Repstock Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I've had access to one in a boneyard, and I've created CAD files for it. I notice this truck has virtually NO rivets. Any interest in this topic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperStockAndy Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Never seen one before but it's something I'd probably buy if it was available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truckaddict Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 big rig modlers are always looking for more variety. I think if its done well and a decient price you could sell some for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skysoldier46 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I'd consider buying one if done right. by the way, what are those wind screens for on the front corners? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) Yes Tom it would do very well! I am currently mastering the next generation of that cab and people are begging for it! That year model has never been done in resin. I would take at least two myself! Edited November 29, 2012 by Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim B Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I agree! I think it would sell quite well. Looks like I better pick up another couple of Titan kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackinac359 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Those are wind deflectors on the corner. They helped prevent mud/snow/splash debris up on the wide windows and were supposed to keep the wind from buffetting the mirrors. The Ford COE's weren't the most aerodynamic.. In the 70's, the corner deflectors were very common on Canadian COE's of all makes. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelbaskett Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 The grill is a bit different, but you could build "The Blue Mule" from this i think...?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I don't know how well it would sell to the general big rig modeling public, but I know I'd be up for a couple. My great uncle had one, and I've always liked them myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not positive the cab is the same, but the "Blue Mule" style IS what replaced these. Maybe the cab is the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandit1 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I know a ton of us big rig modelers that would love to have several of these if available! Eric Jones would love to have one probably? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBad Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Looking at the 73 Chevelle Tom is making... I'd say this Ol' Ford is going to be an excellent proposition! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Brian Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I'd be in if the price is do-able. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disabled modeler Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I was planing on making one with a Pete coe cab so there is interests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 (edited) I'm not positive the cab is the same, but the "Blue Mule" style IS what replaced these. Maybe the cab is the same? The basic cab is the same. The major difference is the grille and the roof. The roof on the 66-73 cab was flat. The roof on the 73-77 cab has indented lines running front to rear. The cab your wanting to produce was used from 1966-1973. The "Blue Mule" WT9000 is a 1974 model. That cab was used from 1973 (late) to 1977. This is the cab I am currently mastering.

Ben Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Here's how the 66 model looks. You'll see a lot of little differences. The windshield is smaller, the "F O R D" letters are larger, there are two wiper motor access vent panels, covers over the wipers, round turn signals, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Now here's some shots of the late 73-77 model WT9000 cab. More pics of the cab I am mastering here: http://www.public.fotki.com/lotso/ford-wt9000/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
