Sam thanks for posting that pic I have a few of those kits. That truck must have a 312 engine in it he has a hammer in his hand I know I wanted many of times I wanted to take a hammer to my 1959 Ford 1ton it had a 312 in it gas eating boat anchor.

Nice progress. What kinda engine is that going to be a 903 Cummins? Vince I have some many doner frames it’s crazy but thanks for the offer. I might start that old Time DC one day soon

Looking good I like the latter frame I’ve built many of these old Athearn Freightliners. I still have the very first one I got it was a Time-DC I got it in 1981-82 I think. Since we can post 1/87 Trucks here guess I will have to rebuild it and post it.

Looks good straight out of the box I also like that red engine when I was a younger my neighbor bought one of these old CF Freightliners it had a 903 cummins in it that he need for his 1975 White Road Boss and it was red I always wondered why it was red instead of beige. I finally found out later why. Your doing a great job

This is a Sylvan Model’s GMC Crakerbox that I Hand Painted and decaled and added some different front spoke wheels. The trailer is a RTR Athearn 40’ exterior post.The pic was taken on my layout

This is a old Lee Town Autocar kit I built back in 1998 and I Custom painted and decaled this old Yatming container about 3 years ago. The pics are on my HO layout

Who ever done the scroll work and the feature strip( small black stripes) is outstanding

Brian I took it out of the KW123 kit going to put the oil slinger in the Cabover KW. I did notice one thing I have to do is move the filters down on the block being this is in a conventional

I decided to put a 370 cummins in this with a 13 speed tranny I also painted the tank bands with a chrome pen.

Looking good I’ve built 1/87 for year till my eyes starting going bad and arthritis got in my hands. So we can post 1/87 truck models here also?

Here’s a truck I’ve been working on on and off for a couple years now. I would like to finish it soon. The front five Alcoa wheels are from Don Mills that I Customized the rear are New Ray the decals were custom made for me several years ago. Enjoy the pics.

Thanks and yes I will paint it a grime wash after I paint it Tamiya nato black

Thanks Brian it was so cold that day I took the Frostways truck pic I think it was about 5 degrees with a lot of snow that was about 9 yrs ago

Thanks Brian. I got the rear wheels on tires were sanded I kept one set off so you can see the chain drive before I glue it I also painted the seat and floor pan

Yes it will have a lowboy don’t know what load will be

Thanks Jim it’s a pretty fun build so far. I will have update soon

Yes those mirrors were awful. I still have several of these trucks left I plan to build some day

Here’s a few Ulrich Mack’s I build several years ago. I upgraded them with some Athearn wheels and stacks from there B models

This is a Don Mills Models Mack FK kit I bought from Don about 12yrs ago and thought it was time to build it. This is what I’ve got done so far.

This started out as a corgi Mack B61 I strip down and repainted it and added a tow body to it plus some 1/25 Decals

Your truck is looking very good. I have several of these there great kits I’ll post one almost done when I get the bench caught up

Beautiful out come its amazing what we can do with these old kits you did a great job.also nice rigging on the shovel

Get the LeeTown if you can it was the first one made the molds were wore out when Alloy forms/jaks got them they redone the fenders and made them to wide also Lee town has the diamond plate on top of the fender.

Spot on Brian! Great work turned out beautiful.

Thanks Brian. it’s so much fun building it. Hope you guys don’t mine me sharing my 1/48 trucks and trailers with you I have a lot more to come.
