Guy's

I know its not a Brockway...but still an old vintage truck. Recently fresh off the bench...the truck was built to represent a just delivered unit to the dealership. 1979-1980 era...OEM GM paint, Tangier orange for the frame, Silver poly metallic (hood/cab) Detroit 8v92 silver diesel engine...interior is fully detailed...have a few small things to finish...but here "she" is...scale is 1/25th...working on this over the winter.

Outstanding!! My first thought when I scrolled to the pic of the instrument panel was "What's a TV Remote doing here?" Nice truck and great work!!

Turbo------You may be aware that on the ATHS discussion forum there's a guy named Robert Manley of Florida that posts as "Crackerbox Bob" . He has a growing fleet of the real Generals and Bisons, including a rare one I found for him in Mansfield,Ohio that had a 60" sleeper and a 60 series Detroit under the hood .

I like it. What did you use for a hose going to the top of the blower?
