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?

You will fine the guys on this forum are a great bunch of people very helpful don’t be afraid to ask questions take care I’ll be watching this build

Yes I would keep them light blue or maybe clean and primer that frame and paint the whole thing light blue sorry I hijacked your thread but I thought you would like that idea. Model Trucking.com has all kinds of stripes for your trucks and there’s some guy on eBay that sells big visors also thanks for the complement also.

Always like these big job fords

I like the plumbing looking very smart

Like that color. I just painted a project today similar to your truck

Clay thanks it’s been a fun build I like these wheels also Brain thanks the tires were awfull in this one. The paint is very nice it’s my 3rd can (different colors) of it. I’m sure you will like the power plant I’m going to put in it say tuned.

Brain that dodge is looking good like the paint I’m sure as always you will trick this thing out.

Thanks Jim me too it’s been a very intesting build always wanted to build this truck for years

Got a little more done tonight worked on the interior got it painted still more detail work to on the dash, think I’m going with a single stack and I also clearcoated the battery box to calm the chrome down

Think I’m going to go with the AMT Freightliner wheels also redone the rear crossmember more pics soon

Heres a Revell snap Pete I've been working on I’m calling this one “Identity crisis” because I have added some old-school parts to it also the paint looks different in certain lighting.The parts are a early model right side small tank with step and a left side larger tank and a small bumper this is what I have so far

Can't wait for this truck to get out my 33-year-old Autocar needs a companion

Got some more painting done. Here's a quick mock up

Thanks guys got a lot done to the frame today and it's ready for paint. Enjoy the pics
