I made five trucks for the December toy drive and one for me. The inspiration was this C Cab truck from Canadian Woodworking.

I have to make these for kids to play with so some things get added and other things taken away to make them a little safer. I beefed up the bumper, the stake body (added more side board parts), the fenders, and made the dash and cab posts in one piece. I removed the shifting lever and the headlights and moved the steering wheel the left side.

No, we drive on the right. ;)

The actual plans show the steering wheel in the correct position, it is only the photo at the top that shows it reversed. One suspects that a graphic designer reversed the photo for esthetic reasons and hoped no one would notice the discrepancy. :rolleyes: :)

My guess would be a reversed negative. ;)
