This is going to be cool. I'll be watching.

I know these cabs are really nice. I really like the Dodge cab.

The Ford is going on the AMT Kenworth 123 cabover frame, and the Dodge is going on the AMT Freightliner cabover frame.

You're welcome. Hope you find some cabs there you want to build.

So I got the decals on the Blue Mule, but they didn't fit right and wouldn't line up right as you can see. I tried this is the best they will line up.

Thanks. I got them at AITM they finally started taking orders again.

Got a couple cabovers I'm working on here. The Blue Mule Ford W9000 from Whiteline Fever and a Dodge L-1000 that will be a Carolina Trucking when completed. I spent hours cutting out where the Windows go and got the Ford painted white and the Dodge in primer. Cold weather is preventing me from getting much painting done. You don't see the frames yet because they are just pre-built cab swaps.

You can get the decals from Modeltruckin that's where mine are from.

It says an error occurred when I click on the contact us link on the site.

I tried the contact us link on the new site it says an error occurred when I click on it.

Has anyone ordered from Model Truckin Decals recently? I was just there on what I "think" is the right site, but it looks different from the way it used to look when I ordered from them about a year or so ago. It says Zen Cart and the site interface looks terrible. Plus several sets of decals are just gone. I wanted to build a Piggy Wiggly truck but those decals are gone.

Looking great.

Looking great so far Sam. I'm going to be doing a Diamond Reo Raider Forward Axle soon. I have the cab ordered. I look forward to seeing more progress on this.

That trailer kit is a pain. I have one built that is warped and another barely started in my closet. Yours is looking good though.

You will see that there are 2 extra break hubs that you can simply leave off and it will look just fine.

I've got a lot of work done finally. Still a ways to go though.

Any idea what trailer you're going to put behind it? I'm thinking of using the Wilson Livestock trailer behind mine. I've got some work done so I'm posting a few new pics.

Looks great. I need to get back to work on mine.

Just got one of these reissued beauties yesterday. I have 2 of the original issues but decided to build a brand new one. I know the photos quality is bad but I went with a dark metallic purple. I will probably use the factory decals too. The green and white pic was my first choice but that color scheme fell through due to bad paint, so it was to the purple pond then a new color scheme.

Very nice paint job.

Thank you. It took a while to get it completely finished but it paid off. I have several unfinished one can be seen in the pic there. The green Kenworth with the silver trailer. I'm just in a rut right now and my building has came to a grinding halt.

Here she is finished 100% trailer and all. Decided to do the Allied truck and drop the green.

Thanks Gator. I finished the truck. It turned out pretty good. I just need some Purina decals for the trailer. Sadly no one makes them.

Well here is as far as I've gotten on my tribute truck. As I said in the questions section when I asked if anyone knew of resin cabs to these trucks I said this was a tribute the the truck my neighbor drove when I was a kid. I'm not happy with the paint, it ran in several places on the hood. I sanded it down and went over it with brush paint but now it has brush marks. Anyway the frame is from a KW W923 the wheels and tires are from a Freightliner COE. I can't take more pics yet because the cab is bonding to the frame with 5 minute epoxy. Oh the sleeper is from a IH 4300.

I got my IH 9300 cab today. Honestly it's really nice. I have a sleeper for it from the 4300 kit. Soon as the weather clears and I get some black paint, I'll start building it.
