The one you've got pics of was done by a friend that I trade parts with, Ernie Hastas. He helped me with the badging you see in my parts. Ernie Gave me info on what modifications to make, paint to use etc,. He's a good fella and always helps others. Ben Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Buckaroo Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Ben, wow that is some collection of parts. You definitely have put some time and thought into this project.

Bennyg Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 ben , is everything now sold out from auslowegreat project this onelol. I've always dreamed of building this truck since I was in grade 2 in 1988. Now I have the chance, I'm taking it. The parts weren't as expensive as organising a KW T904. Cheers.

Bennyg Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 Thinking about using aluminium for the chassis rails on this one. Not sure, will have to ask my brothers for advice on working wo aluminium. I want to cut the chassis at the front to make it like an R series. In Australia, we had an R series chassis in our Mack trucks until they changed to a straight rail in about 2000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
