I like it seated and watching

Jeff. Thanks I’ve seen a few A64B dump trucks mostly are DC64.

Jeff. Thanks for the complement it’s been a fun build. I’ll have a update on a couple days. When I bought the real truck I asked what color green was that the owner said it ford jade green I matched it with Dupicolor rattle can Enrico. Welcome to the forum and thanks for stopping by and the complement

Dan. Thanks that’s a good idea I just might have to do that

A little mock up

Thanks Dan I had some on my other phone but it crash I have some I took years ago but I’ll have to dig them out. With that Autocar it’s kinda hard to see because of the butterfly hood. I appreciate the help I might try another run at it. I have a 352 Pete day cab single axle I need to finish it’s almost done if you want I can post you a pic of it

Daniel. I’m kind stumped on my 290 Cummins in my Autocar I’m building although I owned the real truck seems like I just can’t get it the way it’s supposed to look so I may just build it as a 350 or 370. Your doing great on this build

Nice plumbing

A little more work done last night now for the paint

Dan. Thanks for the complement going to get some more done on it tonight Geoffrey. Thanks for stopping by and the complement. I hated to sell my truck last Fall but with my physical condition I couldn’t keep it looking the way it should look so I sold to a guy who’s going to keep the old girl in shape and take her to truck shows like I did.

Like that interior it’s starting to shape up to nice truck

Worked on the frame last tonight got the front half done now moving to the back

Carl. Thanks for the complement I really need to get back on this it is a nice truck I think I have a plan to fix that cab to set level.

Jeff thanks also for the extension I know I haven’t gave any updates for months and I I know I’m probably disqualified but that’s ok I still want to finish my build I mostly joined for the fun to build with the guys.

Thanks Dan. Thought I would tidy this one up while taking break from the Titan

Bed has been mounted on now for the details

Thanks. I got one Friday very nice

Worked on the truck a little

This is a old AMT Autocar DC I’ve had for about 16yrs always undecided what till make till last winter. I decided to make it a Dump truck. I took my brother Bill’s old bed he gave me back around 1986 and re-do it. Bill bought a new AMT Autocar Dump Truck when it first came out in 1972. He painted the neighbors fence to buy it of course I helped I was 3yrs old. The cab shied and front was bad so Ireplaced it with a Ertl one I had. Here’s somepics of the bed and truck in progress. 

Thanks I might take a small break from this First to re group

Tom. Thanks for the complement I was fighting with the interior yesterday to make it fit I don’t remember the interior being so difficult. I have to make some more adjustments for the cab to set lower I was ready to give up on this but I’ll try to take another try at it

Looking good Brian. Never noticed the third tank till you got some paint on it very nice touch. I’ll tell Bill to peak in and have a look

Thanks for the complement Brian. I rode in one these one time I back in the 1990s I was a little scared at first felt like I was going to fall face first out on the highway

Thanks Brian thought they were the same a old International dealership guy told me they were the same

Yes I wish they would too. I remember my dad getting the heavy duty truck magazine in the early 80s and those Peterbilt with the white walls ads will be on the back of the magazine cover
