I tried that already Charles,,,I've contacted Miller Industries who bought out Holmes ,,,can't help me ,,,I went so far as to contact the Towing Museum in Chattanooga Tennessee ...old brochures/pictures/sales literature is no problem . If it comes down to it I would scratchbuild ,,but some dimensions would be nice ,,,,I went through this with the FDNY and my Autocar wrecker

Thanks Brian,what I did was with clear inkjet decal paper print out the lettering in the font I wanted a "dulux gold" color with a black outline,then hit the paper with Tamiya Flat Clear ,then I hand painted each letter inside the black outline with Tamiya Chrome Silver,and then when that dried followed up with Tamiya Clear Yellow and a hint here and there of Tamiya Clear Orange and Clear Red ,,then hit again with Flat Clear -

Cab is one with the chassis, started exhaust system,pass side mirror and fuel tank on, attached front bumper ,I did that with BMF so I can hold that if need be instead of the grille/rad shell .Did the "gold leaf" decals for the red panels that will go on the dump body .I'll do the cab signal/head/marker/park lights and air horns last -

Clear coat dulls it up a bit,,,it's more durable than Alclad though ,,the radiator shell/grille not being a separate part,,makes it a little tough to work around -

Here's a pic of the underpinnings...I did a bit of black wash on some stuff ,,,probably going with a theme of a "clean but somewhat normal dirt and grime working restored repowered 1965 Mack B-61 dump truck" lol .Also put the decals I made on the doors,,,,considering I had to hand paint the "gold leaf" in my black outline it didn't come out too bad ,,,should show up better on the panels I'm doing for the dump body .I might clear coat the cab tonight so I can get rolling on assemby -

Brian,I took a piece of rectangular tubing and sliced it about a 30 degree angle at the pump end,,sorta making it like angular reinforcements ,and drilled a hole where the pto shaft would go thru .The other end is attached to the crossmember I added at the frame stretch point . I'll make sure and take a picture next round -
