[@markwentland3147]

Looking forward to learning what's involved to do this !! Thx

[@detroitgarage9430]

Should be a good one.:)

[@prevost8686]

Definitely won’t be many like it rolling down the road!

[@detroitgarage9430]

That's for sure, a rare sighting.:)

[@rodirvin627]

Yee haa 🎉

[@JillianLatorreTS]

I see a Ford Freestar in the lot, is that yours? Also, I cannot wait to see how this project turns out! Should totally use the 6v71 for the Peterbilt, since you are not using it on this project.

[@detroitgarage9430]

Yes, that's the plan for the 6V71/Peterbilt.:) The Freestar is my neighbors.:)

[@ardtessa]

Cracking stuff ! And is that a YL there in the background ?
Might have asked before (long ago) but can't remember.
Cheers, Ard

Build year, I've been told back in the 40's and 50's the dealer would put the year sold on the title making this the year it was built. This is like why is there a keyed door lock on the passenger door and not the drivers door back when they started locking doors. Yes I know why.

[@detroitgarage9430]

Thanks, good to know.:)

[@jordanremsen2295]

I assume you’re basing this build off of bucks diamond t flatbed?

[@detroitgarage9430]

Yes, at the moment that's the look. He did an awesome job on that build.:)

[@pulsenpal7882]

does Diamond -T have steering axle brakes?

[@detroitgarage9430]

Yes, brakes on all 4 drums.:) Using the Ford F550 chassis with modern steering and brakes.:)
