Ford with an IH grill added??

Glad I could help, just checked out the updates. Wow that is fantastic detail, going to be amazing when he is finished. Let me know if you need any more information. The right hand side at the front of the frame has the parts of the gear shift mechanism as well which is what the other rods in the photos are for as seen in the photos of the red day cab truck.

Payload is the general reason for having twin steer set ups.

And some photos of the trucks these steering set ups are on.

Also some scans from a New Zealand truck magazine of a road test of a 525HP sleeper cab 8x4 Ultraliner. The steering box is mounted inside the chassis rail (right hand drive) and under cab air intakes were an option as well as verticle intakes mounted behind the cab and the same with exaust. These were verticle behind the cab or under chassis mounted.

the KFS twin steer kit is a nice set up but not as accurate as these guys are after. They are very different set ups.

Hi, the 2 trucks in the pictures are here in New Zealand, the black one V8 powered and the other now has a series 60 Detroit under the cab. Post your email address or contact me on twb11@xtra.co.nz and I can send you some photos I took of a twin steer set up on one the same. It is of course right hand drive being a New Zealand version (also same as the Australian version). I can also send some scans of a road test and photos from a truck magazine from here in New Zealand as well. The twin steer Ultraliner was popular here in sleeper and day cab form.

Hi all, has anyone modified the Astro/Titan to lower the cab to the correct height above the chassis? How much does it need to be lowered by and what methods have been used? Cheers Tony.

Fantastic work, that is one very nice build of the old GMC.

Trans would possibly be aluminium, didnt this kit come with the auto?

Nice!!

Very nice, love the day cabs.

As far as I know its a Cat 3406A in that kit.

Looks like the Australian Kenworth K104 Cab from Auslowe. I have one and its a nice conversion.

The trailer is to short to look like a real road train, most are around the 45 scale feet area, the draw bar is a little short as well. Auslowe sell a dolly that is a good version of the proper dolly. Sorry a can`t help with a scale length, maybe a search of trailer manufacturers in Australia may help.

Hi, the steering box needs moved for the right hand drive and the windscreen wipers changed over as well as these are both still set up for left hand drive in the kit.The round and square head lights were an option so both are ok to use. The spoked wheels supplied are not great so use the disc wheels or source some aftermarket wheels. These changes will get you closer to a real Australian spec version along with adding the rear fenders. Cheers Tony.

Nice build, they always look good painted like that. A real classic Kenworth.

Very nice, you have some serious talent with the resin.

Thats probably the best build of that conversion I have seen, fantastic work.

Most model manufacturers of truck kits forget to change the wipers to the right hand drive position when they do a right hand drive version. It is usually an easy job to correct the fault with some filler and a dremel type tool. Thanks Tony.
