1/25 AMT Kenworth/Challenge Transit Mixer

[Dale Gribble]

Has anyone ever successfully assembled an old AMT semi chassis ??? I don’t think I’ve ever gotten one of the half dozen or so attempts right Over the years ...

I have done a few over the years, they are not unbuildable, you just have to have patience and go slow and test fit a lot.
So they are nothing you put together quickly with super glue as you might have to adjust along the way to square them up and get them right.

As Hakan said, it takes a lot of fitting to get the parts to go together correctly and run straight. I might spend an entire day filing and fitting and adjusting to get the thing to true up.

I'll be getting at least one of these for sure!!!!

The mixer would look great on the R Mack, same era as the mixer.  I believe many of us are buying this kit for a conversion to another chassis.

I'm going to do the Mack conversion as Anderson concrete.

How about a Louisville mixer? Endless possibilities now made possible. Purchased 3 already!

I turned my mixer into a service truck shortened the frame added a rear frame rail the service bed is a perfect fit and looks really good I’m not into mixers so was the perfect truck can add pics

[Dearl]

Ok thanks

Here's my build. Got it at a swap meet around 2000 for 50 bucks, started to build it as soon as I got home!

Have one too, the plan is to mate the mixer bits to a Autocar truck, cuz IMHO it looks more like a rough work truck. A project for when I retire in 5 or do years.
