One piece interior tub/chassis, no understood detail, spring/axle combo, integral roof; really decreases the parts count. I had to do a lot of digging to flesh out this engine compartment:

Ah! I'm used to seeing modern hyrails with the train wheels at front and back rather than in the middle like that.

What's that riggin' under the door on those things? ?

I picked up one of these kits today. There are actually four wheel options in the kit: stock steel wheels, 1:20 wagon wheels, plated wheel covers, and plated deep turbine style. The sticker on the wrapping proclaimed three wheel options; since the turbine wheels don't fit either of the tire options that may be why. I hope someone will make resin copies of the full length roof and interior panels. The window pieces for the roof are still in the kit.

If the only difference is the reefer unit itself one of those kits is inaccurate. There is quite a different between a reefer trailer and a dry van/plated trailer.

Is there anyone that makes a 73-74 grille for this?

I did an image search for old Love'stankers and couldn't find much. Surprisingly a bunch of Flying J tankers showed up; they didn't look as good back in the day.

I stopped at the HL in Bangor, ME yesterday and they had much of the same new kits. There were spaces marked for the Jeep Commando, Edsel, and Pepper Shaker, but no stock. Picked up a Baja Bronco. Now that I know I can get in and out of there with a tractor-trailer I'll stop by more often.

Roof rack only in the High Roller. The other High Roller kits also had unique parts in them, IIRC.

Love's has been using Freightliner for a while, have seen pictures of Columbias and Centuries. Nowadays they also use Pete 579s and Volvos in addition to the short and long hood Cascadias. So I'm sure a Mack R wouldn't be out of place.

Aren't the wheels in the '50 Chevy pickup 6-lug?

Well, lookit that!

Jeff lives in Selma, which is south west Oregon. I imagine the collection is near there somewhere. As someone from the east coast all of those vehicles are restorable treasures! Also I imagine all the 20s-40s Ford stuff will find it's way to many hot rod builds.

One of my favourite YouTubers, Jeff Bradshaw over at Elderly Iron, has uploaded a video of a massive car collection he's been tasked with liquidating. Over 390 cars spanning decades, the mind boggles! https://youtu.be/IzIYtkqlGBI

Would the wheels from the Jada diecast work?

On Sunday I was given the keys to a new 2018 Cascadia Classic. I've never driven a truck this new and I'm just beside myself!

I have one on my 2018 Cascadia. Really helpful backing up trailers.

This is the beastie I'm talking about! So this is not a factory offering but something cooked up by the motorhomes manufacturer?

I have been trying to track down images and information on an oddball chassis cab vehicle manufactured by GM. I have only seen this a couple of times but it seems to be a heavier duty version of the G30 van chassis with some kind of tilt hood that uses the grille from the C70 truck. The ones that I have seen were Class C motorhomes so I'm not totally convinced yet that this was a factory offering. I do know that in 1993 Chevrolet started offering a G30 cab on the P30 chassis that had a fibreglass tilt hood, but it had the same grille as the equivalent G30 so what I'm looking for seems to be something different. I'm hoping someone here is familiar with this vehicle and I'm not imagining things...

Left NC yesterday and stopped for the night in Stamford, CT. We're stuck here for the day.

So in an update to this thread, I did pass by a place called Bobby's Hobbies in Gibsonville on the way to Mebane from Roanoke. Hope to check it out while I'm in the area. Also going to check out Raleigh Hobby tomorrow.

Did anyone else notice the 2019 Ram has switched to six lug wheels?

Thanks for the info! Might go check out the Ollie's while we're down.

I'm going to be visiting family in Mebane and Hillsborough, NC for New Year's. Driving down from New Brunswick so I'll be mobile and willing to travel a bit outside of those cities in search of shops. Hopefully there are some good hobby shops in the area and not just the chain stores...! Thanks in advance!

Any pictures? Nothing on the website that I can find except the Wagoneer body. I picked up two of these kits at reasonable prices so of course it's being reissued....
