  1. Sure do, sweet ride. AMT,s kit would work to model it.
  2. Perhaps a book on Peterbilt would be a neat project for Tim.
  3. Thanks Tim keep it coming.
  4. AMT used to have the best box art, I wander who did it?
  5. A decent kit with many possibilities. Road tractor ,logger ,belly dump ,oil field truck ,wrecker etc.
  6. I noticed this 8v71 has a turbo (8v71t) most likely a 350great pic!
  7. Both the Amt w900 and k100 had the torsion bar suspension. They both were changed to the Hendrickson walking beam with the release of the Kw/Challenge mixer kit. FYI the cabover Kw has Fuller road ranger tranny. The Watkins w900 and the Movin On truck are exactly the same kit with different box art and decals.
  8. Typical Amt kit of the time no real surprises. Shares much with the Road boss kit much like the real truck. Biggest issue wheelbase a little short for sleeper. Details seem a little crisper than original. Decal sheet is very nice with red and white stripes. No flash and chrome decent.
  9. Great info Tim , many thanks. Now all those 352s I want to build. One of my favorite coes.
  10. Tower says late Oct. Year wise I say 69 or 70 but Tim could tell us better.
  11. Excellent comments Tim, certainly a welcome release no matter what.
  12. With the upcoming release of the AMT Peterbilt 352 from Round 2 I wander if Tim or others might have any comments on it,s good and bad points etc. Even though I've built the kit countless times since it's original release it would be good to hear others comments.
  13. UPS brought mine today, Another homerun from Round 2. Better than ever.
  14. Info the WS coe is scarce it's like it never existed. Anyway pass the popcorn.
  15. Got a couple on the way can't way to pair one up with a peerless log trailer.
  16. Jacobus, I'm not sure if anyone is making crackerbox cab now maybe someone can enlighten us. The crackerbox conversion is closely related to the astro as the astro replaced the crackerbox in GMC's line.
  17. All good but I remember a rectangle shaped intake tube up the left side of the cab on a lot of 7000s.
  18. Looks like could be Shell.
  19. Yep good donors I have a Griffen crackerbox planned for one.
