AMT Autocar DC9965B Truck 1972 rebuild

Thanks for stopping by Warren. Have you posted that mixer here? I would like to see it I’m trying to remember it if you did. -
AMT Autocar DC9965B Truck 1972 rebuild
Pete68 replied to Pete68's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Jeff I’ve never rebuilt one one always had the intention too for a couple but never did. Thanks for stopping by. -
This was my Brother Bill’s truck he built back in 1972. Truck started out as a dump truck but I think it got smashed by his Little Brother not mentioning any names here ?. He rebuilt it into a massive Grain Hauler then years later gave the rig to me. I thought about rebuilding it back to Bill’s Grain truck but I decided to shorten it up and make a tractor out of it. I hope I can give the 52 year old model some justice.

Great looking build Al. Looks like my brother Bill’s resin master hood is still holding up well fits like a glove. Beautiful outcome. -

1/32 Freightliner cabover
Pete68 replied to Rockford's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
I hate to tell another demon about this model it is too narrow it doesn’t measure as wide as it should be. Put it nose to nose with the other 1/32 truck and you will see the disappointment. I hated this truck. -

Pete68 replied to Rockford's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Nice one Steve. Might want to move the front axle forward a little while your at it. The cab is not to high it’s those headlights. There like the 1/25 AMT ones they need to be lowered. -

Pete68 replied to 53gmc's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
On the front axle you may have to raise it a little they always seem to squat in the front. I always put a small piece of styrene under the springs to raise it up. Just thought I would let you know -

1:43 scale peterbilt
Pete68 replied to 53gmc's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Yes it would be nice but Heller has the molds and they redone the 359 cab a little when they got them. Not for sure if Heller still has the molds are not. Thanks I custom made the decals for the single axle and also made single headlights for it. I need to get back on some of these and finish them. -

Nice choice I have several of these in progress and about 20+ unbuilt these are my favorite of the TNT series. Here’s my link if you want to look at some I’m working on. -
Where's this been?
Pete68 replied to Rockford's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Very nice I had one too in 1981 built it like yours straight out of the box and hooked the Union 76 tanker to it. Thanks for the memories. As always your doing great work Steve.
