With its large headlights, the Dodge always has a very friendly face. Nevertheless, it remains a nice cabover. And with your model you have set him an extremely handsome monument. Good work!

Hi guys, can someone give me the information for the width and height of the cabin of a Pete 352 and a 362? I am thankful for every hint!

Just stunning!

A truck with character! I like it very much. ? The matt black pipes, sun visor and nameplate above the radiator grille make the vehicle individual and harmonize perfectly with the red and chrome parts. Very tastefull! It is an interesting fact that one of the rarest step variants in reality (only 1972 to 1973 and also not in all units produced during this time) can be seen in the end on almost every model of this great truck.

A nice truck with a very nice color pattern. Really well done!

Many years ago when I was a child yet, I saw a DAF 3300 in my hometown. It was painted metallic brown with gold trim. It was so impressive that I could never forget this truck again. That will probably happen to me with your model too. Great painting!

This is no more model building! That deserves a new word on its own, something like superclasshighendmodelbuilding.

A feast for the eyes! Beautiful Pete.

Clearly a case for a "How-to-build-a-top-truck-model" textbook. Beautiful!

Very detailed! Looks like a real one, great!

Here unusual life experiences and unusual model building skills meet! What else should emerge than an unusual model? Fantastic Work!

Hello again, It was a lot of fun working with you to expand my knowledge. You were practically the key to my Freightliner closure, thank you again for that! Your reference to the license plate brackets is valuable also. I am now working on my table and will present it to you as soon as I am ready. But I've already found something interesting: The Turboliner! Also a "strong" piece ... ☺️ Almost forgotten: do you know the usual cabin lengths of the 61 and 71 series? So far for the 61 I've been able to determine 48 ", 58", 65 ", 72" and 75" since the beginning and then 51", 63", 86", 104" and 96" in the flow of time. Then i read about a 56" cab from which the first conventional WFC cabin is said to have been cut. It remains a mystery to me that because I have not found any information about the introduction of the 56". Could that be a typo?

Sharp photos of a superbly painted COE. Great job!

Steve, thank you again, I know to appreciate these advantages in the forum. But I would like to come back to our previous research results. Based to your hints, I have been able to read with many new search terms in other, previously hidden posts. There it could be seen that the Cab series 61 was the variant of the first tilting driver's cab, while the series 21 was the fixed form accessible from the front as in these photo: Then the construction with the one-piece closed plate under the grill would already be a 61, the perforated plate an indication of the raised 61 and the later wider grill the hallmark of the 71 series. Can you confirm these new information or are you sure that your classification of my original photos is correct? I also found out that there was a "Powerliner" with a huge grill on the (modified) raised 61 cabin for a few years from 1973, also an interesting sight! I also found out that there was a "Powerliner" with a huge grill on the Raised 61 cabin for a few years from 1973, also an interesting sight! Kind regards Torsten

Steve, I am touched that you have taken so much time for my requests. I'm afraid that I will unfortunately never be able to repay you for this, not even with information. You will always know more than I do, because you are lucky enough to have grown up with these great machines. I am all the more grateful for your willingness to share this knowledge with me! That's very friendly.

Thank you both very much for the extensive information about the Freightliner COE. I would certainly never have found out that without your help! Steve, you have drawn my eyes to details that can only be discovered with your incredible knowledge. Special thanks therefore! I think I have to create a table now ... ? Two another questions are following - is cabin 61 simply a little higher compared to 21 due to an extension at the lower edge? And is the radiator inlet of the various series 21/61/71 different in heights and widths? And if so, do you know the measurements?

Done! Thanks for your support!

The Wrecker looks great - good work combining the Freightliner with the wrecker body. Please post some pictures of the steps that you've seen - I can add some notes and history leafsprings MCM Ohana Posted Thursday at 03:31 AM This would be a great topic in the Reference Photo thread. Fender design and steps started to get unpredictable on WF's in the early to mid 70's Ok guys, I'll try to add photos to my question. First we see three vehicles with a round wheel cutout. Wire bracket step in the wheel recess. The next three photos show flattened wheel arches, the entrance step is above the wheel arch. I couldn't find a photo anywhere that shows a round wheel arch with a "cut out" step like this in Could this possibly be a "do-it-yourself"? Do you know more?

I think this will be a very nice custom build. Which wheelbase did you choose for your model?

Definitely one of the most compelling truck models I've ever seen. It is almost impossible to recognize that it is a model and not a real truck. Very very impressive!

Wow, a lot to read! This is definitely a great tip, thank you for that!

I mean valuable information like this:

Incredibly detailed! An overall very lovingly designed truck model. Fun to look at.

This is excellent reference material for me and the scratch building of my own superliner in 1/72. Great model building! And very vivid photos!

Is there really no one who can help me? I am also happy about any other help, drawings or blueprints of other trucks or information as to whether different vehicle components from one manufacturer can also be used for other brands, like Mack has done wwith cabs for Brockway par exemple. For me, every hint is helpful, really everyone! So, thank you very much for your support.
