nice box stock build just the way I like to build em. Very clean build great job!

Ben very nice this is a beautiful truck! Bill told me you about it today. Bill talks about you now and then "all good" lol though now that I know who you are I'll be watching for your post I'm still new here.

thanks guys

Here's a Diamond Reo Tri-Alxe Dump truck I built back in the early 90s when amt Re-realesed the truck. I took it to Kansas City and won 3rd place with it at the Cowtown Nationals it was a fun build. The dump bed was a Ertl gravel trailer I cut down and used. The third axle suspension on the truck was also used from the same kit. Front flotation tires where's use from the Autocar Enjoy the pics

nice I like it when our models still look good after all the passing years. Nice job

Terry yes those wheels are from the fire truck I like them better because they're actually a Mack 6 spoke wheels thanks. Can't wait to get started but in trying to decide on a good east coast color.

I got this resin cab and wheels in yesterday from AITM thought I would build this into a heavy Hauler enjoy the pics

Nice K 123 Little Audreys is one of my favorite reefer lines also like the wigwag. Great job and a nice clean build

Update

Terry I finally got the pic to load hope this helps

Nice work terry Not to tell you how to built that chassis but to give you some help if you would move those boster pin locks back to the rear and the front ones to the first cross member it would help that way you can be even with the dock I've pulled these for years. I've tried to load some pic of some we have on our yard I took last year but it won't let me

I did I posted it the other day thanks for having me I posted it in big rigs on the work bench it's a 1/43 Pete with a reefer old school kit

Sadly this is all I got finished 1/43 iron nose Pete on a AMT Pete 359 frame

thanks guys and thanks for having me I will try to get some progress pics soon. I always liked these smaller kits

Here’s one I’ve been working on for a few years.

tbill am I to late to enter the TAT??

Gator I didn't paint the truck just the rest it was already painted thanks. Here's a pic of the interior. I did paint it

Here's my new ray Peterbilt 350 mounted on AMT California Hauler frame. Parts use from the kit was visor front wheels, front bumper. I re-worked the air cleaner and detailed interior enjoy the pics

Tom thanks for the advice, After I thought about and look more at the dodge engine I started to change my mine thanks for the push in the right direction. Lee

Jim I like it . The V8 cat is a good change up. Nice work on the dash too

Yes they were very poplar back then. My grandpa almost bought a new back then, it was a diesel had a triple nickle cummins in it.

Brian this looks like it's going to be a good project I like those old Japanese freightliners. Roadway had some these trucks orange on top blue on the bottom where the fenders are in the headlights.Yale had some of these lyons lines, Chippewa, East Texas motor freight, Campbell 66 had some jerry@modeltrucking.com sells those decals some if you need some pics let me know I have a lot of pics of this truck with the different LTL companies. Roadway express Ran mostly sleepers of this truck like you have in your pics. Hope this helps.

Thanks guys going good so for. Terry that's what we'll call it a high mount. I've seen that same pic. I was looking around and found this I'm going to try to convert the dodge engine into a white mustang V8

Thanks guys. I think I might leave it like it is I've already lowered it a lot. I might put skirts on the fenders and put a Diesel engine in it. I don't know just yet, I never liked them sitting low anyway.
