mackinac359 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 The best looking use of the Road Commander II cab. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_S Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Not sure what White Motors called the paint scheme on the left, but I always thought that was a good looking scheme. Has anyone ever worked with Dave Natale at AITM to get a truck cab produced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) You might want to contact Rick Mark as he is making masters for Dave, and is reopening his own casting line again. This got me thinking (always dangerous): if someone were to make this cab, how many other companies used this cab? Obviously Western Star and White, but what about Diamond-REO? Could a resin cab be offered for all of these companies with just a grill & nameplate change? Edited July 11, 2012 by Jim B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim, Do you have an updated address for Rick Mark. The address I have (www.rnk.conversions.com) returns a 404 page not found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich_S Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Kit form services Road commander 2 done up as WS coe close but not quite. Leo, Thanks for the update, I guess both the KFS Road Commander 2 and the Ford CL9000 are no longer available from this company. Maybe they will re-run a few of these out of stock kits?

Jim B Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Leo, what's the difference between the White Road Commander II and the Western Star COE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapazleo Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 The ws has a smaller windshield about 2 inches shorter and the bottom panels from the bottom of the doors down are different as the cab sits higher. The grille is different too. After Volvo took over White the WS version of the cab was used as the Volvo White coe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
