Vladislav

The cavit looks formed perfect.

Thank you very much!

Looks like they have them just for free

Will try.

By the word $400 for a set of six isn't extremely reasonable.

About a fair (market) price on my mind.

Don't forget you'd need alloys to polish, it's really lot of work.

There are Chinish production tube typers avalible in Russia both 24's and 20's.

They look of a good quality and they are radials. Shure you're also able do get 'em.

Thanks again for sharing so many nice pics!

Pretty neat bunch of pics this time!

Looks like you had busy and colorful week

Nice looking trucks

Looks perfect from the outside and the inside.

And I like that Cruiseliner grill design much more than the angled one.

Seems like it was a great show!

Thank you for sharing.

Don't you have a couple of carriers off the green rear axle(s)?

If yes look for the ratio (stamped at the front side).

Mike were those lights KD 516. Mike and I went to the truck show in Wilmington, Ohio today. there was a guy selling new lights, he had a set 4 long 1 short. Mike bought a new set of KD 516 for $68 and some change tax included. if anyone is interested I will post the phone#

I'm in interest, let us know the phone#.

The only reason to doubt - there's a picture on Watts webside shows the lights are original and completely reproduces the stuff on my roof.

I plan to refresh mines but want to be shure they'll look absolutely correct, not "close to be similar".

Have found just a body of the long kind on "Bigrigchromeshop" commented "copies OEM" for $66 apiece though.

I like the horse's name.

Have a ball with it!

Seems like it would be an interesting truck.

Don't forget to post some pics when you be up close.

By the word, how does your LJ?

Haven't you done much about it?

I see no trouble getting tube type radials keeping the wheels.

And I don't think 354cu. in. gasser is not powerful enough.

As about high road speed you may play with rear axle ratio.

I'm shure you can find some one of a faster kind but of the same body.

Glad to see fresh addition to the goat collection.

Blue DM transformed into blue R-model looks like a real magic.

By the word, couldn't you give me the contact info of that electric company wich provided the light bulb service?

All the other stuff is also nice to see.

It depends on what miles you plan to do.

Because you'll need to spend some bunch of $$ for any conversion.

Jusy count miles with extra gas cost you need if you keep it stock.

As about me I have an interest to stock or 98% stock trucks only.

Because they have real historical value. I don't mean relation of a value to a price.

There are not so many original vehicles in existance and i feel much sorry when anybody starts to convert stock unit into a custom creature.

By the word in Germany you may register as a classic an only vehicle wich has most components (engine, body parts, suspension) as out of a factory.

Of course to each their own and anybody may do about his stuff anything he want to.

Just my pair of cents.

Cool!

You don't should stop!

The 20's and the 30's are the next way to go!

Thank you for sharing.

Many trucks look like nice restored.

You're lucky indeed having 14 C in the winter daytime.

I use to have -14

Just surprized to see the pic with the dry pavement.

The blue RW you posted in the other thread - where in Australia/New Zealand you can get those ribbed rear fenders?

Are they of stainless steel?

Any link to the supplier or seller?

Doug, thank you for paying attention.

I didn't want to initialaze international trouble-shooting congress although my questioning up might help in the future.

Vlad.

Looks cool!

By the word - do you have now winter or summer time?

Anything might be worthless to somebody and made of gold to another.

Interesting pics Tom, thank you for one more over-the-country excursion.

Pete is cool down the road and RW's are awesome.

I like Mercedes and the mechanic.

Don't loose control over the mill blade position !

I also think it's not a great trouble to get original EH rear axle with hubs and wheels and front bumper.

There are many firetrucks wich have the same parts when they're parted out.

So here's more a sheet metal work. There's a lot of but it's common and usual.

Although personally to me too important point is original chassis number.

It makes histirical basis to the subject.

Having it not means you work on just an old piece of unidentified metal.

Just my point of view for shure

Thanks alot Paul, PM sent.

Happy Birthday!

Hope you have a great one.

You made a good job.

Too interesting to see it more close.

What about the engine and tranny?

Are they original?

I haven't waited anything better than you tell about and it looks not bad in relation to what I'm working over.
