    Looks like the truck from the video 'Will it run after 81 years 1929 gmc'. I love it!

    Looks beautiful so far. pre war semi, probably the most unique commercial truck mod on here. Will the oldest engine be air cooled? Also, what other upfits besides flatbed, tanker and semi fifth wheel? If you're open to suggestions, maybe a box truck, stake side bed, stripped chassis (no upfit), maybe even period correct fire engine.


    If you consider verions with tandem rear axles, an actual big truck like this


    Finally, since that truck has a trailer, I think period correct trailers to go with the semi would be nice. I understand that I just requested a lot so it's fine if you don't make all of it. Just putting out ideas.

    What is the displacement?
    Engines from that time had to be very big to make so much power.

    The truck will have a drawbar which can pull horse drawn type vehicles. We have plans for a "Hank Model 5" which will be a 'horse drawn' version of the tank from this truck. No horses, so it will serve as a trailer for the Model 8.

    Main inspiration for the 1912 variant is a 1915 GMC with Fageol and others as well, the streamline is a combination on GMC, Chevrolet, El Car, Kenworth, and Oldsmobile

    Here are some screenshots showing some of the things that has been modeled recently.
    Two pictures of a new cab type. The 1920-1926 type.
    One picture showing the new steering system.

    Finally, there is a random piece of my concept art for this truck. I would like to see if anybody can guess what this concept art is showing.
