If the truck needs a name besides hoarder special, how's. " silver bullet " sound?  |
It turned out pretty cool. Not sure about a cap for the air
cleaner. Artillery shell perhaps?

Haha. Not sure if those plastic spindles will hold up that kind of weight. Funny how raising the bumper makes the axle and the stance of the truck look so different.

Great truck! Wish it was mine |
I was going to ask a friend for a few spent 50 cal casings to use on the tanks and possibly the exhaust but I knew I wouldn't see him for a while and I'm impatient.lol That idea is what prompted me to use casings for the hubs and lights. I spoak to him on the phone the other night and he said he might have some so I may swap tanks in the future to keep the theme going. Come to think of it, i have a 4" shell casing that we drug up off the ocean floor a few years ago. It's stamped 1943 on the end and is brass but all patinaed and green. Would make an interesting load....
Your wish can come true for the right price you know.
