Curious to see what you do with it, like your direction already

Thanks Steve

Did not know that….hhhmmmm……now you got me thinking.

Ok, a DEF tank, now to figure out how to mount in and strap it.

I know I just bought one for stock, and just tore apart everything and can’t find it. So making one out of my fuel tank stock I have. Those come in a ton of sizes and shapes so making it to sit close to the tank. See how this goes

Well darn, didn’t think about a DEF tank. Implemented since 2010 on semi trucks.

Getting fuel tanks built and quick mock-up

Thanks Lee

Axle assembly , the brake chamber/actuator on the right came in the kit, the definition looks like a single chamber air brake. The brake chamber on the left are from ST Supply and have much more definition, now if I can use the better chambers on actuator from axle kit.

Like the new direction and colors

Oohhhhhh, lm liking those photos, never given much thought to a custom Cabover, but my mind is running amuck now. Can’t wait to see what you do. Watching

Thanks Lee

That’s a sharp paint job, well done.

Not sure until my other cab arrives with smaller sleeper, my frame rails will be cut to length also.

Mock-up to see if frame width will work, suspension and cab fit.

Starting to see a frame.

Did get a set of wheels built up, still need paint and finish work, but all the chrome is gone. Not 100% happy with tire to rim fit but would work. Got paint ordered yesterday, trying to follow the color scheme of the inspiration truck.

Building inner and outer frame rails for the C500 from I-beam to get the flange width correct. One side complete, now to start on second frame rails for the, just gonna leave the frame rails at 12 inches for now. Still waiting on correct cab and axle parts.

Fantastic, well done

Hey Wolf, how da heck are ya? Thanks for the kind words

Good read on your post. The mirrors on my KW925 caused me stress as well, I sprayed painted Revell for the shiny side and it shows every imperfection as well, but I was undecided on using chrome tape of some sort. I think your tape/film looks better.

Watched your build thread, very outstanding build, that Brockway looks great.

Headed to under glass, but are you doing a build thread on the GMC?

Yup, I am hoping to clip them off and use then as just lug nuts, aligning the wheels on the drive hub, I am using a different drive hub that came with my axles. Well at least that is the game plan ……or…….more parts for my “box of bad ideas” .

Well I got educated the last couple days, the offset for rear dual wheels from many different kits vary a lot, little unsure why. The wheels I thought about using are from the GMC General, but lug nut detail is poor and not convincing. So after some digging I ordered a set of 10 hole Alcoa wheels and separate lug nuts. The inspiration truck has dark gray wheels with chrome lug nuts, so shooting for that look.
