged me on every one of my builds. I'm not going to mention names for fear of missing someone, but you know who you are. Thanks to those who sent that part from far away places to finish my project. I truly enjoy this forum and it is my hope that it is here for a long time to come! THANK YOU ALL!!! Brian

Blue valve is tractor only parking brake. Wedge brakes were not a favorite of most, but was found on other trucks. The company that I used to work for had a former Matlack R model with wedge brakes.

Thanks so much!!!

That is one sharp looking rig!! Excellent work on every part!!! The green trucks do look better than the white! I wanted to build one of these years ago in the days before the world wide web. A CF driver that I knew was going to get me some reference pictures since they had quit using cabovers at that time. Years went by he retired, and I never saw any pictures.

That looks very Cool!!

That looks incredible!! Excellent work!!

Looks great!!

Wow! Looks great! Let's see some more! Welcome to the forum!

It looks Awesome!! The color is perfect!! Excellent work on the bed too!! Top notch all around!!! Were did you get the drive tires?

He's still going strong. Check out his website if you haven't already.

Wow! Excellent fabrication!!

Depending on how accurate you are wanting to be. The one pictured is a tube type split rim, those sold by Double Take and Moluminum are tubeless style. Both Double Take and Moluminum have excellent rims, but they will vary slightly from this rim. They are as you said "regular five hole." Most people would probably not notice the difference. You may also contact Dave at A.I.T.M.. He used to sell rims like these, but I'm not sure if he still does. Another option if you're looking for rears only is the Ertl kit wheels. The ones on the back of my Highbinder are resin copies of those. Those can be found in the Paystar kit and in the Transtar II with chrome hubs. Gary didn't list any wheels on the list that I received from him last year.

Cool project! Lifted 4x4 is definitely the way to go! I like it!!
