Interesting cab!

Surely there is some kind of lift on the rear. Looks like the frame is almost sitting on the ground.

Just a poor copy of KB's old deuce truck

Actually I kind of like it , probably mostly because of the colour. But that clean firewall looks kool!

I like the tractor front axle.

I like the firewall because it screams NO, I am not undecided whether my rod will ever wear a hood or not!

I am digging the front snow tires.

Rip VW welcome , you come highly recommended by IDJ ! I hear you are into a model T project ? So am I . Dont mean to derail this thread so on to comments about the green truck . It looks like some of the things I have had to do in the past as in the tires may have been selected because they held air . The truck has its charm , I do like the firewall, and the colour.

Hello Chimp Koose,

Thanks for the welcome. Yeah I know what ya mean about using what is available. The tires are probably what was usable at the time. Being in the Chezk republic I am fairly certain parts and such are probably pretty hard to get there. He accomplished a pretty big thing there with limited resources.

Yeah I am a T enthusiast although for how long time will only tell. I have learned a ton about how T's were constructed and about many inconsistencies they maintain! I am slowly working through a host of un expected problems in my Build. Just today I found the subframe of the body is not exact from left to right which changes body fitment on the chassis. All in all it keeps me out of trouble to some extent. So I just Endevour to Persevere!
Hey its a pleasure to meet you and look forward to discussing T's.
