CALLING ALL AMT DIAMOND REO'S (w/ amt western stars, etc...)


Recommended Posts

Jacobus,

Some really nice vintage rigs you have there...very well done.

The Alaskan Hauler (green KW) looks EXACLY like the picture on the box (was anyone else dismayed as a kid that there was NO chrome in the kit?)

Funny part is, now....I'm usually stripping off ALL the chrome for my trucks now!

The WT 9000 is pretty cool too. overall---nice group there at the ol' truck stop.

Chris, if you are asking about the exhaust on the black WS, there is not an actual Y-pipe. All the pictures I found on the internet show the exhaust is sent to stacks from a dual exit muffler under the right frame rail. The head pipe comes off the turbo and drops to just below the frame and enters a round muffler on the long end, and from 2 side outlets, goes to the stacks. In this picture, you can see the passenger side exhaust and muffler. The drivers side is a mirror image, with extra length to get to the muffler on the passenger side frame rail.

Great collection, Jacobus - Could be seen at a truckstop around 1980...

I especially like the '70s Ford WT9000 Coe (like "Blue Mule from White Line Fever") and the '60s Diamond T Coe - what conversions are these?
