Thanks a lot guys!!!!!
I was away working for a few days but after arriving home at 11pm last night I was off first thing this morning to the post office to pick up my tires from RC4WD(right ones this time) and then into town to buy some more paint and some goodies from the hobby shop! I spent the afternoon installing some lights and buttoned up the wiring. Lots left to do but I have a few days off so expect some updates again!
I would like to do a sound unit down the road but the challenge is finding a sound clip of one of these trucks with a 12V71 Detroit and an Allison Automatic. As far as the smoke generator is concerned I have given that some thought too and have room under the hood but a well tuned, fresh D.D. never smokes much. It may be a little unrealistic but would be cool none the less.
The Show is put on by the Antique Truck and Historical Society, Vancouver Island Chapter. It is in Duncan BC on July 13-14. Trucker_Jo, I would love to see you there!

Joe, I will be offended if I'm around and you don't stop by...
It would be great to meet another weirdo like myself...
I couldn't resist doing a little "testing".....no loads yet though...
