What are you using for an interior , assume you'll fabricate it. For starters I will look at some interior tubes I have in my junk box to see what’s close, if not I’ll glue something up, it’s a wider cab, so thinking that the tub from the international 5000 might be a good starting place. 1
Scott Eriksen Posted November 12 Posted November 12 Oh yeah,,the White Road Boss2 ! Lots of possibilities! 1
Gary Chastain Posted November 12 Author Posted November 12 Cab arrived a couple days ago and it is a really nice 3D print finish with minimal work to finish, the kit came with no glass or interior tub. The interior tub, I will fabricate similar to the Paystar 5000 with a floor pan, then the interior side panels. The Windshield, not sure, but I have some .010 clear evergreen sheet. The kit came with fuel tanks( one broken) and a front bumper. 2

They do have lines, but clean up pretty nice. Cleaning up the details can be close to impossible for me though. 2

I’ve thought about buying the long nose Chevy long bar grille single headlights. My Dad bought a new one in 1972 along with a new trailmobile flat bed trailer but it was a short nose version. 2
