Thanks again. Lee, a special thanks for the ideas for the parts I was missing, headlights, etc. I appreciate the input!

From your photos, castings look very good. Will look forward to seeing this one built up.

Thanks all!

Absolutely amazing work!

Looks good!

Nice work, I like that trailer better as a 2 axle.

Calling it done, see Under Glass thread:

Calling this one done. Cab from Jimmy Flintstone, Chassis, engine, wheels, tires, interior from Lindberg Dodge. Headlights from AITM, fuel tanks from AITM's Rubber Duck kit and cut down, steps from Auslowe. Move the exhaust to veritical. Colors are Tamiya red chassis, Testors dark pearl green acrylic with Testors light green accent and interior. Loosely based on a 1956 White 3000 I saw at a show many years ago. Altered the suspension to remove some of the forward rake but the prototype has a noticable front rake so I left some in.

I always wondered why they put military style NDT's on a civie truck. Can't recall ever seeing them outside the military, they really aren't good on pavement. Fair on dirt roads, not good in mud and on wet pavement, you might as well be driving on ice. There are much better choices.....

No problem, I do it myself more often than I care to admit.

Nope, that is post WW2, the one I'm asking about is 1941 and looks more like the Fords, Dodges and Chevys of the time. http://jimmyflintstonestudios.com/?product=nb257-1941-willys-cab-over-cab

I see that Jimmy Flintstone makes a casting of what they call a 1941 Willys COE. Searching the net and a couple of ID books I have don't reveal any such thing. Is this a fantasy or did it really exist?

This is my first experience doing this, I feel the pain!

Looks like an interesting project, glad you chose the Crackerbox.

Interior is now installed, next are the vent windows and windshield. Lights and mirrors after that.

Chassis making progress, still need exhaust and mudflaps. Cab is slow, waiting on parts.

I think I found it in the Truck Talk section. Thanks

Thanks but that's not the thread I was referring to. It started by someone asking where to get the plastic tubing that came with a trailer kit. It was much more recent, maybe within the last 6 months. There was a craft-store reference to very small tubing...

I recall seeing a thread a few (or more) months back where someone was looking for source for additional air lines (the rubber tubing) that came in a trailer kit. I have looked through almost all of the threads and topics and can't seem to find it. There was a suggestion of a craft supply that sounded good as a source. I'm hoping that someone remembers that thread and can point me to it. Tried searching, came up empty. Thanks.

Not sure about the hubcaps. I'm looking around for something suitable but not finding what I want. May leave them off for now and add them later if I find what I want. Still have a long way to go before it's done.

Nice looking rig, I recognize lots of Auslowe parts!

Truck looks great but the diorama really makes it look real.

Great paint job, that Aztek pearl can be tough. I thought it was the copper pearl at first.

Heh, heh, heh! Thanks

Update: Chassis is well under way, just some details needed. Interior is about done, cab is painted. Still a long way from finished.....
