Stub nose Orange Crate
 
Working on my stub nose, I call it the Orange Crate. Still working on exhaust. And a few other minor things.

As Aaron said, that is definitely a different style thank I've ever seen but I really like the creativity. It fits the lines well and looks like it could be operational.

Cant wait to see some more pics with all the accessories added to it.

Thanks Aaron, I was going for a 50's style truck that's been restored and customized a little bit.

Thanks Tyler, I should have it drivable by the weekend and all the parts on it. I'm not going to run a MFU in it I don't think but we'll see.

Very unique and it works :D. I like it. Great idea. I assume the stacks are going behind the sleeper? It has an old truck look to it, maybe only one stack and a air cleaner pipe combo?

That is one sweet bull nose.....it almost looks like a bullnose kw. I like it, its has a very old school look.

Thanks Mario, I was toying with a few different stack options and I thinking I'm going with one on the back and one air filter, thanks for your input.

Stack mounted along with the air breather, just need mirrors, fifth wheel, shaft and electronics.

Looks good with the single stack. Have you considered a pipe and maybe snorkel for the air cleaner?
