Thanks Jeff. Hoping to get the Sleeper on tomorrow. And thanks again for your help.

This evening I added some of the cab components; Cab lights, Air Horns, Wipers, Luberfiner, Aircleaner, Stacks and the Quarter Fenders The Stacks were a nightmare but I got them the best I could lots of cutting and refitting them. More updates tomorrow.

Thanks Gary I appreciate it.

Thanks I appreciate it. I tried to match the dash as close as I could.

Yep. Mom and Dad had a 1974 and Bill had a 1973 know all about the comfy interior ?. Thanks for stopping by Steve.

Thanks I appreciate it. This tedious work takes me long than it used to. I thought I came close enough to what I was aiming for.

Finished the interior the other night.

Thanks I appreciate it.

Thanks for the complement I appreciate it. Yes they were very focused on that and the interior options. They were a eye catcher for sure making PACCAR a run for their money at the time. Glad you stopped by.

Did Jerry go out of Business? Been checking the website nothing

Thanks Jeff. While you have it out checking it might as well build it ?

Yes they are

Ok after Jeff “Biggu” reaching out to me and his great suggestions I think I have found how to make this Windshield fit better. Thanks again Jeff I appreciate it. First as Jeff suggested I removed some of the material from the back and also around the whole windshield and it worked as it gave it more flexibility and cutting some off the back makes a looser fit as well. Enjoy the pics.

Looking good I think. I also use Scotch Tape for years but this weekend I found out after all these years using it the tape pulled some black primer and some silver off of the Black Primer. I think I didn’t let it set up good lesson learned. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Steve. About time you show up still a few seats in the front row. Yes the General was a pretty good truck if the owner took care of it but I dove one the steering column was wore and the dash was falling a part. I also drove a beautiful orange 1985 GMC general that was cherry tight steering tight steering column and a dash that didn’t rattle or was coming apart. Thanks for stopping by

Thanks I was thinking that I was hoping some with a General has done this so I know for sure where thickness needs addressed. Thanks for your help

Ok I usually don’t get on here and ask stupid questions but this one has me stumped. As I remember many years ago the glass in these General and Bison never fit so tight. I was wondering if any of you guys are experiencing the same problem I am and how did you make it fit better. I pressed mine in the cab and it blew out the center post but it can be fixed. Thanks for your input.

Thanks I appreciate your complement. Yes it’s going to look good I hope sitting with the Astros and Titans I have.

This is going to be a good looking truck your hard work is paying off. Thanks for sharing.

Looks awesome and well worth the extra space.

Gary I appreciate your complement. I hope it will.

Thanks I really appreciate your nice complement. I would like to drive this one too I didn’t think it was going to turn out like this. I’ll have more updates later. Glad your sticking around.

Last night I got the wheels on the chassis. The chassis was very warped I did my best to straighten it when I put the wheels on had to do some adjustments. More updates later.

Nice looking truck and a great project. I’ll be following along.

Always seated for a Acar build. Going to be a cool one
