    There are some serious build going on right now. Whatever you do i cant wait to see it i bet its gonna be epic. I have two i cant wait to start, one is a Autocar dumptruck im gonna make a replica of a wrecker i grew up around and i have a revell extended hood A model dump truck.

    Im not gonna lie i cant stop looking at the side shot with the hood open 🤣. Idk how i pulled it off, but i love how its turning out.

    Wow Gary lovin these builds you have going. A 1693 cat, a twin turbo 475hp 855 cummins or kt Cummins would be big power for the era and right at home with that 67-72 359.

    Thanks bud yeah the 48" stretch has the perfect gap from the drives to the sleeper. Hope to get more chassis work done this week.

    So i picked up a Merc. On ebay and some really sweet frame stretch pieces from ModelTruckBuilder.com now i gotta pick a frame length. I think i like the 48" stretch the best the other two are a 24" and 60"...im also rethinking the spokes on the back. Might go with a set of chrome 2 hole wheels instead.

    Yeah im not sure ill have to look up that video. If its got a serious lope ide say your right about having a kta under the hood. Visor and roof lights look sweet 👌👌😎

    Thats a great idea and great job looks fsctory. Im still holding out for a AITM Mercury, but might end up doing something similar.

    Just seen this. Another bad A model Jeremy just had built not that far from me. Thats really cool you know the black A model personally. Theres a few pretty iconic trucks i grew up around that are still around, and every time i see them its like seeing an old friend.

    Beautiful build man👌👌. I remember watching watching Chris' cb interview with that truck. Love the trailer you have aswell.
  12. Jimbo8v92

    Forgot the visor 😎

    Put a metal steerable front axle under it. Got a nicer set of wheels and made some engine and trans mounts.
  15. Jimbo8v92
    Same here, looking for one aswell for my R Model. Hope the AITM deal actually happens this time.

    Looking for one of the mercury sleepers Dave offered. Hope everythings still a go for the reopening
  17. Jimbo8v92
    Thanks! Yeah its well overdue lol. Thats a great backup plan, but recently hearing aitm will be back i think i might hold out for one of Daves Mercury sleepers.

    Rear suspension is in just need to trim down the rear drums to bring the wheels in. Still need to order front tires and ill have a rolling chassis.
  19. Jimbo8v92
    No not at all thankyou. Pictures are the best way if you ask me.
  20. Jimbo8v92
    Ah ok i gotcha. That makes sence. There is a whole lot crammed in a tiny area there lol.
  21. Jimbo8v92
    Wow incredible job!!! Idk if its just mocked up for now,but the front axle backing plates are on the wrong side. Brake chambers are behind the axle facing rearward not infront facing forward. Love those bridgestones btw i have a set i got prob 6 years ago lol.. think im gonna put them on the A model KW Dump i just got.
  22. Jimbo8v92
    No worries man. Doesnt bother me.
  23. Jimbo8v92
    Wow your detail is beyond incredible. I have a few pictures of a 379 ive been doing some side work on. Heres a shot with the side cowl and lower panel off.

    No not at all thankyou. Pictures are the best way if you ask me.
