How about cab roof over hood height? I need an anchor reference to make it somewhat accurate.

 

[ROCKWELL-C60]

I'll measure it tonight

This with 4 doors. View attachment 607433

You will see this real soon but no 4 doors.

 

[ROCKWELL-C60]

27" top of roof to top of hood.

Alright I finished the air bag mounts and cab bushings. and reinforced rear cab mounts

That's nice looking work.

Where did you pick up the air bags?

 

[tim292stro]

Looks decent

I haven't forgotten about the drawing, I did it in Photoshop and it didn't come out as well as I'd like, so I'm redoing it in SketchUp. It'll be a real 3D model that way that you can look at.

Gunzy,

Where do you live in Roy? I lived there in the early 70's. Graduated from Roy High, class of 72. My famaily lived there 25-30 years. Guy Wiltfang is my name.

Sounds great and I'll continue on my full scale model. here's something to ponder

I can "dig" it.

I don't know that software:

- So it allows 3-D modeling using views by elevation? (speaking architecturally, not altitudinally; I might have just invented a new word there....)

 

[tim292stro]

3D CAD freeware from Google/Trimble which also allows you to import 2D drawings and whittle it away until it's a scale accurate 3D image - think 2D satellite imagery and panoramic street-view pictures being converted into 3D buildings and you'll have its roots...

So I finish up the floor, airbags and mounts. Then I mounted tne mrap lights under the cab. Also painted floor and installed it.

Anybody seen where I can get a A1 parking brake cable. I ordered 1 from big Mikes and it must be from an A2 because it's a foot to short. Everybody says there's fits m939 but obviously there two different lenths

I'm curious.. Where do you get laminated armored glass from? And are there any restrictions on private individuals purchasing it?

I have four crates filled with ballistic glass rated to 50BMG. They are from a company that was building MRAPS that went belly up. Each has a gun port and nice flange all around. I have donated some to local SWAT team vehicle.

Are you going to draw the whole truck?

Can you send me the dimensions of this glass? I think it may fit the body I picked up last weekend.

Nice find Kenny what's your plans with it.
