Well, there's this one: http://www.aitruckmodels.com/pages/ck90reocmodel.html

Go for it! You won't be disapointed.

I agree as well. The Revell USA Kenworth W900 or Peterbilt 359 are great kits to "get started" with truck modeling. They fit together well, and look nice when completed. They are also pretty accurate. The AMT kits tend not to fit together very well sometimes, and can be quite frustrating.

One thing to consider is that in the 1950s & 60s, car manufacturers required the auto hauler be the same make as the cars they were hauling. Food for thought.

Gary Wallace from GW Trucks makes a nice resin front end correction/conversion for the T600/T800, The front ends of the T600/T800 are completely different from the W900. The AMT T600A is realy a bizzare kit. It has the T600A hood (flat nose), the T600B cab (sort of) with the single piece windshield, a W900 frame, and a 1970s engine & transmission.

Looks really nice. I like your photo base.

Good point, but it's still 30 years out of date.

Yes, the engine that comes in this kit is a Cummins NTC350. Needless to say, it's a little out of date. Looks like an interesting rebuild.

Looks good so far.

Nice find! Those cab overs look like they're in pretty sad shape.

Nice looking paint combination.

That's one sweet looking K100!

As to decals, well, just thinking out loud here, but what about something like Ryder? That way it could be a leased trailer & it can be displayed with any tractor. I see a lot of Ryder trailers on the road.

Ok, you've convinced me! I'll get one. It looks like it's a really nice kit. I think Moebius has another winner!

I think there's one of thise GG1 on display over at the New York State Fair Grounds.

That's pretty cool! And it's one busy terminal.

That looks really nice. It really captures the essence of Old San Juan. If the road was flatter I might have said New Orleans!

It does make sense. I mean, why would you offer something for sale if you were only going to make one or two of them? Not worth the production costs. Now I don't travel the highways much, but when I do I try to take notice of the trucks. I think I've maybe seen three Argosys, and when I do it's like "Oh, my God! A cabover!" I actually stopped next to one at one of the NYS Throughway Plazas last year.

I think you can still get the Argosy: http://www.freightlinertrucks.com/Trucks/Models/Legacy/Argosy

Blue & Lime Green? Should be interesting.

That looks like hell! But that's a good thing. Is that a Winn-Dixie Pez dispenser? I didn't know Winn-Dixie was in Australia. That's pretty cool. I worked for them when I lived in Miami.

What a bizarre movie! The yellow Peterbilt 359 is really nice though. I think it starts the movie as a white Peterbilt 358.

Could it be 1/32?

This one? http://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thscale/truckkit_instructions/revell/7527-kenworth-orien/

That's a lot of rivits!
