Compressor and primary and secondary fuel filters ... That is all for now, thanks for looking in. Randy

Mock up with tank... Starting the motor. A 3d printed kit designed and printed by Claudio de Bellis. It is beautifully detailed and even includes decals for all the labels and service tags. You do have to be prepared for alot of this..... but it is not too bad:) lots of this...

I am going to be doing a heavy duty single axle 4 x 4 with a 2500(???) gallon tank. Started to gather goodies for this. KFS for the driven front axle , assorted valves and the floater tires and rims. CTM for rear axle, hubs and assorted goodies. Engine will come from the new release GPModels Detroit Diesel series 60 12.7 I will solder up a frame. The tank will be a chopped up water bottle. more to follow.. the engine will wind up somewhere between these two....

Hi Folks, First time in this section of the forum. This project is to build a floater truck. These rigs are everywhere in the fields out here in the great plains during the growing season. The "floater" name comes from the huge tires used. The idea being that the tires help distribute the weight of the truck when out in fields that have just been cultivated to loosen up the soil. They can be "wet" or "dry" applicators'....... couple dry trucks ... I am going to doing a wet truck. These are used to dispense seed, fertilizer and pesticides. Now these come in all shapes an sizes. Small tank trucks , 500 gallon to 1500 gallon, are typically short wheelbase medium duty rigs..... When the fields start to be measured in sections instead of acres the big boys come out to play.... more post to follow...

Hi Ken, You are doing an outstanding job on this kit !!!!! As to the pedals on P1046, all of the GT40's used the same pedal box arrangement. The seats could not be moved so they made the whole pedal box adjustable. Randy

Hi Bill, With all the 3D printed bodies you have done, have you experienced any warpage? Thanks, Randy

Hello Claudio, Thank you for posting that info. I was on your Facebook page earlier and saw your finished motor in the Peterbuilt frame, it looked stunning!!!! You should post those here? Randy

Hello Victor, I do not have any info on the transmission. I agree that it looks like an Eaton. Did find this on a Google search that kinda looks like the bell housing.... Love your build you have going on in the big rig section!!!! Randy

The body work looks just fantastic my friend!!! But I can't wait to see the chassis that you come up with to hold that magnificent motor. Randy

Well just spectacular Francis!!!!! Your builds are always one of my favorite stops on this Forum. Always learn something. Randy
