    More or less. The White Western Star shares more with the White. The Diamond Reo has more specific components.
  2. Chuck Most
    Forgot- the tires are different as well (if you are talking about the current reissues). The White has Goodyears, the Diamond Reo has Uniroyals.

    As far as the kits go, the hoods, frame rails, fuel tanks, battery boxes, and interiors are different. The Reo has cast spoke wheels on all axles, the White has Alcoas on the front.

    Gary Wallace (GW Trucks) does a hood to do a set back axle DR. If you really wanted to go all fancy pants, said DR could be a Raider...

    If it were mine I'd pair it up with an International Paystar 5000 or a Diamond Reo with a set back axle conversion. Or maybe I'd go with a Ford Aeromax 106 converted to a day cab. But I can't shoot down any of the ideas others have already suggested.

    Trailer's a bit too short for that, but I might have another C-Series tractor kit laying around someplace.

    If you're reading this now you've missed it, but I just saw a re-run of "Call of the Wild Man" on Animal Plan it- in it, the "Turtle Man" removes a colony of rats from an abandoned Crosley wagon.

    Yeah... already used Eddie Murphy's Party All The Time single cover as my avatar... had to mix it up a bit. Either song could be my theme music.

    Dug out a started IMC trailer to pair up with the '59- not sure what I'll stick on the back, probably a junk car or something like that.

    Kind of makes you wonder if somebody in DR's advertising department was a modeler.
  12. Chuck Most
    Yes, you read that right. Stumbled across this last night and thought it was an interesting conversion, to say the least.

    Homemade tractor, with ingredients from a truck? I like it. It seems to happen with some frequency in 1:1.

    I love it! If it had Budd wheels and lacked the Interstate markings it would be an exact duplicate of one I used to see in a local salvage yard.

    The '59 Tractor now has an exhaust setup. Since the L-series mufflers were molded open on the top, and a bit too large to comfortably fit under the C-Series, I cut away the kit mufflers and replaced them with some PVC tubing, "sleeved" inside with K&S aluminum tubing.

    There is an Autocar ACL in resin... thing is it's HO scale, and the mere thought of building anything that small makes my eyes cross. http://www.ebay.com/itm/RESIN-CASTING-1-87-HO-SCALE-1996-AUTOCAR-ACL64B-HOLLOW-CAB-TRUCK-/181160691583 But anyway, thanks for the info guys!

    Just wondering if anyone ever did a transkit - or even just a cab- to do one of these. I think I could rework the AMT Road Boss hood to work even if I could find a suitable cab... assuming there is such a thing out there.

    You're not the only one- I've been looking for good reference photos of just such an animal myself. Even online search results are shockingly few and far between.

    It's called the Vaquero- http://www.trucktrend.com/features/news/2014/163_news140130_1976_ford_f_100_vaquero_show_truck_trend_history/

    I hope to someday finish this thing.
  23. Chuck Most
    Very cool! This is only the second one of these I've seen built up.
  24. Chuck Most
    I don't know if it's still in production, but it was reissued as a Revell kit not too long ago, so you should have no trouble tracking one down.

    Nothing to do with the Sunny specifically, but it is amazing Datsun got a foothold in the Australian market, considering they got off to what could best be described as a rocky start. Scroll down to "The Australian Built Datsun 13"- http://earlydatsun.com/datsun13.html
