I think the biggest change would be the wheels. I built the AC dump truck & the kerosene lights are in the kit.
That's the look I'm going for, but in 1/24.
The biggest change is the Radiator and Hood for the Pre 1918.

I believe AITM used to have a back dating kit for the AC Bulldog.

Yes Dave did I asked him on several occasions if he would cast the parts up for me he said when he moved he misplaced them and can’t find them. He never did get back to me if he found them who knows where they are now. The back date parts include Radiator, Hood, and Wheels that I can remember. Good luck getting them now.

I would really like to join in the BRBO if it is still possible. I have recently acquired a GMC General kit and some decals for the Knight Rider Rig and Trailer.
Yes you can join in at anytime. Sounds like a great build I was thinking about that truck the other day. Glad to have you join us.

Thanks Joe for the complement. I also run a HO layout as well plus build these model sometimes I wonder if I have enough breath to finish them. I retired last year from driving a Tractor Trailer of 33 years I was the 4th Generation to drive in my family. I don’t miss it either it’s not fun anymore with the drivers these days and the trucks they run.

Tony(Tcoat) and I were on the same track (see above) as to thinking about taking a section out of the front axle ends so that the axle hub end would not protrude from the front wheel/tire assembly. Today I decided to go with that idea instead of my above post idea of using a washer as a spacer. It would be a snap to do the fix, right?? Well, yes, in a way, though I spent a little time thinking the steps through first because I certainly didn’t want to ruin the kit axles. Follow through the photos and you can see that the effort turned out well. Thanks again, Tcoat, for inspiring me to return to this initial idea. 👌🙂
Items used to do the work:
1). I have a sample piece of floor Oak that I find very useful in my shop. In this case I was able to hold the kit axle securely to the wood for measurements and as a guide for the Zona saw when making the axle cuts.
2). A fine tooth Zona saw.
3). Tape
4). Metal scale
5). Graphite pencil
6). Patience; go slowly when making the cuts through the axle ends.
Joe
Wish I’ve done that to mine

Joe if you want I can post a few of mine I’ve built and put on my O Scale layout? I’ve built them for years maybe the will help

New Kit From Round 2 - AMT 1963 Ford F100 Styleside (Unibody) with Camper Top
in Truck Kit News & Reviews
Posted · Edited by Pete68
Here you go. I bought this at the 1989 Fall Model Show/Swap meet in St. Louis Missouri I just turned 21 years old. It was missing the Instructions some one made copies of them there not the best. Check out the date on the Newspaper I wrapped the Camper glass in to protect it. I’ll never forget buying this truck because it was so rare even back in 1989.
