Very nice!!

Thanks Dan!! Thanks Gilles! There was a 352 on the internet for sale with one rear window like this one, that is where the idea came from.

Thanks Landon!! Thanks Victor!! The wood was .030" thick, so I framed out the top with .030" styrene to make it flush when finished. I do like the way it turned out.

Very nice build Pat!! I like it!!

Top notch work!! A real beauty!!

Beautiful build Ken!!

Very nice job! You don't see these old Marmons in scale very often.

Just to add a little to what has already been said. Wheel diameter is measured where the bead of the tire sits on the rim. Split rims have a taller lip around the edge than tubeless rims which sometimes makes them appear larger than they are sometimes. As already said, tubeless rims are generally 22.5” or 24.5” and sometimes 19.5” on lighter duty and some lift axles. Split rims, which ran tubes were usually 20”, 22” or 24”. 20” split rims and 22.5 tubeless rims fit the same spokes on spoke type wheels. As already stated both were available and even popular from the 70s - the 90s, at least around here. Most AMT kits are modeled after split rims including the Freightliner.

Glad to this one coming together! Can you take two AMT Mercury sleeper and make the one that you want?

It was 3d printed from a former vendor here on the forum. Unfortunately he is no longer in business. Texas 3d Custom offers a few of the v6 engines, but I’m not sure if they offer a stock version or not.

Nice looking rig!! I like your Farmall avatar as well!

Thanks Dave!! Thanks Tommy!! Thanks Brian!!

Thanks Matt!! Thanks Ronald!! This one dodges the scales.😁 Thanks Brian!!

Beautiful rig Ken! Excellent work as always!!

First of all; Excellent color choice! Second, Excellent subject choice! Very nice work on this one, it looks great! Top notch photography!!

Thanks! They don’t list anything. ST Supply list some, but don’t list the diameter. I’m going to take a gamble and try them.

Thanks Lee!! Thanks Ken!! My favorite too! Thanks Jim!! Thanks Johnny!! Thanks Larry!! Thanks Graham!! Thanks Warren!! The wood was .030" thick, so I framed out the bed and center rails with .030" styrene so that the wood would be level with the bed. Thanks Brian!! It's balsa wood, so it is really soft and easy to mark. Thanks Steve!!
