Like I and other's have said, he's busy. There's more people than just one that has order's in.
I understand, just excited. And I know he’s busy. I guess I was just hopeful to get mine in before the deadline. As is the case with most resin, if I see it, I try to buy it right away. I will wait until April and try again. No disrespect to him or his business ?

I was poking around on his web site yesterday and he was stating that he wasn't taking additional orders at this time as he was trying to take care of back orders. This may account for the slow response to EMails at this time.
I sent my order before the deadline, unfortunately.
-
I’ve sent him 2 emails via the address on his site but no response.

How long does it normally take to hear back from Chief Joseph?
-
Great set up!
-
Will be buying the 935.

Received the cab in good condition! Thank you so much @Pete68

How does this paint look? I’m struggling to get a nice smooth gloss finish. This is Tamiya gloss red thinned almost 1:1

I don’t even read these threads too often anymore, they make me sad. I appreciate all of you that are optimistic and or just glad (like me) that we have kits issued again. I dislike whenever a video is posted and someone feels the need to complain how they won’t be buying anything. Who cares. I like the videos. I’m excited for each kit even if I don’t buy it.

I have this kit about 3/4 done. I ditched the bed and have a service truck bed on mine. This required cutting the frame to make it longer and trimming off a bunch of stuff.
As for the front spring, they are bad, but not as bad as you think. The factory springs on all square body trucks (Front 4x4) were reverse arc and only 2 leaves. I have a 90 Suburban and they look just like the kit springs.
Interesting! I’ve only been around GMT400 trucks so haven’t seen too many straight axle trucks. Thanks for the info! Feel free to post photos of yours.

Washed a kit and assembled an engine on the AMT White Freightliner. I like how vague the parts and instructions are on these old semi kits.

My favorite generation of 911! Very cool build. It’s hard to believe it is only your 3rd model. You look like an old pro!

Hey I have a extra parts you need if you want them to make the day cab still. I’ll send them to you if you want
PM sent, that would be mighty kind of you!

Well I bought the wrong kit. I thought the dual drive kit with the yellow and brown truck had the day cab in it as well. I will be changing it up and building the sleeper version I guess. Don’t want to buy another kit.
-
Wow this whole kit is pretty vague. It’s got the optioned dual tank bed but only one tank... on the passenger side. I think I might scrap the frame and make it a 2wd truck on air. So much for a slump buster.
-
Thank you for all the interest. I’m going to wash up the trees tomorrow and maybe even start on it. Going to order some wheels and tires from Danny at Scenes Unltd.
-
Going to replicate this! But I might make mine a bit more stubby.
-
Well the leaf springs on this thing are a joke. I started making new ones.
See how terrible these are?!
-
This will be my slump buster. Going to build it mostly box stock, probably no Baja bar or step bars. I also got a new building area with excellent lighting.
-
i hope it is not too late to join. I would like to submit a White Freightliner day cab dual drive for my build. It is new in box, don't have any photos right now.
‘57 Chevrolet half ton pickup truck
in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Posted
I's thumbin' through the want ads in the Shelby County Tribune when this classified advertisement caught my eye. It said, "Take imme-di-ate delivery on this '57 Chevrolet half-ton pickup truck. Will sell or swap for a hide-a-bed and thirty-five bucks. Call One-four-oh, ring two, and ask for Bob."
Started on a new project while I wait for paint for my GMC. I was inspired by C.W. McCall and his song “Classified.” So I figured I would build what the old truck might have looked like. I even have a Brillo box full of rusty parts. Wheels are from the AMT 57 bel air. I always envisioned the truck in the song being a burnt out orange color that had faded over time.
