carsntrucks4you Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Hall Scout build truck engines until the 1960's. Most of them were gasoline engines because the early diesel engine weren't powerful enough for trucks.. All major truck manufactures like Peterbilt, Kenworth, Mack or Autocar offered Hall Scott engines either as gasoline or butan engines. I will install this engine in a Peterbilt 280 COE from Strato model. I used Fusion 360 to design the 3D model and a Anycubic Mono X as a printer. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafsprings Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Very impressive work on this engine. Glad you were able to find detailed original photos for reference. Any info on what color the Hall Scott was painted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The later diesel engines were painted dark green, so I''m think about to paint mine dark green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Very interesting. Since this engine is going in a 1960s Peterbilt, you could always paint it white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leafsprings Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Excellent work Michael! Great powerplant choice for a 50's big rig! They look very similar to a big diesel engine. Here is another big gas engine from the era. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
