Bronzekeg Posted September 28, 2021 Posted September 28, 2021 modified rolling chassis complete. this is my take on the movie truck. 359 chassis with parts from the k123 kit and lots of scratch building. fuel tanks were titan kit pieces, kw wheels and tires. working steering, scratch built intake and exhaust, mud flaps and battery box. cummins engine from k123 kit with scratch built details. small wire used for all air lines. striping has been ordered from model truckin so I can complete this build. lots of interior scratch building also. lots of pictures.
Fantom Posted September 28, 2021 Posted September 28, 2021 I’ll be watching this, I loved that movie when I was a kid. Don’t remember much of these days except the truck. Looking good!!!
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted September 29, 2021 Posted September 29, 2021 Looks like an excellent start! This will be good!
Mopar - D Posted September 29, 2021 Posted September 29, 2021 Excellent details on the engine and chassis Ken. Looking forward to seeing more progress.
Smoke Wagon Posted September 30, 2021 Posted September 30, 2021 Great work so far. I’d make sure to keep it away from any glass sculptures though...

Where did you get the cab? thank you Carl! a flickr buddy out west that has the contract hauling stage equipment portable dressing rooms etc. between hollywood and las vegas sent 2 complete cabs and rare truck kits in exchange for a built up blue mule model. so I don't actually know where he got them. somebody else built him movin' on and bj and the bear. the blue mule is what really wants though, for obvious reasons.

The Brush Posted October 3, 2021 Posted October 3, 2021 Nice work on the frame, Will look good when finished in the Blue Mule livery.
OldTrucker Posted October 4, 2021 Posted October 4, 2021 Looks great Ken! Wish I had the patience to build with that level of detail. I have the DVD too! Now I'm going to have to watch it again!LOL
