You are welcome my sneaky friend, that’s going to be a beautiful truck. Are you going to put the front chrome hub caps on?

Seems like I’ve seen this paint scheme before. Very nice paint job warren I love the colors

Brian very nice build these U models always look good as a LTL truck and the “tattletale” is a nice touch

Good idea to let it set up specially since it’s a resin cab if you have a hobby lobby near you they have the DM 600 that have those extra round headlights or you can just buy them from Dave there not on his list but he will sell them to you

I was going to use the single headlights from the Mack DM 600 that comes extra with the kit or you can get a hold of Dave at AITM and he will fix you up with some pretty cheap

Warren I don’t blame you I wouldn’t bother it either. What color are you going with?

Warren here’s some pics of mine maybe this will help with the interior and frame

Warren looks good I used the same chassis for mine to get that rear end to sit down put blocks under the front axle. It’s not the rear springs thats the problem it’s the front axle sets to low

Thanks guys I’m just running out of room for my 1/25 trucks and I’ve been wanting to finish this layout thought you guys would enjoy the truck models I’m building for the layout

If no one cares here a few shots all the trucks I built

This is a Don Mills Mack B81 pic are on my O scale layout

Very nice! That is awesome Brian could it be a late 30s Jimmy COE???

Brian put a 4 banger in it with a organ pipe behind the cab LOL ?

Nice looking Big Horn I have a pic of a CNT Dodge I built when I was about 16yrs old I will keep looking for it and post when I find it

Brian thanks it was a fun build Clay. Thanks maybe I’ll surprise you and build one with a big merc on it lol

Very nice Brian I like that little 6-71 in there. My dad’s truck had one in it and that’s how I learned how to drive a truck was on an old 6-71 also really like the colors you have you did a great job on this project

Thanks guys I really like these old 1/48-1/43 kits there a real space saver. Nice pic good old buckingham there’s a great story behind that trailer

This is a old Revell Honest John Kenworth with some Don Mills wheels and air horn. I also added twin sticks and used a chrome pin to doll it up. Trailer is a Lionel enjoy the pics

Thanks Brian it is a very special build to me.

Very nice I’m a big Acar fan my self. Best radiator cap to use is the fuel cap that comes with the kit you can replace fuel cap with some after market ones. If you don’t mine here’s a pic of my with one on it

Thanks guys

Well it’s finaily here the A64B. I’ve had this painted for several years and when I seen the new decal register in the kit I knew exactly the way I was going to build this one. Some day when if I ever repaint my real 1.1 Autocar I thought about this paint scheme. This build is dedicated to my Dad who spent a lot of time helping me to restore my real truck. He got to see it at only one truck show in Paducah KY. after we finished it and then he passed away with cancer. The last picture in this set is of him when we was restoring it. He drove for 43yrs with No accidents And log millions of miles. Truckers that new him around town always called him JR because that’s what he put on his trucks “J.R. Drennen”. So this ones for him enjoy the pics.

Had to take advantage of this beautiful sunny evening

Very nice Brian it turned out great

That jimmy will look good as a single axle. What van lines?
