1950s-1960s Ragtop Trailer
DRIPTROIT 71 replied to RoninUtah's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Great looking fleet!! Awesome idea with the trailer! I may have to use that idea myself! Excellent work on all!! That first Freightliner looks very similar to build by former member that went by “Old Buckaroo.” I always liked that truck as well! -
The great thing about building semi trucks is that you can put whatever engine that you want in it. Remember the truck that you’re building could have been a glider kit and any engine could be used. There could also have been an engine change. There should be no real size difference between the 71 and the 92 series, the only difference is if you add the turbo. I put a turbo in my K123 to represent an 8v-71t, and I didn’t have any issues with the fit. I would think that the Peterbilt would be the same. Regardless, modifications can be pretty easily made. I squeezed a 3406 Cat into an LNT 9000 Ford.

Does anyone offer a decent 318 poly yet?

I have 3 sets of White Road Commander 2 stripe decals up for trade. One set of blue and two sets of green. These fit the KFS cab. I will probably never use them as I only had one cab. I had purchased extras in case I damaged them putting them on. They are very strong decals as they didn’t tear, but they were a bit of a challenge to work with. I’m willing to trade for truck stuff, preferably in the US. Let me know if you are interested. The truck is not up for trade, it is only shown for example.

Thanks Brian! It is just silver lacquer spray paint. It was either Napa brand or Duplicolor. -

Convoy Rubber Duck Trailer
DRIPTROIT 71 replied to Warren D's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
I wasn't meaning that you should have done anything different. I wouldn't have hollowed it any more than I would have added cameras to the truck. It looks perfect!! I just thought that it was interesting when I saw it and thought that I would share it. Excellent work for sure!! -
