In Topic: Freightliner cabover

If able to.a good substitute for this kits ladder steps are those from the GMC Astro/ Titan 90 kits,they can be modified in such a way that they represent a later model Freightliner C.O.E especially when the top step is boxed in from the back as previuously mentioned. When i start on my Freightliner,i intend to eliminate the ladder steps alltogether and built an earlier model with the "stirrup" type hoop steps. BTW,the paint/striping looks great!..........................Mark

In Topic: Patriotic paint schemes

There were some really cool bicentennial editions from Ford pick ups to locomotives,everything was red white and blue.

This F-model is pre-bicentennial,Mack did this paint scheme in 1970 to promote their 70 year anniversary.........................Mark

In Topic: 1960 auto transport GMC

This is a mid to late sixties GMC 9500 series,the short hood version,usually powered by a 238 Detroit diesel,and equipped with a tag axle,the 9500 series also came in a long hood version,a good many of those were V-12 Deroit powered.The same cab was also used on the later "Brigadier" and "Bruin" series trucks by GMC and Chevrolet respectively. Many car-carriers used this exact set-up as it was pretty much bulletproof for its intended purpose.............Mark
