C8 progress in Texas

[David DeWeese]

Thanks Gordon and Rob for the information!
Looked around on-line today,(slow day), for some matching vintage-looking padlocks for the storage lockers. Not much luck.
Found these on ebay tonight with 8 minutes left on the auction and pulled the trigger.
They're U.S. marked, but solid brass, keyed alike and with brass chains, so...
Thanks again, David

Hi,
Finally completed my reproduction/replica British Duple rear body for the C8, (and finished almost one year to the day I started construction on it).

Thanks, David

A very nice body there, but I see my favourite Dodge dump truck has a new pair of suicide doors too.

Is the Dodge next on the list? I still have to pick up those parts from Belgium but that was delayed for the best possible reason - too busy at work.


A rear hood for the Chev too?

Very nice David!

Thanks all for the kind words !
This rear body has to be the most labor-intensive version I could have chosen to build for this truck, but I've always liked this type.

I will say that without the great help and CD plans from Mike Kelly, building this body would not have been possible. Thanks, Mike!


Hi, Gordon. Yes, the Dodge is next in line. Been locating parts for it here and there, but some of them are not too pretty. Had to piece together a pair of fenders after some hot-rodding kid took a plasma cutter to them (photo).
Got that butchered Radio Commmand Car re-joined and sold also...
Thanks, David
