The Peerless trailer kit includes a tray to be placed on the truck frame. But I made a simple wooden stepboard instead. Since I had no real wood at home I painted a piece of plastic sheet to imitate the wooden look. The catwalk on top of headache rack is also a wood-like plastic.

The headlight buckets and brackets are kit parts. The lenses are CTM set for Volvo F10. The rims are made of sliced Evergreen tube.

The air filter and exhaust pipe are finally glued to the engine and fender. The bracket is not yet in the picture as the color was still wet when I was taking the photos.

I added chain hangers to the side of the frame. The silver jewelery chain is being painted.

A single air horn is above the driver“s door. I will attach the door as the last item. Sorry, the horn is out of focus.

Not much to be done on the truck, a little bit more work on the trailer though.

I hate to say it, but the crash gave us all another view of your excellent detail work ! You turned what could have been a disaster into just another phase in the the life of a truck.

Much as I like to see these old workhorses built as looked when they were new or lovingly restored, seeing one that's led a long life doing what it was built for is just as cool. Even if it is only 1/25 the size of the real thing. Nice work.
