This truck was completed in 1997, when I was 19 and in a diesel mechanics program, but I've moved around a few times since, so this truck has suffered. I haven't been modeling much since then. I take my kits with me in the truck, so my models actually rack up miles, LOL. . Of course, every time I get started, I have to box the kit back up. I just never sat still long enough. So wish me luck.I hope to have it rebuilt before Christmas. This was definately my favorite model, as I was able to put all I had learned at the time into the truck. And I had plenty of late 60's and early 70's truck to study while I did it. Well, that and I love Autocars. This is the Autocar Dump Truck chassis, which was built to pull AMT's peerless log trailer. It had a Black cab with the kit stripes. I'm keeping the color scheme, and I'm converting it into a dump tractor as I go. A tri-axle Fruehauf is going behind it. Feel free to leave comments or suggestions. Thanks for looking, and good luck on all your projects. Being part of a forum is new to me, but this should make it more enjoyable.

The tutorial would be great. The 352 is my favorite old cabover. love the looks of your truck.

Here are some photos of my last truck, a Peterbilt 379-127 with an N14 Cummins engine. I hope these help. both sides of the engine are included. This is a 1999 model. i got 3 1/2 good years out of this truck. Good luck. If you want more pix, feel free to ask.

You have some serious talent!!!!!! Good job!
