JTalmage Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I'm not a big truck guy, but I want that Ford F cab, chassis, and dump bed something fierce! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafsprings Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 (edited) Wow, now that's a Alaskan Hauler! Looks like a pre mid 60's KW cab, something we never got from big plastic. Dan does amazing work! Edited November 4, 2017 by leafsprings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JS23U Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 This is amazing news, IMHO. I always thought about getting one of their Kenworth models, but then I am not a fan of loggers or Canadian cabs. But this new road truck would fit my wishes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRIPTROIT 71 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I just started my 850 Ford. Unfortunately I didn’t look at it close when it arrived, life was very busy and I was just glad that it came. It is definitely not from the same master as the one pictured above nor is the quality up to the one above. I am not saying that you shouldn’t buy one, I am just saying be aware that you most likely won’t get what is in the picture, and that evidently that the one pictured doesn’t exist any more.

Can you post some pics of what you have? I'd be interested in seeing specific details, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go to my build thread, another member posted pictures of his cab that actually looks like the stock photo and you can see the differences.

I agree, but it looks like Brian updated his Workbench topic to reflect that it isn't a Dan Models cab. I think Dan Models only sells direct, but it's always possible to buy second hand.

It is the same one that posted all his kit including the Kenworth in the link above. It was shipped from Romania. It was the same stock photo. It came with the same photo etch. I agree it is not the same cab. Edited January 29, 2021 by DRIPTROIT 71 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is still in the box it was shipped in. For the sake of argument I sent the eBay seller a message to ask if they were Dan Models or just a dealer. I also asked leaf springs if his was still in the box to compare addresses. I purchased it thinking that I was getting it straight from Dans models based on others experience. I’m not trying to spread negativity, but this is definitely not what it was represented as. If we can find out what happened maybe it will help someone else not have the same problem.

What you received is significantly different than what it should be, and does appear to be of lesser quality than what others have received and what is shown in the listing. Granted, that appears to be an early cast or possibly the master with p/e parts in place, but still, the grey cab you received is not on that same quality level. I would definitely try to get a replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It went into the closet until now. I I asked him if a new mold with a new master was used or what happened. I didn’t ask for anything because I should have checked it six months ago. We’ll see what he says. I think that I can work with it, but it is clearly a different cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Update! Dan’s son has asked for pictures and says that he wants to make things right. I will let you know how this turns out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
