well its finally all done, i know i still have alot of things to improve on so please dont be bashfull about reminding me of things ive missed. thanks now i just need to find a trailer for it, maybe a flatbed or an end dump.

i got the drop visor biult and on also put the antenna's on. had a lil oopsy and got a couple small dings in the metalizer but it will have to wait for repairs, its time to get this one off the bench and move on. when we get some sunny weather i will post outside pics. thanks for all the help along the way with this biuld dennis

looks like the ford designed caterpiller 3208. the only differance i think was the valve covers were ford in most of the ford trucks they were in. hope this helps dennis

it works just fine, thank you very much ben

lol"driver i know your right" lmao!! matt the only reason i dont have lights on the bumper is because i dont have the right size drill bit to countersink em, the next one will be lit up like a christmas tree

that is something else, wow!!! dennis

thanks jim, i did not use my air brudh yet lol. but i did use laquer rattle can on it. this kit has all spring suspension on it, also check your hood/cab fit before you paint the frame and mount the front axle, it sits too far back the tires almost hit th eback of the fender so i will be shortening the springs on the next one. besides that this is a really nice kit to biuld and im sure i will biuld a few more of these old binders.

thank you sergey, as dave mentioned it had to be that low so the hood would open. however after staring at it i think next time i put one on i will notch the bumper right under the grill so i will be able to raise it up and shouldent be such a gap.i can see myself biulding a few more of these, it is a nice kit to work with. dennis

heres an update, ive gotten a lil more work done lol, please let me know what ya think and i need some critisizm please to help me remember the things ive forgotin. thanks im still making the drop visor and work lights for it, ill post some outside pics asap
