White Freightliner started

This Engine is identical to the one I had in my real Autocar. Not shown in this pic but my fuel filter was mounted under the pump on the left side of the engine. And you will have to move the dip stick to the right side of the engine that’s where the little red block is this one has no dip stick it’s plugged for some reason -

Need a turbo and move some filters and water lines around and oil cooler the left side of the engine basically stays the same as the 250 with the intake I had one in my “real” Autocar it’s easy -

Here’s one I finished this summer. The frame in the kit was a “Rubber Block” suspension So I used a Monogram Ford aeromax frame with air suspension instead. I also added other parts from 1/32 New Ray Trucks Enjoy the pics

1976 Autocar A64B dedicated to JR
Pete68 replied to Pete68's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Just thought I would give a update on the tribute. I sold my 1.1 Autocar A64b the first week of November. I was in a bad car accident In September that didn’t help my Arthritis I’ve been fighting for years and it seems the accident has made it worse. Saying that I had to realize I can no longer crawl around the old truck and give her the attention she needs. The truck was starting to go down hill fast so instead of letting her rust and rod to death I decided to sell her. She went to a good home and the gentleman who bought her is going to restore her back to the original color and stripe I showed him on the line sheet I gave him. I plan on finishing this build this year and build one from the original line sheet.I had her 19yrs Here’s some pics of our hay days and our last day together. -

Are you using the AMT cal.hauler or the T-501 cal. hauler. You can use the old T-500 for the frame I wouldn’t worry about the front springs they will look fine and you will get a long wheel base look with that frame remember this is a model -
BRBO Kenworth K100
Pete68 replied to KJ790's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
KJ You can never get tired of looking at a K-100 Model I’m not a big KW fan like my brother Bill is but always liked the K-100s Congratulations on your first! Your life will change indeed but for the better kids just makes your marriage compete I think. -
There’s a lot of parts you can use in the Those lindberg Dodge Cab Over kits. You can use the headlights and door handles and the mirrors are correct ones also Petty had the Lindberg Dodge kit type cab lights and air horns. AITM has the “Yankee” type cab lights and 2 single horns. Also you can use the back cab mount that the rear of the cab sits on. Yes I would pick one up. The AITM headlights are ok but I would use the kit ones instead. If it was me I would by the AMT Ford Louisville Coca-Cola city delivery truck like Brian said. AMT also just release not long ago a tandem pull behind trailer that would work well with this truck. If you need some decals I will try to find out who I bought mine from let me know. Hope this helps
