It's shaping up real nice.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
It's definitely not perfect, but I'm quite happy with how it's turning out.That is looking SO good.
Thanks!That's a great looking piece of history you have there!
Thanks Gimpy. I think we've got everything we need for marker lights, we've just got to sandblast the housings and put them together.I know I'm late to the party, but I have some metal marker lights and black out markers if needed. Let me know if you want pics.
This is the 12" door star?Yesterday we had a chance to do some more stenciling including the hood and door stars, and the circle for the bridge weight on the door. These paint mask stencils were made by our friend Rick Larsen who was also a big help in getting this truck home to VT. Thanks Rick!

We'll add the registration number to the sides of the hood soon.
Thanks. The door stars are 16".This is the 12" door star?
Looks incredible
Have you considered staining the boards, instead of painting them?It will be wood held down with metal strips, which is original for the pipeline trucks. We've got all the wood set to go, it just needs to be painted and a few boards need some cutting to fit the stake pockets and anchor points.
