I'm using the same ones. I like that they're easily stackable.

I finished this one last month, while I was off work. I used Moebius duals and steers from singles pack. Scratchbuilt the mudflaps and stack. I tried a little engine detailing, modified an Alaskan Hauler headache rack, and installed an MTB swan.

I'm actually looking at getting a truck for farm usage. When and if I do, I'll probably fix it up similarly.

That's a cool project.

Nice! I never knew this truck existed.

I like the modifications. I have an extra mail truck kit and you're giving me ideas lol.

That's pretty cool, I like it. I didn't realize how short this kit is until I see yours with 22.5s on it. I stretched mine and it still looks short.

Finished this one up yesterday. Well, almost, needs horns and a couple of other things. Stretched frame, scratch built headache rack, mtb swan dual stacks, and ford pickup cab lights. I actually managed to use the kit mirrors. I always have trouble with them and end up building new ones.

Some areas I'm just making it up as I go. Like the steering and shift tower parts.

The weather is too bad to paint the LTL 9000, so I decided to dig this Kenworth out. I bought it from Ollie's a few years back. Between the vague directions and me messing up the paint, I put it away shortly after and used it to rob parts. Now that I've built up my spares box a little, I think I can finish it. I sanded down the cab and primed it, then I shortened the frame and converted it to single axle. The 370 Cummins is almost all there and mostly built. I have a spare Ford mail truck which will give up its 27ft trailer for this one.

Calling it done until I figure out what it's going to haul. I meant to build it out of the box except for the Moebius singles, but things happened lol Scratch built the mud flaps, the mudflap girls, and the rear bumper light bar. Combined both kit supplied stack tips into one taller unit. Lost a cab light somewhere, so I robbed a set out of a damaged K123 kit. Swan ornament purchased here (awesome quality on those! Love em) Rebuilt the mirror hangers with .040 styrene rod.

Cab assembly today. Made new mirror hangers from .040 rod.

I made a little time today to work on this truck. I cheated a little bit. Instead of black cherry I used Testors metal flake red over black primer. Not as dark as I'd wanted, but looks pretty good.

With my farm chores backing up on me, I didn't have much bench time this weekend. I did manage to make new mudflaps (thanks for stealing one kitty cat) The hangers are a little on thick side, but they'll do the job.
