  1. All I can say is WOW !!! BUT.....I noticed in the opening pictures, that your floor jack looks a little light duty. You might want to upgrade before you blow its seal.
  2. Just so you know I have been doing what I have said, here is a pic of the dining room table. I can start building right after dinner.
  3. Thanks Mark. I thought the cab went to the Junkyard Dog because it has dents in it like the hood does.
  4. Ok guys, after going through that huge big rig score, It really got me going. I have not touched a model in about a year, but I ordered some new glue, and will have the table cleaned off and set up by the end of the weekend.
  5. That took a lot of patience to lay those stripes out, but well worth the effort. They flow seamlessly from hood to cab.
  6. Terry, I think you must suffer from a touch of OCD. lol Awesome attention to detail !!
  7. Ok, last of the pics. The trailers. Looks like there is enough to build three tankers. A couple Reefer trailers ...and plenty of parts for dry goods, and doubles. Along with a couple low boys, flat bed, and Cattle Pods !! I noticed somebody got creative with a cattle pod trailer and built on that would go on what looks like Louisville ford, and a pickup. So thanks for following along as I dug through this HUGE score !! I appreciate all the help in identifying things and will now figure out what I want to keep and what will move on.
  8. The rest are just crazy. I dont know whats worse, opening a box and finding that it matches, or finding that it doesnt, or finding parts with no instructions, or instructions that do not match whats in the box. This Mack came with extras While this one might not all be there... ...and this one has the chassis in one box while the rest is in another. The rest are a craq shoot....lol ....oh, and I find mixer parts spread out in over four boxes.
  9. Lusk, WY lol Ok, I finally made it through the last of the truck boxes. Even with all the time I have spent going through things, its still only superficial. A Volvo and MB, partial builts with no paint and what looks like all the parts. Two Aeromax, one old build falling apart and one barely started. The Fords are both complete with the C600 having at least a spare cab. lol The BJ and the Bear kit is a falling apart built up. But appears to be all there. The Movin On kits are in real nice shape, one looks complete and unbuilt, the other looks like its missing a few.
  10. Please do. I'll even make sure there are a few cold ones in the fridge !!
  11. This one looks factory, but I sure cant tell you how hard or easy it was to achieve it. lol I went through a HUGE box of parts. LOTS of bagged stuff. Not sure what all the engines are, and a few different hoods. Bag after bag of parts, a tray of chrome trees, trays of interiors, and just more stuff than I can wrap my head around....
  12. Thanks a lot guys !! Every little bit helps. I am still not anywhere near hitting bottom yet. lol
  13. Thanks again guys, you have been a big help. I have been able to match just about everything up to instruction sheets, which will help a bunch when it comes to the bags of little parts. Ok, here are the rest of the partial buildups. the first one is a KW, like the cabs and hoods. is this the W-925 like the Movin On kit? The Green truck looks like an International Transtar F-4270? A few more 359 Petes, a really nice Fire engine that will get cleaned up and put in the display case. On the Dump beds, is the white one the Autocar?, and what is the orange one and mixer body? Thanks again everyone.
  14. Thanks Tom. i did not know if the cab/hood really went together because the hood seems so much wider than the cab.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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 !!!
  18. Ok, so WHERE do you display these monsters. I have a BIG enough problem with the 1/25. lol
  19. 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?
