finally going to get started on this.im going to leave this pretty much box stock.just a few minor changes and details.

[toplessfury]

I like the trash can stacks ! but I think rounded fenders would look better...IMO

[Kostas Parchas]

Looks very good so far!!

I have to agree, rounded feeders would look much better.

i was going to go with round fenders but im going to have squared off fenders on the tanker so i want them to match,plus the nice round fenders run around $18 and i'd need 2 sets.

Why not try to scatchbuild ? take some of that sheetmetal and round it around a paint jar or something ??

Jaust a thought

[toplessfury]

i tried that but couldnt get it right so im making square.

[toplessfury]

ok yall ive hard at this thing.i wasnt pleased about the box original interior(sleeper).so i cut it up .hope yall like it.

this is looking great i think.cant wait to get it done cause the tanker is going to get a special treatment also.

[Jim B]

Looks good. I like the mods. I wish I was brave enough to try something like that.

[MRCIVICWITHSTYLE]

Wow i like the sleeper part i was going to do something the next truck i do im just doing this one box stock

[toplessfury]

thanks jason.here is my interior nearly done.im waiting for the steering column and shifter to dry.

i think this is the best looking dash ive done

[MRCIVICWITHSTYLE]

wow thats a nice looken inside there i got to paint some more stuff on mine yet but shes getting there as fast as i can lol elbow want let me do but so much lol but yours is looken GREAT

[highway]

Nice job, Jamie. I like the sleeper, that's a nice modern day touch to that old rig!

[Jim B]

Looks pretty good. The denim is an interesting touch. What "tan" is that? I'm always on the look out for a nice interior tan color.

So you know for the future, for the brake valves on the dash, the octogon (on the left) should be red, the diamond (in the middle) should be yellow, and the circle (on the right) should be blue. This is an industry standard. I think the blue valve was "removed" in the mid 1980s, though.
