Re: Old Skool 281

Small update. Been stocking up on parts this winter, havent had time to work on much. Now having more free time Ill be posting more. Got a set of Steves wheels for it and a box trailer. Painted the under carriage to match the truck. Gonna scratch build a reefer, get an icc bumper and put some mudflaps on. Gonna keep it simple. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...ps6da69ad1.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...psd26e6c63.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4d5cd357.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...pse210048d.jpg
