  1. When they are available, they will be on my web site.
  2. More progress!! Slowly crossing things off the list on this one. Got the grill into first prime. And the door panels into primer. I'm down to a center console, dash, windshield, and finishing the right quarter fender! And then on to finishing the Prosleeper!!
  3. Looks good Mark! I had forgotten you had that one!
  4. That is the FIRST Lonestar delivered. Some where I have the press release picture of the keys being handed over. Doug is a good friend of mine, and a Midland driver. He shot that just after it was put into service.
  5. Two states??? How about two countries??? I've got close to 100 back in my parents basement in Toronto, and at least another 75 here in Iowa.....
  6. I believe I got one off of you on Ebay... Its why I started building the "I"series and non "I" series masters.....
  7. Try building a Lonestar online.... http://www.internationaltrucks.com/mytruck/
  8. Very cool!!! Been admiring it on another forum. Looks "just right" The weathering is outstanding!!! You might want to add the front tow loop thru the front bumper. It was standard issue on a Paystar
  9. That part was taken from "Navistar Model News" that David Palmeter (7000in5th) was involved in. To my knowledge, Pinecrest never got the 9400 produced. I was on a waiting list for a couple of them. Most of the Piecrest stuff was nice for the time, But there were a couple of "discrepencies" in them when compared to the real truck. It didn't stop me from ordering at least one of everything they offered!! Most noticable the headlights were too small. Marks 9600 cab over is a really nice piece also, just a little thick, like most early resin cabs. I spent alot of money thru NMN!!!
  10. House moving maybe? Hooking up and disconnecting to get the house off of the cribbing?
  11. I've looked at the literature, but, I haven't had a chance to scan it. I can tell you that it doesn't have many hood dimensions. It has some pictures, that you can guesstimate from. I'll try to get it scanned tomorrow. I do have an extra grill. Drop me a pm with your address, and I'll drop it in the mail.
  12. I think I posted a shot of the crew cab in one of my other posts, so here it is. Been slowly working on it and my other projects, just been working a WHOLE bunch this week!!
  13. I should have one...somewhere....let me look.
  14. Yes Chucky, it is the same cab (sort of) as used on the light line. The crew cabs used the standard "low" roof, and the standard cab had a "raised" roof top. All of my measurements have come off of a 65 1100 crew cab pick-up. As far as a time line. The ALF will be very soon, and I'm guessing the 9400I will be next, then the Prosleeper, and the Loadstars.....of course its subject to change at will!!
  15. It could be a 210, or a 230, dependant on how heavy it was built. It would have a sufex "D" it it was diesel, and a prefex "F" if its a tandem. These were replaced by the Paystar.
  16. Hey Eric, just so you know before you do it, check this out. Don't want to see you do something that is already out there.... http://sourkrautsmodeltrucks.com/?page_id=3&category=2&product_id=207
  17. Forgot to add this one last night. final prime on the left side of the Prosleeper. I will hopefully be adding rivet detail this weekend.
  18. I have some of the Archer rivets that I will be tring on my Prosleeper, hopefully this weekend. I'll let you know how they turn out!
  19. Sourkrauts has some of Daniels parts pictured, but I believe Daniel has them listed on a photo site. I'm sure he will post the link. I'll second that he has great parts! Always fast turn around, and great quality!!
  20. Yeah, I have an engineering book from IH on it. They moved the front axle foreward 18", the grill was mounted to the rad, so, it remained stationary when the hood tilted. I copy some pics and post them.
  21. Forgot about DOT applications! There were alot use on railways for crew trucks also....
  22. Thats a SFA Paystar, with a "weight-watcher" fiberglass hood.
  23. Been a while for an update, but here goes! First, here is an ALF Eagle raised roof that is just about done! Here is the first test pour. With the cab will be included a set of interior panels to add some detail to the sides of the cab. These panels will be available seperatly, for those that are building a standard Trumpeter cab. The only modification that will be required will be to shorten the rear "post" area. Second is the Loadstar project. Thinking of the fire department applications first, I've been working on a travel-crew cab as the first cab.
  24. IIRC, Spauldings used to have a day cab conversion. I have one somewhere... I think it was done by Hendrix?
