Ben G. You hit the nail on the head with Chuckyr and Thatswhatshesaid, they are the only two allowed to comment on anything here. My Husband who drove a truck for over 20 years in addition to owning trucks and had to give up driving because he became disabled in Iraq made a comment on another thread and they ate him alive. He threw out the box of models I bought him and said he didn't want to be on a site where a select few where allowed to speak. Seems to me the moderators would say something to these to know it all's. But that's my opinion.

Thank You Everyone. He went into the Hospital on Tuesday, we just came home today. He still doesn't feel great but was able to come home. Now on top of his disability we have other issues now. I did get them back out, I think he will try again, our one son is trying to help him build. One of the items that was in the box of parts I got him was a wrecker bed. He said it was from a tri axle set, it's not in great shape, I am trying to talk him into taking a photo and listing it for trade. We will see what happens. Thanks again, I will keep working on him.

He is as you say lurking around, thats why I thought that maybe some of you might have older kits that you may not going to build or spare truck parts. He has been showing me the pictures of some of the awsome builds on here even though he says he will never be that good. He has started building one of the kits to look like the truck he drove with his first paying job, it was a international transtar in a blue with gray stripes paint. He has a large box on his workspace that he is making to look like a parts room of sorts where he is putting all the loose parts that were in the box. It had a transtar kit and a cabover freightliner kit that where unopened. Then there was a chevy van with a car trailer that he says is missing alot, a wrecker bed, some tires and fenders and other stuff, his parts room looks impressive to me. Thank You

Hello, I come to you today to ask for some help. My husband was a trucker for many years; he also served in the US Army Reserve where he deployed several times to Iraq and Afghanistan. He is now a disabled vet and had to give up truck driving. I was at a garage sale and bought a box of 1/24 scale model trucks, only 2 of them where new the rest were just parts, I only paid $10.00 for the box but when I gave it to him he lit up, I haven't seen him this happy in years. He has spent many hours building so far and has started researching what other people are building. There is new life in him. However due to the fact he only draws a small amount of disability pay we live on what I make which isn't much with 3 kids. I was wondering if anyone could possible spare a kit or even just parts. With the price of new kits and what the older ones sell for on ebay I just can't afford to get them for him. Any help is appreciated. He loves cabovers (even though he mostly drove long noses but he did learn to drive on a cabover) reefers and doubles. Macks, Kenworths, and peterbilts are his favorite brands.
