Bare with me as I am trying to remember an article from November 1990. This comes from that month's issue of Model Railroader. It had an article by Art Curren on called Modifying Athearn's 24 ft trailers in HO scale. If I can get my hands on a copy I will post it. To make a round nose, He basically rounded off the roof and floor at the front. Then, a skeletal frame of styrene strips placed vertically was made to form the basic round shape. After that, a sheet of thin styrene was wrapped around the skeletal round nose frame. Then everything was closed off and detailed. The trailers came as tandem axle 24' trailers in the box, usually wearing railroad names. If anyone can get that article, it has several different mods for these trailers to give them a variety of 1950's styles.You just have to translate everything to 1/24-5 scale Another idea is to use the IMC/Testors/Lindberg van or flatbed. They are 36 feet in length and can be shortened. They are generic enough to work with any 1950s/1960s truck.

He has a Freightliner page, but I saved the pix from his old site where he explains it. I can send you a copy. -
Jerry at modeltruckin.com has a set called Dozer Replacement decals that have the correct markings for this kit.

WOW!!! Nice work!

I really hope this is true. So many versions can be built from this kit, or 2 kits. The tractor is a K123. Look at the steps and grab rails.

Freightliner Frenzy
SpreadAxle replied to PettyKW43's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Tim Ahlborn has pix on his site. Tee main thing is to cut the 1/2 moon shaped bumps for the headlights away from the cab, then lower them. After that, it's a matter of putty work once you get them positioned where you want them. -

Very nice. I really like the modification to the trailer sidewall. It looks nice with the small tires.
