Well got the chassis all built ..just had to move the front axle forward to look in line with the wheel well and dry fitted the cab and marked off where the pipes will be drilled to be installed ..i will be drilling the holes for the cab accessories and drill and tap the floor mount .BTW i named this truck "SledgeHammer" i think it fits it and my wife picked out the colours today for it and i figured out the paint scheme for it ..installed a set of Steve Ingraham aluminum 10 hole bud wheels and the bumper will have lights .here is the truck so far

i took 2 pics of this truck ..one with a short aluminum fuel tank that is factory stock for this truck back in the day and i took a second pic with a longer tank ..i am thinking the longer tank .Barbara ,my wife thinks the shorter tank looks better because she says it shows more frame,what do you guys think?.the pipes will be tucked in like that and i will scratchbuild the air cleaner...stock or the snorkel type?

This is gonna be a great looking old school truck. Looks awesome strapped to that step deck too, very sweet step deck. I'm amazed at both the stuff that is available such as 3d printed cabs and realistic trailer kits and also just what people are building these days. When I started in this hobby just 6 years ago there were far less options. Good to see people are still building, even if people like me haven't been able to for a few years now.

here are the final updates on this build ..just a few more details to add then i consider this finished.shaped the cab visor so it looks more like the real thing ..my wife picked the colours for the truck and i decided on a scheme for it .also a friend of mine made me a spread axle cattle trailer body that i matched it with paint and added lots of details to it as well as the suspension and wheels.i scratchbuilt the stack bracket as well as the dual air cleaners and the aluminum catwalk.added the mfu and a headache rack i had purchased from a gent here on this forum some years ago..i never throw anything out or sell as i will find a use for it even if it is years from now...lol..anyway i will let the pics do the talking ,i appologize for this build taking a loooooong time ..work hours really get in the way sometimes.

with the 3d printed cab i had to make my own side windows and windshield .and i had to make my own floor mount and i had to relocate the front axle forward to go with the same lines of the cab

had to make my own fender mounts for the trailer suspension which is air ride
got a friend of mine local to me make me these awesome mirrors and brackets which in my opinion look more the time era rather than the tamiya ones

Man that came out nice! Love the combo and the colors. The orange on the trailer really ties it to the tractor.
