International Lonestar Daycab Wrecker

The boxes. Road commander was the first truck kit I purchased on ebay almost 25 years ago. 

Models by Dave Lonestar Daycab. I guess I let it sit for too many years.  

That's better.  

Engine parts going through paint. 

 

Big beast of a power plant. 

 

Painted by the book. 

 

Wrecker box getting primer. 

Boom almost ready for primer.  

International chassis.  

Workout the clamps it warps a bit but I think glue should do the trick.  

Looks better. Threw the tow bar on the back to see the look.  

Testing the tow box fit. Had to take 3/4" of the rear of the frame to center the wheels in the fenders.  

Ummmm, it's a little long in the frame.  

Add a mercury sleeper / tool box take some room.  

Took 1 7/8" out of the frame, looks good.  

Looks great now! I think the tow body is going to need to come up a bit, we'll see when I try on some tires.  

The wheel and tire package. Box rears and Mo'Luminum front floats. 

Looks like it's going to ride perfect to me. That sleeper is about to meet revell chrome spray!
