I posted this build I did in the Welcome! Introduce Yourself thread when I first joined . I thought I would move it over here . I based it on AMT's Ford Louisville kit and a resin Dodge D-700 crewcab I found on Ebay. I used the frame from the AMT kit and stretched it and used the kits front and rear axle. I used the engine out of the Lindberg Dodge L-700 to represent the 413 Dodge truck engine. I added the air brake compressor from the V-8 Cat from the Ford kit for the air brakes.Scratchbuilt the fuel tanks from Plastruct diamond plate .I used and modified the interior parts of MPC's 78 Dodge pickup .That resin cab was pretty rough and wonky ,thought it came out decent. The Roadrunner is an AMT kit I did about 30 years ago. I included a picture of the truck I loosely based it on

IH Transtar 4300 converted to a 4200
Scott Eriksen replied to k100's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Looks great!!! I aways liked the snub nose look . All the years of working on trucks ,and a lot of corn binders,,I never saw a 4300 with the IH V-8 ,,usually a Detroit or Cummins .. they make for a sweet looking wrecker -

My Hess tanker truck
Scott Eriksen replied to Scott Eriksen's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
I remember selling them when I worked at the Hess station for $1.69 with the batteries ,,,, but then again we also sold leaded 101 octane @.29 cents a gallon ? -
This was my 1st big truck build after getting back to building a few years ago,,,,,basic AMT Fruehauf tanker trailer and basic AMT White Road Boss with the exception of an Auslowe 8V-71 Detroit Diesel . I worked at the Hess station in Rockaway N.J. while I was in high school ,, Winters Trucking hauled for Hess and I can remember them having Whites ,,,,may have been 9000's not Road Bosses ,,,my memory on that is foggy.I took these pics in my display case ,,the lighting is not that great
