SpreadAxle Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 (edited) I thought I would share my latest one with you. After cutting it down to a daycab, I added hydraulic lift cylinders, working steering, air brake lines, shortened the frame, and some minor weathering. Here is one of the last in progress shots with the Luberfiner lines added. Thanks for looking. Edited August 25, 2008 by FlatbedKW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABC Auto Industry Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 WOW! By the looks of this rig, you must've been lucky enough to score an Astro Turbine kit, or you took some parts from a Chevy Titan kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpreadAxle Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 WOW! By the looks of this rig, you must've been lucky enough to score an Astro Turbine kit, or you took some parts from a Chevy Titan kit. The mirrors came from an original issue Chevy Titan kit. They were dechromed, and Bare Metal Foil was used for the "glass" on the mirror. This kit was the most recent issue of the Astro. the color is DupliColor GM#302 Light Metallic Blue. It was the closest match to the pic on the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broch Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Nice looking truck you got there! Like the daycab versions of this truck. Looks really 70's! Keep up the good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Albion Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Ray, Great looking truck. I like the simplicity of it. It looks right, not to much chrome and fancy bits. Looks ready for a hard days work. The photo shots look good outside in the natural light it really sets the truck off. Best Wishes Dave Bates. PS: Are you still running the 379 Pete. Hope your having more luck with it than the Lemon!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary westervelt Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 really neat work. like it. just love those day cabs andy Unless you have to drive one We have one we use on the farm.It's rough riding,noisy,and no room what so ever But it gets the job done.Plus the ex Old Dominion Freightliners have spoiled us too. Great build.Looks as tho it's ready to tie onto a gravel trailer and go to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
