Force - are the Bandag printed tires the same as come in the papa truck kits now ? If so, I have a full set available.

I personally think Force nailed it , the builders are out there. The manufacturers just have to figure out what they want to make it financially feasible as a kit. I've sent emails to several, and they've actually all returned them with the " we appreciate your info and have our team looking at options ."

Sam - hmm any of your options would really make a great BRBO entry ! I know it doesn't help your decision Welcome along ! Those KW snapper kits are surprisingly really nice kits ! The tires on mine were probably the only let down , but easily replaced w am parts .

Wow your really knocking this truck out ! Not to hijack your thread , but reminds me of a build I'm gathering parts for. My step dads IH 9300 , the first rig I've ridden in ! He pulls a Mac dump trailer behind it hauling road salt or corn Looking forward to your updates

Thank you ! Thanks ! These projects are always more fun w good bones to start with Thanks !

Thanks ! I've been working on rewiring daughters and our bathroom, so getting any bench time is tough ! Realized going up and down stairs all day wears me out

Okay I sent iamsuperdan the updates, if I forgot anyone or messed up please let me know asap to change it . Wish the board would allow me to change them, but guess it's a spam potential. Few builders yet to decide on projects, let's dust off those builds you've planned to build and join in !!!

Jerry - I would go the same color choice , seems I've been a bright color kick lately. The yellow w green would be very attractive.

Very good looking truck Ben ! Too bad it wasnt 1/25 cause I have a full set of spokes and tires from Aitm that I didnt end up using !

Sounds good Warren ! I have a few additions to send admin to have the list updated , I'll get yours included Thanks for joining us

Wife test drove a new ford escape , and it had the heads up display. We actually thought it was very impressive keeping everything in the line of sight, yet it was transparent enough to see thru.

Jacobus - really nice build your planning. I havent done an Aussie truck before but eventually I'll add one ! Oldmopar- wow that's gonna be awesome !! Especially easy paint scheme in flat black Counting down the days before kick off ! I so badly want to start another brockway plow, but staying focused on the oshkosh

Oh man that Mack looks awesome in blue wow Local trucking company Alnye runs several Anthems, and a few new Freightliners too

Dr Kerry - good to have ya along!

Okay I'll contact the mods to update your entry. Sure will !

I started assembly on Ryan's one way plow , adding the springs and main mount . Theres a bunch of details to add yet . Its so nice having these plows available again

Thanks everyone I appreciate the feedback ! I really wanted to utilize the steerable knuckles on the front axle. Looking at photos of the steering system really had me doubting I could create the arms and have them work. Well, I'm a year older and must be more patient... my buddy sent a brochure photo that got the ball rolling.. I chucked up some solid evergreen rod in my dremel and slowly turned the profile into the rod. Drilling out the ends where the ball joint would be.. Making more pins from rod , and swaging the ends..and it actually worked !!!

Highway - thanks for pointing that out, I recall reading about it now. I'll just message the moderators when we need things changed

My choice would be a Mack Granite, or any of the newer freightliner trucks. Likelyhood we'll never see the Cat/ Pro Star even though it would be a simple change Any modern trailer would be welcome, Keystone is making several awesome trailer's possible , so guess I'd want a new flatbed

Wow nice color

Awesome ! I wondered if it was Illinis or a Spaulding

Awesome I'll get you updated ! Only a few more days away !!!

Thank you !!! I noticed the edit option was missing after a few days, figured it was a time issue ..

Thanks for joining us Pat ! I'll add your name and build to the list Who cast the K8 ? Looks like a great project

Jerry - cool pic ! Only few more days to go
