Was thinking the same thing.... Awesome job on the build, VERY realistic!!!! DJ

Great looking build..... What horse ratings do those MB engines have???? DJ

Hey there Scott...… Basically the 220 and 250 were alike, with the most obvious exception, the NH220 has external fuel lines (go into Google images and look at the "intake" side and you will see fuel lines running from the fuel pump into external fittings in the heads. When you type in NH250 you'll notice the fuel lines are not running "thru" the heads, but rather run "inside" of the heads to feed the individual cylinders). They used (basically) the same other components (but as you stated, there were many variations). Hope that helps brother.... Look forward to seeing your build!!! DJ

Now that is WAY TOO COOL!!!! What year span were those trucks built? DJ

X2!!!!! Looks like the real thing!!!! DJ

ditto!!!! DJ

Beautiful job of chopping the top, and the old "flattie"...…. WAY TOO COOL!!!!! DJ

Awesome job on the Sprinter, Tony!!!! Love the added details!!!! DJ

My purchases from Steve have been primarily at shows. Has always been a FIRST CLASS person. He handles products from (obviously) "different" suppliers...… Some of the things that I have gotten were "thin wall", very nice units....some were "rather chubby" and required some "thinning down", but, all in all, I have ALWAYS been happy with my dealings with Steve. DJ

One FANTASTIC build!!!!! Been watching this from the start, and your "stick-to-it" for staying "period correct" earns you a BIG two-thumbs-up!!! AWESOME JOB!!!! DJ

X2 !!!! Been following this build, and is some GREAT work!!!!! Can't wait to see the final product. DJ

That is some of the BEST looking work I've seen in quite some time!!!!! GREAT JOB!!!! And, as Christian said, It really DOESN'T MATTER whether it was "in service" for the Army or not... The execution of the build and the quality of work are both FIRST CLASS!!!! Either way, GREAT JOB!!!!! DJ

Early 50's GMC "Cannonball" cab-overs...….. DJ

In keeping your 40 Ford Gasser "period correct" to 1962, yes the Pie-crust slicks would be correct...…. The "event" that was probably "responsible" for the end of the M&H Pie-crust slicks was in the spring of 1965 when Goodyear got Dick Landy to bring his injected 426/ awb Dodge A/FX car to Fontana Dragstrip for a tire comparison against their new "wrinkle wall" slicks. Landy's car with the "pie-crusts" left the line carrying the front tires about six inches off the ground, then they put on the "wrinkle-walls"...…. The car launched so hard that it literally stood on the back bumper!!! The rest is history...….. DJ

Got curious about the "PETTY BLUE" so went into Wikipedia"s history about the color...………... According to them, the color was created by the PETTY family (this is according to RICHARD ) when they were preparing to paint a racecar, and there was not enough white or dark blue to paint the whole car, and the "blend" of the two colors resulted in "PETTY BLUE". Cool chunk of history...….. Loved the story!!!! DJ

Knowing that there is only ONE "Petty Blue",(did not know the correct name for it tho) and that the pictures on the "net" make them "seem" lighter or darker, that's why there was the "" Cool to see another Petty fan!!!! DJ

Almost think that, if you looked thru Google Images, at the different PETTY ENTERPRISES race cars, you might find one of the shades of "Petty Blue" & white that would work...… DJ
