Dodge L-700 stake bed
leafsprings2 replied to Sam I Am's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Suspension system looks similar to the Reyco type used on the WF DD. I'm thinking Garwood refuse body🙂 -
Kenworth 925 - Strato models
leafsprings2 replied to carsntrucks4you's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Nice to see one of these Stratos, one of the best engineered kits out there. Great job on the vintage KW, color combo looks very 50's. -
ISO a '57 Ford F100 Truck Grille
leafsprings2 replied to bobss396's topic in Truck Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Right, a great conversion kit to a '57. Just a grill change won't work, hood, fenders and bumper used are completely different than that of a '60. Hopefully we see a '58 and '59 conversion kit from Best Model Car Parts also, because we won't see it from AMT. -
Resin Wishlist
leafsprings2 replied to leafsprings's topic in Truck Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Back in the day wide base steel wheels and 12-16.5" tires were popular with camper pickups, usually just used on rear only with standard narrow wheels on front. Fireball has some wide 9.75" 8 lug 16.5" wheels (fronts and rears) and 12-16.5" HIGHWAY tires, another wish has come thru. Great for use with the AMT Ford F 350 Super Camper Special kits and of course the Moebius '67-'72 series. Thanks Fireball! -

1967 Freight Shaker
leafsprings2 replied to J.B. Customs's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Beautiful build, you captured the look and feel perfectly. Not easy to do this conversion, you have my respect, I've been begging for a resin mid 60's freightliner cab for years for us lower skilled builders. What did you use for the fender lip? -
Finally finished this vintage tanker project, used the Frontier resin Ford cab and Keystone resin single axle tanker. Both resin pieces required some putty work and reworking. Engine is a C series 534, trans is a KW 5 speed, frame used was shortened GMC Astro.

Big Truck Gas straight 6
leafsprings2 replied to 1st 700 Quad's topic in Truck Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
This topic came up a while back, IMO, the Mack R685 engine appears to have the right dimensions of a big 6 gas job. -
Very nice conversion to single rear axle, single stack and single headlights. Door mounted mirrors and Freightliner 22's look great. Detail work is superb! Nice intake manifold, what kit was that from?
