GMC 9500 Tandem Tractor


Recommended Posts

This is the AITM short-nose 9500 cab kit, perched on top of an AMT GMC Astro 95. I modified the front wheels to fit the float tires from an Ertl IH Paystar, and made up mirror and exhaust brackets. All in all, one of the easiest conversions I've done in a while. Now I'm ready to order another one and the long-nose variant. :)

That's a tough looking GMC. How did you do the windshields, did you fab your own moldings?

Yep- I used some plastic D-section and overlapped it a bit over the opening, so that the clear piece would fit flush against it from the inside. 

Thanks guys!

Bumping this for a couple reasons. It now has two little sisters (thanks to the recently completed '79 Caballero), and also to honor Dave.

Now if you will pardon me, the RJ's GMC General that I started right after doing the '72 service truck is calling me...
