Growing up in Wisconsin I always saw trucks on the road from the Diesel/Driving School in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. My family used to joke that is where I would be going to school someday.
I found this photo on line (I don't know who the original photographer is)
And thought it would be a good project to build - I had a partially started AMT Fruehauf van - even though I never remember the school having spread axle vans, this just has a late 60's look to it.
After the white cured, I masked it off, sprayed another coat of white, then applied the red. I had very little bleed under of the red.
The logos I printed on Bare Metal Foil white decal paper.
The tractor in the photo isn't true to form, the school would have had White 7000, GMC Crackerboxes or White-Freightliners in the red/white scheme. The tractor in my photos is a Mack G daycab for Neuendorf out of Madison. I made that cab from a reworked AMT Kenworth K123 cab.
More pics are on the workbench page of my site timstrucks.comor my FOTKI site.
Thanks for looking!
