Stub nose Orange Crate
 

Working on my stub nose, I call it the Orange Crate. Still working on exhaust. And a few other minor things.

Now that is deffinitly different but kinda cool!! I like the use of the cabs to make this! And of course i like the color too. :)

Re: Stub nose Orange Crate
 

As Aaron said, that is definitely a different style thank I've ever seen but I really like the creativity. It fits the lines well and looks like it could be operational.

Cant wait to see some more pics with all the accessories added to it.

Thanks Aaron, I was going for a 50's style truck that's been restored and customized a little bit.

Re: Stub nose Orange Crate
 

Thanks Tyler, I should have it drivable by the weekend and all the parts on it. I'm not going to run a MFU in it I don't think but we'll see.

Re: Stub nose Orange Crate
 

Very unique and it works :D. I like it. Great idea. I assume the stacks are going behind the sleeper? It has an old truck look to it, maybe only one stack and a air cleaner pipe combo?

Re: Stub nose Orange Crate
 

That is one sweet bull nose.....it almost looks like a bullnose kw. I like it, its has a very old school look.

Re: Stub nose Orange Crate
 

That is great Idea!!The body lines work,the grill matches up nicely.Now that's thinking outside the box!!! Good job on the bull nose!!!

Re: Stub nose Orange Crate
 

That's Awesome.... I love it...

Thanks
Cody

Re: Stub nose Orange Crate
 

Thanks Mario, I was toying with a few different stack options and I thinking I'm going with one on the back and one air filter, thanks for your input.

Re: Stub nose Orange Crate
 

Thanks Bricknick, appreciate it.

Re: Stub nose Orange Crate
 

Thanks Fred, still trying to work out the tilt nose on it as well.

Thanks Cody, appreciate it.

Stack mounted along with the air breather, just need mirrors, fifth wheel, shaft and electronics.

Re: Stub nose Orange Crate
 

great looking build.. something about this truck I really like good work

Re: Stub nose Orange Crate
 

Looks good with the single stack. Have you considered a pipe and maybe snorkel for the air cleaner?

Re: Stub nose Orange Crate
 

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.

Re: Stub nose Orange Crate
 

love that truck above!!!

Re: Stub nose Orange Crate
 

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.

Re: Stub nose Orange Crate
 

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

Re: Stub nose Orange Crate
 

Thanks for the comment Ken.

Re: Stub nose Orange Crate
 

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

Re: Stub nose Orange Crate
 

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

Re: Stub nose Orange Crate
 

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 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.
