Brockway 758

[KJ790]

While waiting for paint to dry on the Cascadia, I decided to start on a Brockway 758. I got the cab conversion from AITM. I am using a Diamond Reo kit for the chassis and an engine from the Freightliner DD cabover kit. So far I have added a recess to the firewall to fit the cummins engine, shortened the frame, and used a piece of tubing to replicate a tag axle. I am using a metal steerable front axle from KFS.

Great choice Kurt ! The 358 is one of my favorites , have you chosen the paint yet

I just picked up the 361 ! Looks like we're bringing the Husky back to NY !!

Great start!

Nice progress so far.

Excellent work. Great use of the tag axle on the tandem. Very accurate and correct, and often overlooked detail. 

[Tesla]

Great model subject. I like what you've done so far!

[KJ790]

Added brake detail, most of the plumbing, and started working on the wheels.

Looks nice, Kurt. 

I need to add a Brockway to my connection none of these days.  Just seems like the right thing to do living in CNY.

Kurt nice work on the Brockway. Looking forward to see some paint on it.

Very nice!! I like the tag axle idea. I'm planning a little different tag set up on the Highbinder that I hope to build next year.

Is the driven axle in the front or back?

The front axle is the driven on.

I love these subjects you guys bring out.....These things look so cool.....I don't have anything like these old rigs in my collection, but I sure like the ones y'all bring to life....Very nice.....I'll be watching this one, for sure.....

[KJ790]

I managed to get a little color on the chassis this week.

Looks fantastic !  

Those spokes your designed fit perfectly on this truck too! very classy for a classic truck

[Mopar - D]

Kurt are you looking at opening up the hood? I know the resin is pretty thick on the hood but could be thinned. 

[KJ790]

Thanks guys! I am planning on leaving this one as a curbside. It will have an engine, but the hood won't open.

[kilrathy10]

Yeah, that is a great color for a frame.....Very nice....Can't wait to see what color you use on the cab.....

And this "curbside" has more plumbing than anything I've ever built......  LOL !!!!  I'm lovin' it......

Wonderful KJ! Can't wait to see the cab on the frame.

[KJ790]

Finished up the wheels and tires and added a little weathering.
