362 Pete ... Slammed
 

Heres a body that I have been working on (amongst many others :rolleyes:)...I Liked the look of the square headlights and figured I would give it a shot...The cab is whats leftover from my red K100 KW...Alot of sanding and priming into this body.. Still needs some filling tweeking though.Still have to figure out a way to get the lights mounted, thats why they are not straight at the moment...:rolleyes:

Let me know what you guys think

what else do you have in mind for it?

Re: 362 Pete ... Slammed
 

Cool day cab. The headlights seem to be a tad too square.. otherwise it looks great. Well done!

Cheers

Re: 362 Pete ... Slammed..
 

Thanks For The input fellas.. Been working on it some more and finally decided to go with some 21" frame rails

I think the headlights are just right but will see if I can round them off a bit...As for the blinkers, I am planning on using some plastic orange strips that will go underneath the headlights for the turn signals...Still have to decide on the pipe length and some other misc parts...thats about it for now

Hey, that's looking pretty good, Alfy. The frame rails look like an ideal length, to me. The cab is looking great as well, but if it was mine, I think I'd go with a front bumper that was more squared off in the corners.

nice truck , always liked the slim line cabs. what color will it be ?

Re: 362 Pete ... Slammed
 

Alfy, I agree with Paul, on that truck they removed the center windshield post and put in a one piece windshield with three wipers. They only did this for 1983 then they went back to the center post... I think it would look cool to do a '83 model.

Stack height.

Years ago when I worked for White Trucks in Cleveland the max stack height was 13'-6" when they rolled out the factory door. After they reached the customer who knows what they did to them.

Re: 362 Pete ... Slammed
 

Wow I like this one.

Re: 362 Pete ... Slammed
 

I like the front bumper and rear fenders. Just the right shape on both.
Nice job. Joe
