I've been working on this for a while on and off.
The r/c track i race at here in the Buffalo area has an off road r/c track in one garage and a semi collision/ paint shop in the other. I saw this truck there one night.

I really liked something about it so I decided to build a replica.
I think its looking ok but I really need some critiques guys.

Looking pretty nice so far! I think the whole front end should be remade with straighter lines and then some new aluminum details would make it look sweet.:D

Agreed!!!looks good so far but once the back is closed up and the roof is smoothed out and start to add a few custom accessories then it will start to take shape..have fun with it, i am sure you might have a wild cool idea rolling around in your head,well take this opportunity to make this truck unique to you with the same idea as the real one shown or do a straight replica...up to you, trust me we are watching this...lol;)

The last of the good looking freightliners...those were good freight trucks back then...

Was thinking a king cab and that hood might make it look closer but that's just me thinking out loud..I'm looking at the slant side windows and thinking what would be easy to get it like the older cab look....

Keep up the good work.

I guess I should have said Im loosely basing the truck on that picture. Im not sure i have the skills to start modding the bodies just yet.
But thanx for the comments everyone.
