Couple more pic's of our Pete's these are of our 65 narrow nose, 350 cummins, 13 spd, aluminum frame, over a million miles, now pretty much a show truck, still gets used occasionaly, the 69 352 i just got and our 87 362, 350 cat, 9 spd. 8 lug unimounts and a canadian spread.

Testors makes a "rubber" paint, kind of a brownish black, seems to decent job. makes um look like weathered rubber. Scott

Some Progress pic's of the vintage Fruehauf that i'm building to go with her. Box stock, only deviation was i painted the hubs to match the tractor. Scott

Some progress pic's of the C model Mack.

Thats funny, cause i just started working on it today, i got so wrapped up in project 53 and the vintage 359/fruehauf builds i just kinda put it on the back burner.(just to many i wanna build and no time) i'll have some pic's next weekend. i'm working on the frame and getting the cab and dump bed to line up and look right, then i'll build the suspension and drive line from there. i think its gonna be neat when its done. Thanks for looking, Scott

LOL. kitchen table?? i was gonna say theres no way your married... that stuff is nasty, i have ventalation in my shop in the basement and the wife still gripes about it.. waiting to see the progress. Scott

Nice!! i will be watching this build also... looking fwd to seeing it. Scott

Hmmm, ya got me on that one . i had to shorten the shocks to fit, they were to long to fit properly, i musta tweaked that one some how, i got couple lil things i wanna touch up anyways, so i just add that one to the list. Semi trailer mech. Thanks for the color tips, thats a BIG help. much appreciated.. Scott

The payload will be the original isue fruehauf box van, (T-507) and that poses a question for me. what color should it be? white, or silver like a traditional dry van. gimme you thoughts guys. Thanks, Scott

2 more pic's.

OK , she's done, i hope i did her justice.... comments are welcome, actualy requested.. Thanks for looking, Scott

Judgeing from the legnth and girth i'd say a quart, quart and a half at best...if ya can seal it up enough to hold liquid....lol. Scott

Lol, the ford and a western star wrecker had a hard time when i moved, their on the block for rebuilds soon, as for the pic's the nice ones are with my olympus E420, which i'm gonna use more often, the rest are Palm pre camera pic's, i wanna take some gud pic's of the 53 with that camera... hood and bumper are just sitting on thats why their crocked.. Scott

couple more progress pic's, she'll realy look good with a coat of future, then on to the trailer.

Very nice!! gatherin parts for one myself, going to use an intergal sleeper cab and put it on a stretched 377 chassis, to go along with my 53 GMC... very nice paintwork... Scott

PM me, i can help ya out.. Scott

I'll get more, i have to transfer um to photobucket to get um on here, i have pic's of his, the sister truck to his a pete w a jerr dan, my older pete w a 3035 nomar, my white w a 750 holmes and an NRC wheel lift, we also have a restored 65 narrownose pete, a 78 big hood, 3408 and a 5 and a 4 365" wheelbase. the 352 is a neat lil truck, 360k on it, very nice for being a farm truck, picked it up in s jersey. i'll put a lotta picks of it on as we do a mini resto on it. i'll also find pic's of the resto of the 44, she was a BASKETCASE!!!

Here's some pic's of our 1944 pete, 345 former logging truck. a 79 352 w a 6v92TA 10 spd w spring suspension. ( i just bought it sat the 26th) thanks my brothers International wrecker w /a 50 ton jerr dan gettin her back for us. More to come, later, Scott

2 of um on E bag, right now, same seller, buy it nows of $160.00 Scott

Couple progress pic's, cab and sleeper mocked up.

I did the axles, and hubs in the lighter green, and i'm going to do the stemco hubs like suggested. i like the look. thanks, tge green i'm useing on the cab,sleeper, isnt exctly what i wanted, but i just couldnt find a color i was happy with, and i think this color is more period correct. not flashy, just a working truck color.i'll post more pic's later in the week, i head n out on the road tonite. (frozen food doesnt like to wait to be delivered..lol) Scott

Very nice! you do nice work i must say. Scott

Well, i primed and sealed most parts, painted engine 1 coat flat white, and shot cab and part of frame. cab is meadow green, frame hunter green, i think colors look OK. how bout some opinions. should look neat w black accents. box art shows rears and steering axle red.hmmm should i or shouldnt i? that is the question...lol Scott

I am humbled by your comments, Thank you Scott

Lol, yes i expected tim to chime in.. it is a very early T-500, w /the white sleeper, visor included in the kit. not a mail in, dad bought this in 69 , started it in 69 and its sit since.(i was 8 when puchased..lol) i would not even have touched it but he removed all the parts from the sprues, and assembled the frame and motor. i would assume it is devalued due to its partial assembly anyways. as i said the matching fruehauf is also there to be built. it is opened but untouched. i'm amazed at the amount of chrome parts in this one. Tim, engine would be huron green correct, trans color? i wanna build it pretty much box stock as close to the green one on the side art... i will gladly take any tips, suggestions on how to do it justice,(mostly interior) please feel free to point me in the right dirrection..i'm kinda glad its a builder, i'd hate to just sell it off and not enjoy such a nice kit.
