hey dave i got a couple from "porky" eric at p&p vintage, they real nice. he has more than whats on his web site. lol he just behind on his updates for the site. http://www.ppvintagekits.com goodluck dennis

wow!!! another great biuld tim dennis

you can find them on evilbay but they are still gonna cost you a bunch of money. anybody that is a biulder isnt gonna wanna give them up. lol and if you do find a glue bomb....... good luck lol!! like i said the 2 that im workin on right now were train wrecks, and the customizing im doing has got me putting alot of hours in them due to cracks and glue mess/meltdown. you can see them if you scroll through look for 4070 gluebombs. any way i can help ya out i will, i do have a few extra parts , so when you do get goin and ya need something just drop me a private mess or email and ill check see if i got what ya need. good luck on a great biuld dennis

eric at p&p vintage has the day cabs for sale now, and he might have the sleeper cabs done also if not then he will soon. they complete cabs just need a donor chassis. im biulding 2 myself- 1 day cab single drive and 1 custom double bunk both out of glue bomb train wrecks lol. good luck dennis

a guy name ryan makes great long frames, i believe i payed $10 for a 24" heavy duty channel plastic frame. his email is rhino9904@yahoo.com tell him dennis or cowboysevens sent ya. he also has other custom truck parts, he does nice work top notch! good luck dennis

hello leroy and welcome to the forum, you came to the right place if your biulding model semi trucks. and to answer the question about grain trailers, yes i have seen a few of them biult. the easiest way i think is to take a dry box van and cut it down, then make your hoops and tarp system for the top. good luck and keep us posted please dennis

black beuty is lookin good, nice job jim dennis

hello there keith and welcome to the best model truck forum around!! hope the line haul with conway treats you good, im sure you will have just about any question you can think of answered here, also good place for trading parts and ideas. dennis

hey jerry, maybe you could organize a " million model march " on the front lawn of paccar, lol that would definately make the news and put them in a awkward position, we can head strait over to cat after that!! lol dennis

that is a good lookin truck, great job on restoring it and the paint looks fantastic!! dennis

yeeeeeee haaaaaaaaaw!!!! we got a peterbilt cabover woooo hooooo!!!! ill be talking with you eric dennis

heres an update on the daycab, got 2 coats of gloss white on it. heres the sonic pearl blue that will cover just the grill top/bottom, the molding strip will stay white all the way down and around the cab. the white stripe is gonna be wide from bottom of door to the bottom of the round part of cab all the way to about 6" from the down angle of the front molding (holding the same angle)and maybe the top of cab. sorry for the bad photos, they takin with my scratched up phone as i dont know how to put pics on the computor yet, lol.

lmao!!! im purdy sure the wife would boot me to the barn if i did that, lol i can just cut back on my beer allowance or somethin else. dennis

OUCH!!! now thats pricey model biulding, my wife would probly make me move into the barn i spent that much on each one.lol dennis

well im gonna have to wait till november to get mine caus eill be in south africa all of october, and i wont have any access to the net. ehobby has them listed for $53. i bet the price goes down after a few months, lol i hope anyway. dennis

lol ya know i feel the same way, however by the time we buy paint and all the lil extra goodies even a $30 truck cost ya almost $100 after its biult if you go extreme customs like tims and the other big modelers out there. ill probly be $100 into that double bunk im biulding, yigidy youch that hurts to say!! lol

lol well what ever color it is , its gonna look good under that k-whopper. im biulding a daycab 4070 international and im painting it sonic pearl blue with white stripes and wasnt sure of the frame color yet, i wonder how that would look under mine. hmmm dennis

i see hobbylink dropped there price down now that myatomic is advertising them. atomic has them for $29 and the KW 123 for $30. lol i guess they were not gonna be undersold were they! thats good for us biulders
