Looks like a locomotive!

I can't wait for someone to make a hood/grill conversion to back date these to an 06/07 model or even back to the 7.3's. Nice score JT!

Thanks JT! I figured you'd like the orange! Just kiddin!

Thanks Jim! They sort of resembled a kW 848 and a couple other models so I didn't know.

I guess today is my day for a million questions! Does anyone know what model kW the Alaskan hauler is based on, and were they used in the lower 48?

I was going to use one of the kit bumpers as a starting point for a bigger bumper, but I may just stick with atoxl parts for this one! Thanks for all the help guys!

OK, that makes sense, I wasn't even thinking about the dm800 parts!

Thanks fellas! Just what I needed! One other question, has anyone used the other bumper that comes with the kit, the one without the bars?

Does anyone have the instructions for the regular tractor version of the paystar 5000 that shows the regular front bumper assembly, not the extended front bumper assembly? All I need is a pic of the directions, thanks guys!

Thanks fellas, but the credit for the hinges goes to Ray, I just stole his idea!

Ray aka 20dakota04 had a tutorial in his heavy haul Autocar build its really a great way of doing hinges in my opinion.

The mail lady was super nice to me yesterday! the b-67 kit from AITM was an anniversary gift from my lovely wife, and the 55 KW needle nose was GIVEN to me...i want to send out another huge thank you to this person!

got my little issue with the front axle width smoothed out. i ended up removing the wheels and cutting out the centers, then modifying a brake drum to space out the wheels like i wanted. unfortunately i broke the drivers side knuckle off, but no big deal cuz its probably stronger now that theres some metal holding the steering together instead of plastic. also got the doors hinged... heres what i came up with.

I've been meaning to post Jere, just haven't gotten around to it, these are the guys I've traded with recently, there are some others bit I can't remember them right now, anyways! Superpeterbilt Terry Petetrucker Clayton Doobie. Dave Chivers Dewitt. Dewitt Goins Mr.Mopar. Doug Spencer I wouldn't hesitate to trade with any of these guys!

Very nice Bullnose Jacobus!

I feel your pain on that one, I put the 6v92 in my lnt 8000 mixer, and boy there was a lot of firewall and floorboard mods!

Dave, I have some of those pe hinges and in my opinion they aren't worth the money. They are extremely hard to work with and I couldn't get mine to open correctly. Just my two cents though! Ken the the 352 is lookin great!

the cab is krylon jade if I remember correctly, the frame is krylon satin black

Thanks Dennis, I will try some of these!

Yes, the epoxy is a thorn in my side, wish I never bought the stuff now! I may have room to get a saw between the backing plate and the wheel, but yes, like Warren said, if I move the wheel in then there will be clearance issues. Oh well you live and learn...this is definitely a learning experience on this one! Thanks for the help fellas, I really appreciate it!

Nice, I like the decals, they look great!

Haaa! They've already got enough to bug me about!

Geez! you said cut and referred to redoing something....ooooohhhh NNOOOOOOO!!!!!! Just pickin Terry! i thought of that, but i reallly really really dont want to, but that may be the end result. i thought about just posing it with the wheels turned so you wont notice it too much.

ran into a problem that i need some help on. i got ahead of myself and glued the front wheels on....with ca glue......and epoxy, yeah they arent going anywhere! the front wheels stick out too far and i was wanting somesuggestions on how to remedy this. i think im gonna make some fender flares, but what else?

ok, got this photo posting thing licked thanks to Clayton and Dennis, thanks guys!! heres some of the fifth wheel photos i couldnt post earlier.
