Pete68 Posted June 28, 2022 Posted June 28, 2022 I bought this truck back in 1986 at my local Hobby Shop. The Box in the background is for a reference. I painted it as a Dohrn Transfer Truck and a couple years ago I dug it out of storage and painted the cab a Camouflage Tan. This weekend I decided to start rebuilding this truck from my teenage years. This is what I have so far. I rebuilt the frame and put the engine back together and painted both. 3
Pete68 Posted June 28, 2022 Author Posted June 28, 2022 Installed the Engine and put a Gloss Coat on the cab. 1

Pete68 Posted January 29, 2023 Author Posted January 29, 2023 Worked on this one a little tonight. Added the interior and some cab details unfortunately some I’ve lost over the years an have to replace. I also added the stack and air cleaner. I don’t like the way the one looks going from the air breather to the blower so I’m going to remove it and fix it up a little. 1

Pete68 Posted January 30, 2023 Author Posted January 30, 2023 Sanded the tires and mounted the cab to the frame and added back the air intake. Need some more little things and calling it done 1
Pete68 Posted 6 hours ago Author Posted 6 hours ago (edited) I put this back on the bench earlier this week and mostly stared at it a couple times to tired to work on it but this morning I was up early and got a little done and there’s more work I want to do before I call it done. I added the Cab lights, Air horns, Cab Steps, and painted the rims. I need to find a headlight lens and finish plumbing it as well as some touch up painting and details.

Biggu Posted 5 hours ago Posted 5 hours ago I agree with Gary, came out really nice. I need to get the Detroit green paint into my paint ‘stock’. I like this build. I might need to get one of these. 😉 1
