EmeryvilleCOE

Love it! Detail is very nice.

Great job! Love the colors.

Real sharp! Love the details...Cabovers are pretty awesome!

Love those Big Bunk KW's awesome job so far!

Pretty much "box stock."

That probably would look pretty cool..They do look similar.

Nice Craig!..man I like that peek of the red Transtar also!!!!!!

Hey thanks for that offer! Actually, I'm okay. I had mine in my drawer while working on this. Probably will leave them off, working on side kit now for covered wagon.

Man, I want to cry! shame to see all those workhorses sitting. When I lived up there we use to go looking for that stuff. I found a pretty cool H-67 once outside Minot, and an Emeryville.

Added scratch built toolboxes, I still have to mount one on the passenger side spread. Took a little break from The Freightliner, hooked it up to the flatbed just to see a different look. Freighliner Chemical Leaman acid trailer is next.

MAN! that truck is incredible!...awesome job..

Thanks guys for all the suggestions...took a little break from the truck..OT, but i threw together a pro street Nova for my brother in-law..my sister is having a little Boy in June, so i wanted to be the first to give him a Hot Rod...please don't bash me for using the truck forum for this..haha!

Thanks Bob, I like that older look for sure. I remember my dad running a double bunk K-100 with an acid trailer back in the 70's. I always thought that looked so cool. Then again I'm a cabover nut! I'm adding my airfilters under the cab today. Then on to the motor and plumbing. I appreciate the compliments. I'm just getting back into this stuff cause of my 3 yr old, I want to put this stuff on his shelf like my dad did for me. I have so much to learn, you guys do some awesome stuff on here.

Awesome! man you can't tell them apart..How's things up in the UP? I use to be stationed at KI Sawyer, back in the 80's..B-52. Heard it's been closed for years for military.

Amazing work! Exceptional talent you have..

Straight pipes added, still a lot to do. I will plumb everything later. Going to take each of my 359 air filters and hang them under the cab on each side of the frame next. Kept the stacks short for pulling Chemicals. Trailer will be next when this is complete. Thinking on adding a product hose rack behind the stacks/air breathers? Also may add a small fitting box on the chassis to simulate holding 2" and 3" adapters for Chemical hoses.

AGREED! I can wait to see who reproduces something next. Like the 1/16 scale Pete 359. I got one for my birthday when I was a kid..(now 44), and now it will be available. My local Hobby guy already has my order and will set it aside when it comes in. It's just a matter of time before most of them come back.

You're right! these people are sick! i guess that's why round 2 caught on and said, "we could do these for 1/4 the price." I hope they keep reproducing these models. I want to pick up a transtar cabover next, but I don't want to second mortgage my house. My local hobby shop has an original 359 California hauler for $70, man I guess that's a steal?

Thanks so much guys! yeah, i should get the exhaust mocked up today. I have to cut some alluminum tube and get the height i'm looking for. I'm not going to tall with the stacks cause the truck is a chemical hauler, here in Jersey, we always had them cut down a little to clear low over passes in the cities. When I ran a gasoline tanker we were always going under 13' overpasses. So, I will probably keep the same thought pulling an acid trailer. I didn't go too high with the breathers also.

Thanks, I may borrow that idea? It sure would look cool!..I did some more work on the breathers, chrome tops are from a 359. I still have to plumb everything once the engine is in. I also added a Diamond plate chassis platform. It had some old slight discoloration, so I left it that way, kind of looks like someone was walking on it.

Worked on a couple more things today, built front bumper, (added chrome grille bottom) and i'm building the dual behind the cab breathers should have those on soon along with straight pipes.

Thanks so much..You have some real cool trucks too!..I grew up around Cabovers with my Dad, and I drove them too after serving in the Military. My dad had Emeryvilles and H-67's and later ran Transtars and K-100's among a hundred other trucks over his career. I'm very partial to them also, but anything mechanical and moves equipment is cool anyway. He's now retired and busy building his dream 32 Ford 5 window in the garage.

Really cool trucks..nice collection

Thanks! long way to go, actually i may try to mount two conventional chrome breathers behind the cab half way up the sleeper I seen it on a Transtar cabover and it looked real cool..I will try to find the pic and post it.

Been doing a few things since last week. I recieved my Chemical Leaman decals from Model Truckin.com, they are beautiful!..The overall look I wanted was a late 70's Owner Operator tractor, so that is why The Company decal is not on the door. I basically have it mocked up for some pics..I plan on straight pipes and dual air breathers behind the cab..I seen one at a show years ago and the real tractor looked sharp. I stretched the chassic a scale 25" and pushed the fuel tanks back and even with each other...So much more to do.. I plan on scratch building an Acid trailer and adding the other Chemical Leaman decals.
