American Industrial Truck Models

No, but I will raise the front wheels a little higher for a more "Beefy" look. The wheels and tires are just a mock up for now they are not glued on yet I have some more work to do before I glue them.

Thanks Brain, its a fun build so for very differnent from the run of the mill modern trucks I've built a lot of these Mack's in HO scale

Nice clean built one of my favorite years

I will also be updating the headlights

For many years I've looked at this model kit and finally decided to buy one and put it on Pneumatic Tires. The tires and wheels are from American Industrial Truck Models. I painted it a classic East Coast colors Krylon sweet cream and red pepper red.Hope you enjoy the pics what I have so far.

I've been pulling them for 20 years now if you need some pics let me know

Nice looking 20' chassis great work! Looks like the ones I pull every day here's a pic of my Mack I drive with a 20' set up

Thanks guys it's a fun kit to build I have some update pics, almost done. I tried to match the old Cummins Yellow best I could, hope you enjoy

Thanks guys it was a fun little kit to build especially with all the aftermarket parts. My other one the "Pirkle" is done just need to get some pic of it

Thanks. It a nice easy kit to build and Don Mills has lots of custom parts to make this a great build also

This is a Revell Kenworth 921 close to 1/48 scale Pirkle refrigerated truck I've been working on for about a year hope to get this thing wrapped up soon. Wheels, Tires, Head Lights, Stack, and Sleeper are from Don Mills I chromed the sleeper and polished it and added custom decals hope you enjoy the pics

This is a old Revell Honest John Kenworth I built a couple years ago and thought I would post it. The wheels and tires are from Don Mills, the scale is close to 1/48 one of my favorite scale to build hope you enjoy the pics. I have another one I've been working one and will post it soon thanks Lee

Warren thanks I like the red oil pan and radiator guard that really sets that truck off and the stained side boards one of the best looking box stock I've seen

Good looking old Acar I also have a special place in my heart for Autocars who would think the truck I watched every day go through my town I would some day own it and restore it. Maybe soon AMT will re- lease this beautiful kit you did a great job on it and keep it as long as you can

Nice looking truck been cleaning my old ones up too. I have a 4200 I will be posting next I've had for 30 plus years and my glass turned yellow just like yours but my headlights are ok I like your stripe job

Thanks guys I enjoyed building both 1.1 and 1/25 it was a blessing to have my brother give me some of his early builds also

Thanks guys hope to get this done soon

Thanks guys

It's going to be interesting thanks

I've seen a lot of guys make a day cab out of the Peterbilt 359 snap together so I thought I would give it a try and build one of my favorite Pete's

I cleaned up my old Acar today that Bill gave to me as a model Kit for my Birthday the same year I built my Freightliner a couple years ago he gave me some of his build truck models when he was a kid. Bill built this Acar around 1974 The headache rack and winch where scratch build. The headache rack was made from tree styrene parts some parts both models are missing parts and cannot be found. These trucks are so much like my 1.1 truck that when I was restoring my real truck with my dad it reminded me of the model. Enjoy the pics I have also included pictures of my 1.1 Autocar

Leafsprings jerry at Model Trucking Decals has Willig freight decals for trucks and trailers

My brother "Bill Drennen" taught me at a early age about how to build with out glue globs and clean building. One day I will post some of his early builds that he gave me the talent he has unbelievable I can never build like him I'm a old box stocker if you ever bought one of his resin conversion you know what I'm talking about

Thanks guys great to be here
