Scott Eriksen Posted January 22 Author Posted January 22 ..............so not much done the first part of the week with working a few hours each day and freezing my balls off and 2 Dr appointments for the wife and me thrown in ,,,,but today,,,today the cab became one with the chassis The bed and boom are just sitting there not nailed yet. I got these Auslowe Mack tanks that look pretty close size wise ,,,that will be next and work out the stack on the pass side ......and I'll pull the hood pins and pull that off and do the wiring/air lines and figure out an under hood air cleaner 5

BK9300 Posted January 24 Posted January 24 I agree - looks great to have the cab set in and lots of your plumbing finished - each time I look it seems like you've added more plumbing along the frame, too. When do you hope to have the truck on its wheels and tires? 1

Scott, your engine detailing is getting very intricate - complicated as looking under the hood of the real thing! Good to see the truck up its rubber, too. 2
