Ford LN8000

[broch]

Hi guys! Haven't had tme to do much the last weeks. School are takeing to much of the time, and have had other things to do also (not better things )

Just want to show another prosject that I have been working on for some time. It's a Ford LN 8000 Shorthauler. Almost done, just have to put on another layer with paint after some problems with the last paint job. Got some holes in the paint, not very nice. Are going to put a single pipe on the right side of it also. Enjoy!

Here the truck are put together to see how it will look like. The fuel tanks have been paintet flat black, think it looks bether than chrome. Have thought about stripping the rims and bumper also, but not sure about it.

Looks good with the chrome grill and rims. If you go with painted rims I'd find some 2 hole Budds. Craig

Thanks Craig! Like the L8000 dumper you have build. Looks very clean and nice. How have you got the emblem on the side of the hood? Would like to have this on mine too Have you printed or painted them yourself?

Looks very good but I think the fifth wheel needs to be stripped of chrome and painted a different color. Just my $.02.

Looks nice. I agree, the 5th wheel needs to be stripped of the chrome.

I coudn't agree more with you guys! So that's why it was stripped a couple a weeks ago. It's just the picture that's to old Haven't paintet it yet, but going to do it as soon as posible.

I didn't paint the L8000, but I did paint the FORD lettering. I believe there is someone that's producing the lettering as a decal, but I can't recall who.

The person who made the Ford logo decals was Dan Poulin from DMTW. He & I worked together to make them. The "FORD" for the front of the hood is a little small, but they look pretty good.

He sent me several sets before he closed down. Unfortunately, he still has the master file.
