  1. Ha,my father in law back in the 90's would have thrown a chain over the truck frame, one over the bed and then tell me to be careful !!!!!
  2. lookup accell supercoil, it was the thing to have before the MSD stuff came along
  3. sorry, thought it was a legitimate question, lol. Ive hauled auction stuff like this before, at the end of the trip, when u make that last turn into the yard, u take a deep breath, look to the sky, and say thank u! this one is tied down better than some i've seen.....
  4. Looks like a couple of auction pcs, the bed is just strapped onto the truck for transport.
  5. Seen this at the detail shop today, picture doesn't do the color justice, deep green met. Detail guy said it had about a 1/4 inch of dust on it this morning, first time out of the garage in 4 years!
  6. rugged looking work truck. good job!
  7. Good job, reminds me of one a local lumber mill had, and like my little short Ford, I bet it was fun to drive on wet pavement!
  8. Nice, clean truck, I like the trailers too....
  9. The headlights i can live with, get rid of those stupid looking breather boxes, even thought that Western daycab is pretty cool with all the add ons.
  10. This one is from the early 90's, all could find was 1 b/w pic. truck was lemon yellow, blue frame and interior accents. Still have all the body parts to put it back together one day. oops, didnt see the AMT, this one had the tilt front end
  11. Good to have u back, i"ve always been intrigued by some of your chassis builds. great stuff!
  12. Clean old truck, good job on the conversion
  13. I think ive still got some of these guards and the amber chicken lights in a box somewhere! There are still trucks around here using them, most have gone to the small peterbilt style led's now. Haven't really thought about em on my models.
  14. Even if it's phased out, just like the 359's, you will still see em around for the next 40 yrs or so, no huge concern...I got a friend that just ordered 4 new 2020 389's, all 72" sleepers, should b here in about a month. He bought 6 567's and 3 579's (1 has the EQIP lower aero package, cool looking truck) before the end of last yr, all silver met, all pulling tankers.
  15. Maybe for arguments sake, the frt is a little too high, maybe the w/well could have been a little further forward, but a great looking model as is. I love the color and the decals. here is one that sits abandon in an arkansas salvage yard....altered w/b and still got the straight axle and no, not for sale
  16. Good looking cobras, this one was on the mecum auction the other day
  17. Yea gator, there is a 36' galaxi to put behind it for now, Ive got the pieces cut for a 50' like the one in the other pic. Everything on hold for now, I've got a lot of real stuff to work onat the moment
  18. Nice looking rig, the stripes came really good
  19. The internationl was sitting in a yard down the street from me, the autocar and the the chevy were at a logger's lot where i was working on a truck, the red freightliner is my weekend job, bathing and servicing it for the last couple of years, 96 model long hood classic, 500 cat, 18 speed
  20. My weekly driver is a 2000 chevy silverado 5.3 v8, weekend ride is my 71 bronco 310 hp 302crate motor w/ FI fuel injection, and on rare occasions i do test and tune nites on the 48 fiat for a buddy of my mine, 6 liter ls motor, runs 5.80's 1/8 mile
  21. I still use the good ole orange/white testors, but i use the loctite with an accelerator for resin and scratchbuilding.
  22. Tom, u need to slow down, ur making it look too easy! Seriously, cant wait to see this one done
  23. WOW! Thats all i can say at the moment.......
  24. well done on all of it, I've done the backyard dirt trick before, even mixed dirt with water in a spray bottle!
  25. With all the problems u had, it came out extremely well, I like the bed.
