If you been following my H. Farm journals. You would be seeing my GMC Brigadier at work on it. So here is the story how this custom came to life. I bought a International 9300 day cab semi. Which is a DCP truck. Then I bought the GMC cab kit. Plus a set of nice chrome pipes. Removed the International cab from the frame. I found the GMC cab wouldn't fit. Since the frame stuck out too from the front wheels. And the GMC has a shorter nose. So I grind down that frame some until it fit. Then took black paint to cover the fresh metal from grinding. Painted the cab inside and out. Glued that down. Then added the pipes. Now I have one sweet GMC. This was a good tricky project and one of my first trucks I did. Keep looking at my H. Farm Journals. And you will see this GMC still hard at work.

Way you like your GM/Chevy trucks. I'm surprised you don't have a Brig or 9500 somewhere on your display. I have a 9500 semi as well. I been thinking of making a dump truck version of him as well.
