Hope this help's. Cheer's, Neil.

Neil, very cool pics. Thanks for the links, I especially like the yellow Pete. Here is a few pics of what I was going after. Kind of a cross between a old Mack H model that somebody has restored and made into a clean parade truck.

Thanks for your links.

That's a keeper! I've always enjoyed seeing builds of lesser known trucks. This definitely fits the list, and you did a great job.

Did you notice the checker plate and indicators on the top of the fenders on the MACK?

Thanks Oztruck, yes I did. I have the turn signals, just waiting on the diamond plate.

I must say you did a fantastic job on this truck. I like things that are different, and this is no exception. And I think orange was the perfect color choice. GREAT JOB!!!

Thanks Big John, hopefully I will be driving it this weekend.

Ok, so I did a little more on it tonight. I should have paid a little more attention to the wheel base because a stock King Hauler drive shaft was 3/8" to short, so instead of a custom shaft I lengthened the front shaft carrier.

Then I finished the dash and installed it along with the seat pan and seats.

Then I made a fifth shell release lever.

Then I got my diamond plate for the fender tops, cut to fit but not installed until there painted. I'm thinking either silver or orange to match the truck, not sure yet.

Installed the mirrors and side glass.

I dig this thing! Looks real cool and original thinking outside the box.
