That is nice and a good color combo too. Will be interesting to see what the trailer looks like when complete.

Ah the ever so hard to get hold of Maclean Truck, a funky colour combo, looking good Ronson. Now is the trailer gonna look as funky.

The finished product for now,this isnt what intended for the trailer I need to get some more parts to do what I originally wanted to do.I agree the McLeans trucks are quite hard and expensive to come by the one I have just painted was in poor condition when I got it. The 2 originals with the code 3.

Very nice. I have one of these trucks but it is missing decals and the rear doors to the box van. Did not know they were that rare. I got mine in a parts lot with a bunch of toys for a resto job.

I really like it. Love the steel girders on the truck. Are they metal or plastic?

 

Never seen such pretty McLeans truck too

I've got to find one of those tractors! I have a guy in my old truck club in L.A. area that has the real world example and would love to make one up as a custom for him. That's based on a GMC 950 cab over, similar to the one used on the TV series Cannonball from the late 50's.

The girders are plastic bought from the local hooby shop. I remember the series Cannoball phew thats awhile ago lol.

Great work on that McLean truck.  Love the colors, and what classy lines. just something about that style of truck, leaves our modern cab overs for dead.
