Sam I Am

Thanks AL, but I think the shipping would be murder. Ok everyone, Here are the Conventional cabs... I think the second Pic is KW ? and the third pic is Pete 359.

Gordon, I am really liking that COE, but will keep you in mind if things change. Terry, HUGE thanks for the help with identifying the chassis.

That is one cool build !!

No apology needed Mark. you have helped my learning curve a lot. Thanks !! Jim B, that is great. I will print those out and add them to the pile for parts identification. Wonderbread Kustoms, you aint whistling !!!

Ok, so WHERE do you display these monsters. I have a BIG enough problem with the 1/25. lol

Love the orange JT !!

Now THATS why I posted the picks. GREAT eye !! I went back and looked closer and yes, somebody cut down a cab. AWESOME !! I never even noticed, now where do I send the beer?

Thanks Tom, I found a set of instructions for the K-123 Cabover, but not the other two

Ok, here is what was in the box of Cabovers. I already identified the Mack and matched it up with the instruction sheet, but any help with the rest ,again, will be appreciated.

the rest...

Mark, I am a newbie when it comes to the trucks and that went straight over...or through...what kit did it come from? I dug through the stack of instruction sheets and came up with both ones for Autocar. lol Ok, here is what was in the box of frames. Afew look like they were custom built as well. The one with the radiator shell still attached is a KW. Any and all help with identifying these is much appreciated also. Thanks again...

Thanks Mark, thats a big help. Sean, you should see the power saw and 18v drill on the floor.

That Diamond Reo is a beautiful truck. Ok, here is an assortment of parts. Roughly sorted Autocar stuff. The chassis, cab and hood all seem to be correct, but there is a different set of fenders that are also Autocar, but a different series? Any help identifying the bits will be appreciated. TIA, Sam

steering or non steering ?

LOL, Ya Terry, I agree. Its 20 inches long. I did the math at 1/25 scale and just shook my head.

Thanks everyone !! Jim, somehow I knew you would be ok with an oil rig setup. Guys, this thing would be forty feet long if it was real, have any of you seen a 1:1 that long ? Oh, and where would you guys recommend positioning the tag axle ?

Ok, here are a couple more pics. The first pic has three stacks of kits, the center stack and right stack are all brand new sealed bags, unbuilt. The stack on the left is barely started. the second pic is of partial kits, I think the rest of the parts are in the boxes of misc. parts. The Cruise liner is also pictured. There is some 1/32 stuff, and a 1/43 ? built that is unpainted. I will gladly part with these.

I've been going through the boxes tonight and since I am partial to cab overs, I was tickled pink to find most of a built Mack Cruise liner !!!

Thanks Dennis ! Mark, I am not sre on the Mixer, have not opened that box up yet. Sean, this stuff came from an old Hobby Shop that closed down, and the old guy who owned it was a huge modeler. The guy I got this bunch from brought home four pickup loads plus a 16 ft trailer piled four feet high.

Thanks Guys !! Terry, I was already thinking about the tag axle, now i need to go look at pics of sleepers. lol James, it came from Billings. JT, I have no idea what I will do with it all yet. It will take awhile to inventory it all, and I will post more pics as I unpack stuff.

....and the rest

...more

I have been working on a deal for some big rig stuff for about nine months. The guy delivered the pickup load of kits, built ups, partial builds, and parts, parts,and more parts. The one that intrigues me the most is the stretched KW. I just need to figure out what to put on it. lol

Since this project is a time filler, it will go slow at times. We now have the cab stripped and after three days of scrubbing, the chassis is painted. We also have the front end blown apart and started prepping the hood panels. Inside of the frame covers are painted as well. It will be painted in University of Wyoming colors.....Brown and Yellow.....and used for parades.

Awesome !!
