  1. Mobile home hauler was the first thing I thought of with the severely bobbed off frame!xD

    I did a day cab of this model back in the late 70's. Unfortunately my wife's brothers got into out stuff stored in their garage and trashed a lot of built kits.

    Hope they can see their way to repop this kit someday soon!


  2. There was a local furniture factory here that used those trucks as company trucks hauling lowboy furniture trailers.

    A local trucking firm had the long hood version of those powered by 671 Detroits.

    We had several cabs with frames and engines on the sod farm that the owner had bought for the Detroits for use on his irrigation pumps.

    Rebuilt 3 of them while I was a driver / mechanic there.


  3. First saw this build over at MCM  but could not comment on it because while they allowed me to join I still cannot post. (OldTrucker there too)

    I have only seen one of these in my life time and it was in a truck bone yard when I was a kid and there wasn't much left of it then.

    This is a great example of how todays trucks had started to evolve!

    Beautiful job!
