41CHEVY Posted May 3, 2019 Since the minor snag on my Terrapro and finishing two Chevies (in the Show Room) I figured I'd start this as I've been tossing parts for it in the box for a few years. Power is a naturally aspired Cummins with a 10 speed. It intrudes into the cab a bit. Rear suspension is from some AMT unknown truck kit. Wheels and tires will be a mix from the Autocar dump truck with fronts a back dated set of Alcos. There will be a Mercury sleeper added but through cab access is undecided as of now. Cummins is just set in location with the mounts made up. The new dog house is fabbed up with just a bit of filling on one seam needed and the dash has an 1/8" cut off between the steering column and the end of gauge panel. Chassis was shortened 2 full inches and I made the steer axle turn-able.

41CHEVY Posted May 16, 2019 ot a bit more done. Cab and sleeper are mounted and the hood is assembled with a homemade set of hinges. Works fairly well. I think I'm going to slide the hood off and put in a set of basic inner fender wells just to close the big hole up. Should be easy as they appear to be just a flat piece.
