    I think the fenders would look better if you made them narrower, so there is a bigger gap between it and the hood and have the fender connect to the frame.

    Like on this International truck from 1920.


    Also note how the fender is a bit shorter and does not wrap around the wheel as much as yours.

    You can still keep the utilitarian box look and have it a bit sleeker.

    1. does this use universal wheels?
    2. do you plan to add a supercharger to the engines?

    Many many apologies, my good sir, I had no idea that you were developing this and could make executive decisions.

    In a roundabout way, i'm saying you're not the person developing this.

    The tire walls look too thin, but that might just be preference.

    This uses custom wheels, thus, it doesn't support the universal wheels yet, and idk if it will support universal wheels.


    There won't be superchargers for this; I'm going for trying to make a period correct style 1920s truck here, not really going for a hot rod.

    Intentional; These tires are somewhat different than modern tires. They are much thinner, and had varying sizes. I am even considering making them even thinner solid rubber tires, because that'd be something you'd find on vehicles like this at this time period, especially trucks.

    Yes, indeed it has a thread now. Will I regret this? Probably, but too late to go back now ;)


    Looks like I'll have to try modeling that... Obviously it wouldn't be practical, but it's certainly entertaining to look at.

    I'll also try your advice on the fenders, and see how that turns out.

    Technically speaking, yes, you are correct. There was that one as well as the Franzel which was popular on flathead V8's of the time...



    Now, while these were popular addons... even for truck drivers... I don't think there was any truck that came from the factory with a supercharger at the time (I might be wrong... there was a lot of weird stuff coming from automobile factories of that time). So the part would most likely be an add on and not a factory option if it would be considered at all... plus the McCulloch was produced from 1937 to 1940 and the Frenzel wasn't produced until 1943 (I think... I didn't look that number up so it might be later than that) soooo both would be late in the production run of this vehicle if it were going to even be considered for it. On top of that, they didn't really make a whole lot of boost... only 4 to 6 psi I think... and they were both designed exclusively for Flat Head V8's.

    Not knocking the idea or anything, just pointing that out.

    Man, lots of great mods coming! Fintray Roadster, the Steampunk car (I unfortunately forgot the name), and now this! It looks fantastic so far! Maybe something along the lines of Gavril B-Series (Beta series), Gavril Model-C (Crash?), or maybe even Gavril Class-L? So what all engines does this have right now?
    Also @Damiean Ron Lyons please don't fill this thread with name suggestions or stupid questions, just wait for the (long time away) release.
