Very cool project..

Hi,I think your frame is too short,the trailer will be too much close to the cab,then I find that you will not have to put spring back of years 70.You should change nose gear weels ,they are not time.These observations are constructivent.

after lookin at a lot of picturers [ only black and white ] and from a distance you can see that the trailer very narrow to the cab is

also a short chassis

six spoke wheels whit a baby moon cover

the one i see in color was from akron [ red ] but also from a distance

if you got a picture from a autocar very close i wil see him

from that time is not much material in books ore good and clean picture,s

I want to hire that guy in white that works on your stuff! I got KW w900 with a leaking forward rear differential that needs needs to be worked on. SURELY that will get him dirty.

Great stuff. Enjoy your posts.

Nice work and Great truck to build up. I have a soft spot for these old trucks. Jesse is still way to clean !

[Old Nasty]

Nice looking tractor. I love these old trucks. They look like they were made to do the job.

[lapazleo]

Looks good the short wheelbase is actually typical back then as most trailers had round noses.

[Dodge BigHorn]

Love this. I think the orange with black looks excellent. Short frame is probably right for the era as the trailers of that time had round nose.

[jacobus]
