Thanks! The GRU is an Integy unit. It was recommended by Travis(fhhhstix) I picked up mine from Ebay. I'm still working on making everything fit, but it should work out. I may not be able to use the vibrator but well see!

Ahh, that's more like it! When you tease posted the cab on the chassis, minus the hood and dump box, I was a bit disappointed! Glad to see you gave in and had to try the whole combo together. That's nice! Now hurry and finish it up! It's so close.

I think when Nathan seen the cab and chassis He thought you were going to go with a heavy haul Pete tractor for a minute and give him a run for his money, LOL!

Looks great Brian!

Now that you mention it, I'd love to see Brian build another just like that. In yellow, though. What do you say, Brian?

It really is a miniaturised replica of the 1:1 in your pic there. Beautiful paint finish, The metal hardware looks so good, there are a lot of people coveting that grill I think.
Like I said earlier, build of the month? No, build of the year!

Hey Brian, i would like to know how you got your hood to fit perfectly flat when closed? As you know i cut mine as a 359 and i still have trouble at the cab and hood for it to lay flush? I have tried readjusting and still can't get it to lay right? So what's your magic touch?

Oh and everything i have seen and all the new post's too, this is really a very nice and sweet looking ride:D:D can't wait to see more:D:D

Mike
