yes here is the flatbed you saw in the background i got it from a gent on this forum and i redid it over ice blue and got adam(sharkey) to do the used bed look on it for me and added the real reflective tape piece by piece

thanks plow jockey when i do a replica i like to do it as close as possible and i figured why not do a trailer with the mule so i watched the movie ...AGAIN and picked this trailer which really is the only one besides the sam hummer one in the begining when he first shows up at the red river shipping dock

hey guys i haven't abandoned the mule .started to scratchbuild the air cleaner for the mule using plastic round tube and a wheel rim from the a 1/25 scale snaptite truck model .it looks alittle rough right now but once its shaped and painted it will look much better also i am installing the roof lights and mfu in it

[1985 kenworth]

because there is no room on the chassis to put the mfu unit on that it would not look out of place i decided to install and build it directly in the floor of the truck also to hide it

[1985 kenworth]

still have to add the fuel tanks and the rear lights and flaps on the trailer and some weathering on the trailer also.its alot of work but i really enjoy building this truck/trailer replica...a big thanks to rick for doig the cab for me .i can't wait until its running and i am able to post a video of it...thanks for looking i am getting the builds done just a slow process as work takes alot out of me these days

[1985 kenworth]

will post more pics as i get this one done

[1985 kenworth]

finally finished the rear of the trailer for the mule with the scratchbuilt icc bumper and lynn's bezels,used the double red lenses as the trailer did not have the amber turn signals in the rear

[1985 kenworth]

even used a replica decal of the license plate ..courtesy of j-bot decals in london ontario for arizona from that time period

[1985 kenworth]

can't forget the rear view...will post a picture or 2 later in the week outside..glad this one is pretty much done

[JAMMER]

Kw I seen a pick of the real truck of this last week and talk about the body,paint and decals being spot on it is perfect and I am a sucker for a cab over Love It great work..

[1985 kenworth]

yea i see pictures of the truck this gent is restoring to look like the mule on flickr and btw my name is dwayne..thanks for the compliments the body and paint was done by probuilder and i got the decals made to 1/14 scale by a guy that lives 1 1/2 hrs from me ..they were pretty tricky to put on as especially the mule is quite large in size but i am building the rest of the truck and trailer
