Very impressive work on this combo! You nailed the look of a million mile fleet truck from the golden age of trucking. Exhaust, intake and oil filters takes this IH to the next level. -

IMO, dechromed axle caps off the KW kits would look great glued over your rear ( red ) hubs. They are flatter and more realistic looking. -

Me thinks that Chevy is a little too light for a 750. -

BRBO 2021 Ford T8000 Dump
leafsprings replied to DRIPTROIT 71's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Can't find a photo of a Detroit installation, but I suppose, knowing Ford, they would have used the same air cleaners and brackets that the V6 Cummins used, to the same dual hood scoops. There both very tight fits. -

This might help explain. The radiator grill also had shutters for cold weather operation. Ok, I'll throw in a photo of a Custom Cab with extra heavy 6 spokes and a full build sheet for the real deal.. -
There is a new conventional cab offering from Dan on ebay. Would be nice to have a period frame also.Pre-Order Kenworth W 825 "Needle Nose" 1/25 scale resin cab kit | eBay

Great to see another classic being built! The GMC and haulaway both date to the early 60's. Hope this data helps. -
Excellent detail work on interior and Cummins diesel. Great too see more classics being built on this forum.

Great to see you tackle this excellent resin offering from Dan Models. This was a very popular dump truck in its day. I'll be watching this one closely. There were 2 more diesels available, the Cummins straight 6 C160 or C180 and the Cummins V6E 195. This particular cab ( raised roof ) ran from mid '65 to '69, was replaced by the Louisville in '70. -
Can't wait to see that one, a ten wheeler with a CAT

Nice kit. I believe there was a resin conversion kit available at one time to transform into a F7 or F 8, not sure, but it had a wider front end. When it becomes available again, I would be in the market for the Monogram kit for a donor cab.

All the GMC kits never came with an accurate racked back grill ( actually its a trim piece attached around the grill ) shown in this photo.

The Challenge is a 8 yard drum, the Ertl Rex was a 10 yard. This stuff is heavy, weighs about 4000 lbs a yard. -

I believe we will see torsion bars pretty soon too.
