samdiego Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Just picked this up at the LHS. Frankly I was more taken with this than the Lone Star. I remember seeing it in an Auto World Catalog, maybe1970 or so but never got one.
scummy Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 G,day , at the moment i've been restoring an original boss from the 70's , i got it off evilbay and pulled it down and i'm up to where the photo's show .
samdiego Posted May 25, 2011 Author Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) I'm torn, Scummy. I am so entertaining the idea of a drop, chop and channel with a parts pack Allison V-12. But, I also want the truck I fell for in the AW catalog. Edited May 25, 2011 by samdiego
samdiego Posted August 31, 2011 Author Posted August 31, 2011 3in chop, about 8in of channel and 4in out of both ends of the suspension The Allison would have required so much cab setback that I would have had to tub the sleeper and I didn't want to do that. The lowering is more obvious with the tanks and such installed.
samdiego Posted October 6, 2011 Author Posted October 6, 2011 Ok, this is my theory. Around the end of the 60s, White saw the need to upgrade visually. The cheapest way was to tool a Fiberglass tilt front that would sort of mate with the sheetmetal of the dated cab. Now my plan is to ditch the hood all together. I'm trying to come up with a cycle fender and sideless hood affair with a tractor-ish grille. good luck to me. I'm still hoping for some of your Road Boss photos.
Truck parts Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 SAM, I LIKE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE. THAT IS GOING TO BE A COOL RIDE!!!!!!!!!!!
