Yes it is a monster. I think I'm going to use the DM800 frame with the hard bar suspension. Although they never had it back then I don't think but it plays the part. The resin frame keeps bowing on me and I'm not a fan of resin frames. I did get some paint on the cab and hood also. Enjoy the pics

Thanks guys anytime Jim The bed is from the italeri freightliner I got it with some parts about 15 years ago.

Yes they are, the rear tires the "point" goes forward and the fronts were optional. I have mine fronts reversed like a motor grader for better steering and control

I bought this late summer of this year from AITM been working on it a little this winter enjoy the pics

Alexis you or someone will have to build my truck I have no interest in building it the way it is now. I'm the second owner of this truck. I plan on building it when it was bought new. The owner took the spokes off and re-painted it there company colors which it is now. Don't get me wrong I like the colors and paint scheme. If any you guys want to build my truck I will give you colors numbers . The truck is so much like the model it's hard to believe. Glad you guys enjoyed the pics Lee

I don't know I think my REAL 1.1 Autocar A64B looks good with chrome wheels

Beautiful truck! you did a great job, like mike said just in time for winter.

Thanks guys! It's 28 not 33yrs man I'm showing my age

I was cleaning some of my old model trucks today and thought I would post this old International 4200 Transtar I built back in 1989 It has a few missing parts but has held up good for its age. The paint was a new Testors color they just came out with along with some blues, golds and reds I don't think model master was marketed yet that was 28yrs ago. I do remembering taking my time on this one because it cost me so much money. I bought it at the St. Louis model show back when there was no EBay or things of that kind if you were like me you waited every year for the Model show swap meet and hope you find something good. Hope you enjoy the pics

Thanks JT for the kind words I know my brother would appreciate it, He's not much on social media that's why I post his builds. He was kind enough to give me some of these awesome builds that he built when he was a kid.

Your welcome gator. Talented he was and still is have you ever seen his resin conversion kits? The Pete 379, 358 hood and Kenworth 900L can't believe he's almost 60 years old now I've enjoyed many years building model truck across the table from him and sharing his awesome modeling tools. I cherish every time I visit him because we are both getting older.

Thanks guys I'm sure Bill has read your replays. I have a couple more trucks Bill has gave me from his child hood I will post in the future.

This is a truck my brother Bill built back in 1971-72. Thought it would be neat to post for the re- release of the Kenworth 925. He custom built the grain trailer and our grandmother helped him sew the tarp. It's missing some parts but still looks good for its age. Bill was 11yrs old when this truck was built. I always enjoyed watching his magic on these truck and I still do today.

Great Looking Pacemaker I like those rear tires and paint job

Here's some pics of a 1/32 scale monogram/ revell snap-tite 1981 Freightliner Conventional i've been working on for about a year on and off I hope to have a this thing finished soon

Jim both trucks are in the same work class they both where light duty delivery type trucks you could order the white 3000 in different weight classes up to a heavy duty diesel type,

Thanks guys yes that's a dodge L700 chassis and it's a jimmy flintstone cab I'll get some pics of the interior I used the dodge l700 with a later dash White change this dash about 3 times I think

Thought I would post some update pics of the White 3000 I've been working on.

Best wishes Big Brother! It was a fun ride. Life's to short to concentrate on material things. Have fun and enjoy life Lee

Very nice looking 4200 I like your wheels and tires great job so far

Thanks guys

Gator thanks yes I'm going to paint the wheels just a mock up till I get some wheels and tires from AITM there was a truck that was like this that sat at a sawmill about 60 miles from my house always wanted to build it

starting to look like a "V" liner

Thanks guys here's the interior pic

Here's a start to a Mack DM 600 steel hood that I'm working on. The dump bed I made from a fruehauf dump trailer the cab is it A I T M. I sanded the top of the cab down and re formed it a little bit and sanded off the Mack letters in the front and retro them with the smaller ones the year 1966-72. Enjoy the pics
