Old Buckaroo Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Very nice, this one is cruising right along. Did you have any problems mounting the cab ?The color of the dash looks like the color of the only real one I have seen. I dont know what color you would of called it "butterscotch" maybe ?

DRIPTROIT 71 Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 This truck build off has been a great thing! We are getting to see some excellent projects coming together, and this is one of them. This has always been one of my favorite trucks, and you are doing an excellent job with this one. Great work!!!

Mopar - D Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 Nice update Jacobus. Looks like you have a great crew working for you too!!
BigBad Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) this week i put the newway-airride under the chassis that i make already 3.5cm shorter and i mock-up how it looks and now doing the engine and a little plumbing jacobus Hi Jacobus, nice start to your project! I like your rear suspension setup! I also have this kit, so I'm very interested in your build. I see you might mount the fuel tanks right in front of the rear wheels. The cutouts at the bottom rear of the cab are there for fuel filler neck clearance. You might want to fill these cut outs on the cab if you want to install the fuel tanks like you want them, unless you want to use 4 fuel tanks... Or just leave it the way it is. This is a picture of a CL9000 which has the fuel tanks in the stock locations, if you can blow up the picture you will see the fuel cap is aligned with the cutout in the cab skirt: Another pic: Edited February 14, 2016 by BigBad
jacobus Posted February 15, 2016 Author Posted February 15, 2016 thanks robert for the picture,shave several fueltanks and still don,t know wich one i wil used for the fordwil put it like your first pic but firdt take away the chrome off the tanks,and i use the newway airride from auslowe becouse all of italeri white,s and freightliner have the same suspension , i believe also the superliner and the ford have themhave already make the tanksupport and come on the place like the picture,sjacobus
