Alaskan Hauler refurbishing project

[Jürgen M.]

Thanks guys! I know the tires are a bit rough looking but I thought it would fit this truck pretty well! 

A bit more progress: (almost through with this)

I'm dedicating this to the late Bill Fries, also known as C.W. MC Call, the creator of "Convoy" and a lot of unforgotton songs like "Wolf Creek Pass" and "The Old Home Filler Up and Keep on a Truckin' Café "!

Got the headache rack mounted and  the chains back on!

...also mirrors, marker lights, horns and air lines!

The mud flaps are printed. I took them from my "Big Nasty" project and added the KW badges.

And some more progress:

The hood fits! Plates are on the bumper (Iowa and Alaska).

The second air intake is installed:

Almost finished! 👍

[Jürgen M.]

I guess it's ready for "Under Glass"!

I made a tool box (underneath sleeper) and painted the "KW" letters on the mud flaps white!

Gave it a new antenna and turning signals on the fender sides instead of on top!

Thanks for watching and your kind remarks!

Hope you like the results!

looks great Jurgen!

[David G.]

Wow, you're making rapid progress on this one Jürgen!

I think the tires look fine. If you plan on doing some weathering, a little added dirt and grit can cover up any irregularities.

Nice idea for the tribute. I have some fond memories of those songs from my childhood.

Thanks David,

I might do some weathering, dust or mud or something!

Glad you like the tribute! I always loved his music and thought it's about time to worship his life achievement!

[Gary Chastain]

Well done sir, another great build

[Jürgen M.]

Thank you Gary! Glad you like it!

Although I wasn't too sure about taking it apart in the first place I had a pretty good idea of what it should look like!

I think it came out just that way!
