Bill Signs trucking truck...not excactly...

[glorydays24]

Thanx so much Nathan...WOW!!! octagon stack's, now that would definitely be different. And a different style of tool boxes between the axle's. Boy I have a lot of planning to do...time to get out the notebook and write some thing's down. And I really needed the pic of rear of the frame, great shot.
And last but not least, a texas bumper???
Interesting, look's like I have my work cut out for me...decision's, decision's

Thanx buddy, Big John

The sleepers were removed, and an aftermarket wall, with window, was added. Another really neat detail you could include on your build are the tanks, behind the cab. My guess would be that they are some type of aux. air tanks. I just noticed the brown Pete also has octagon breathers! And maybe it's not Canadian after all. It's got an American flag in the window!

ihbuilder, I know, I know...but there is a saying..."good things come to those who wait"
Be patient my friend

Espeefan, I had this model a long time ago, and I alway's thought it was an American truck, and there's another idea...American flag in the rear window.
I didn't notice the breather's either, so many option's...which way will I go...
As far as the air tank's, i'm putting everything on like the real truck, just with some twist and turn's that I possibly can. It won't be 100%, but it should be close.

Well I did some tinkering tonight. I thought I would attempt to see what I could do on the rear of the frame as far as the curved part.
I just did one side. And I have a set of stock king rails thanx to S&P, thanx buddy.
Now this is just a first run to get a feel for what's ahead.







Let me know what you think, and thanx for looking
