Brian, I knew I had a link saved from some time ago just took me a little while to find it !! Good example of the kit being made into an F800 Big Job, fenders lengthened for running boards and wheel openings hogged out: http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/685199-the-first-1-24-scale-big-job-model-is-almost-done.html Rick

Brian, Frontier started selling this, never seen their castings though ?? http://www.ebay.com/itm/1957-ford-big-job-ran-600-to-900-new-release-/330792238734?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d04c0fe8e

Brian, go for the Big Job and build this one !!!!! http://www.zibe.com/for-sale/used-1956-ford-f800-big_job_truck-saddle_river-nj-145-783930.html

How about starting off with the Aussie resin 42 GMC Army truck ?? http://www.aussieresinmodels.com/19/cab-hood/

Brian, Were you looking at something like this one that greymack posted some time ago: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=41291 I also remember reading on another forum where a fella took the fenders off the pickup bed and used through for fron fender extensions and reworked the wheel opening Rick

Have been searching around for some pics of an early lowboy as I have abuild in mind of an old construction company I remember from my younger days back in the 60's. Lo and behold came across this site with a variety of nice pics. Thought it might be of interest. http://www.purplewave.com/cgi-bin/mnlist.cgi?120531/B6250/showall Rick

Some good reference pics over on Brads Trucks as he has the last 1:1 from the movie: http://www.bradsclassictrucks.com/DuelPage.htm Rick

Was following this one over on Hanks Forum, looks like it on ebay now, lots of items incluided with thekit and sure looks to be a good casting from the pics http://hankstruckforum.com/htforum/index.php?topic=61909.0

Heres the link to the finished model: http://public.fotki.com/Twist67/modelbuilding/finished-models/trucks/peterbilt-trucks/the-duell-truck-and/

I remember there was a fellow from Germany who built the rig a few years ago, here some pics: http://pxrxaa.blu.livefilestore.com/y1ptY1TD8PHnsb_cHExIFx85GEL4JdxRHo8WRDUxJmcQCQ50ysBvToQzLhM6YU3sOfWBEgloIb-i1jd5_j-ukFt5w/100_1823.jpg http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1p_Jh6hRNwOtfNkVaK9lDMhCabg6mSRNNCtVlEfnljJ_Rv15dBWtbcZvfZAyWi0ZXa http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pLtcMYAEB1-hVzzhRr76fOaO3594QTiqZz7tWX4JJuPMVsnOuKCu6yz-W0KL3D5uB http://pxrxaa.blu.livefilestore.com/y1pK8hfDM8SLhMWCTlbWS4WG6Ul8h6sjP6BPT__VDG1omk93R_9T2Ff6WQQcIG8WkeJVMQbd6wEL0VNGnZdCNFZEw/100_1856.jpg

I believe the early competion was the 7000 series that looked like this: http://ccbryson.com/sterling/images/photos/large/feb2010/DSCN1200.JPG http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/data/500/1963-B-7000-b.jpg

Thanks, what would Motor Citys ebay sellers name be ??

Just wondering if this one has hit the market for sale yet ?? Thanks Rick

Jim, Watched this one from the start and I have to tell you, I have been amazed at the work put into this build !! You have shown some great scratch building and use of alot of best available material. Would always be great if we could just walk in and buy what we need off the shelf but sometimes that doesn't happen given whats available and what the budget is. My hats off to for the amount of time and effort put into this one and looking forward to seeing more as it progresses !! Rick

This one came out really nice !! Any further news when it will be available ?? Now we just need to get the GMC cab of similiar styling mastered !!

awesome build !!

Hey Daniel, This looks like it's going to be a nice one !! You had mentioned a while back your were going to try an old Coke truck with the Modelhaus Chevy 2 ton did that one ever get started or did she get put on hold for a while ?? Looking forward to the progress on the International !! Rick

Courrier would be great its the cost up here,as an example I sent to big rig kits to fellow in Ohio cost 48.00 Cdn via Ups, he sent me two back cost him 22.00 US. Anything we do tack 13% tax onto as well. The interesting thing I was going to send the kits by Canada Post they were more expensive then Courrier !! As noted Randy's resin is awesome and his HS is great, we are close to Toronto and his shop is by far better then anything in the city.HS are few and far between up here these days !! He is a busy man, I don't know when he gets a chance to cast !! Rick

I live not to far away from Randys Hobby shop: http://www.daileyhobbies.com/ He's a great guy to deal with and his product is Excellent, his store is the only real HS in a big area and its always busy !!! Product is well worth the wait and as noted above our mail system leaves a lot to be desired. I would give him another call. Rick

The old MPC Merc Police snap kit ?? http://modelexpress.net/?s=police+car Rick

Vernon, Here's the link to Randy's Hobby Shop can usually find him there: http://www.daileyhobbies.com/contact.htm

When it comes to the Dodges if this is what you are looking for: http://farm5.staticflickr.com/4092/5219186592_14b65fcbaf_z.jpg RMR has a nice resin 1957 Dodge COE for around $40.00, have seen one up close and its well proportioned with an opening hood. Rick

How about this cab as a nice California style big stick wrecker !! http://www.imcdb.org/i046817.jpg

Lots of build ops for this one when you watch this !!

Wow, that is a beauty !!! Any chance we are going to see that in resin soon ???????? Would be real nice to have available to create something like this !! http://www.riggsboysracing.com/66%20n-600.htm Rick
