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

Great Build as always KJ. I like how you rusted up those hands on the battery and tool boxes I’ve never seen one yet that wasn’t rusted

Very convincing great looking build

Nice group of Corn Binders

Looks good. Hard to believe this is the same engine the used in the 1468 International tractor

Jim. Thanks for the complement glad you like it

Got the wash done on the grill have to do some chrome touch up on it now

Thanks for the complement Dan.

Thanks for the complement Vince

Work on this interior most of the day

I can’t remember I painted it about 8yrs ago it’s a Mopar color the top is Mopar Stone White
