  1. Crew Cab would be cool but I've always been a fan of Extended cab trucks regardless of Ford, Dodge, or GM
  2. I am well aware but I am interested in the aftermarket conversions that exist. That is why I worded it as weird. They cut down the bed and used that in making the extended cab.
  3. 2WD long beds were the work horses but I think 4X4 and Regular Cab Short Bed 2WDs sell better. I'd like to see a the weird Extended cab in scale.
  4. Saw on 1 of the Facebook groups someone tried and they said Round 2 claimed they didn't have the decals. But I haven't personally tried. I've been tempted to though.
  5. I just want to know if any North East Ohio Stores have them... I work part time at The Aurora/Bainbridge store and have not seen any. Anyone got any info on say Chardon, Middlefield, Streetsboro or Mentor? Any others not too far out of that range? πŸ˜‚πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ Definitely want a couple but I refuse to pay the $50 they want on Ebay.
  6. My Dad just got this kit from me as a gift and his had the damaged grille. Didn't know this was an issue until seeing this post. However I don't frequent the forums much anymore. He spent some time fixing it and now it doesn't look half bad.
  7. Thank You! I believe the AMT cummins has a unit similar. Think that could be made to work?
  8. It looks like I should be able to fudge it into place in the Cabover frame. For some reason I'm finding it near impossible to find good reference pics of a Cat powered WT or even a Cummins just to see how the 6 cylinders are placed. I did however find an engine swap video on a Cat powdered CL on YouTube. I assume it would be similar to the WT.
  9. Good Info to have. Thank You. Did they offer an Aftercooled A block? The #D printed Cab I'm going to be using Using I'm guessing is roughly the era of the A block. Could I add an Aftercooler to the Revell engine or would it be too much work? Where would I source one? This seems like I've gone down quite the Rabbit hole.
  10. Well Got Shipment notification for the Cab so I went ahead and ordered the IH Cab Over kit and a Revell Cat 3406 Engine. So Hopefully I'll be able to build what I'm imagining. You guys already know the color scheme πŸ˜‚
  11. Thanks Guys! I hope I can make this future Ford Project Work.
  12. Long Time No Post. Anyway I Just ordered Texas 3D'd Ford WT-9000 Sleeper cab. I was wondering if anyone has used these 3D cabs yet and on what Chassis and what modifications would be needed? I have built 1 and have 1 in progress of AMT's Retooled International CO-4070A. I like that kit would it be acceptable to use or would I run into length issues? I'd also like to do a Cat Diesel Could I get away with a Cat 3406? I see a resin one and from an old Forum it appears that is the engine in the Revell Snapper Pete 359. I'm not a Big Rig aficionado But I do want a Ford Cabover in my small fleet of Trucks. Any Help is appreciated. This is the Engine I found that I might want to use: https://stsupplyco.com/products/caterpillar-3406-diesel-engine-kit-1-25-resin?_pos=2&_sid=d70c89d7a&_ss=r This is the Cab I ordered: https://tx3dcustoms.com/products/ford-wt9000-kit This is the Base Kit I'm thinking of Using: https://www.amazon.com/International-Transtar-CO-4070A-Semi-Tractor/dp/B08TMSPHHF/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3685BX7XDXNJA&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.urExtf3J7Ff94nBDJ-0ZPTBSWW_aO61g6wO2jSp-e0srrKuw1AbULsUxmVlwNFDd3ckLoUwJmoWkITSP3bOszg.Ds7S34bJW1Czzdg0Ti89DQrpoBXazLrD9gMIUH_y7Uo&dib_tag=se&keywords=amt+international+transtar+co-4070a&qid=1747567397&sprefix=amt+international+co%2Caps%2C107&sr=8-1 And For Fun I'll attach Pics of "My Fleet" I Do have a few more WIPS but These are my Completed Big Rigs Thanks!
  13. So I Know there are some 3D Models out there. Not sure on printability though. I Believe EDM 3D has designed files that could be made printable. However you would have to find someone to print for you if you don't have a printer.
  14. I just got my Order Last week. Took a while for it to actually ship and then the postal service lost it... Hopefully you get your order soon.
  15. Like the title says. Years ago I traded off the remains my first Glue Kit for a JoHan Superbird body. I can't remember who I traded it off to. It was a Dark Red blown up by Firecrackers 1967 Mustang. I'd like to add it back to my collection if it still exists. I'll attach a Pic of before I blew it up and after. After of course is what I imagine it could still look like. Been years since I traded it off so It very well may not exist anymore or the person I traded with may no longer post.
  16. I don't believe I have ever seen one but maybe Combine 2 of the Revell 4.6/5.4 V8s. If I remember right that is essentially what the V10 is a Triton V8 with 2 extra cylinders.
  17. Did anything ever happen from this? I'm really wanting to convert my 71 kit to a 70.
  18. I'm not here to take away from him but I will say what I've seen. I have not personally been a customer of his but several of my Facebook friends have. The wait times are huge 1 of my friends has mentioned he's been waiting 6 months now for his order. Now this is where it could seem like I'm trying to take away from his business. The kits he offers are available as files on multiple 3D file sites. That said if you have or know someone with a 3D printer you could in theory get your order sooner. I'm not saying not to order from him but be prepared for a long wait. Those who have received there orders are very satisfied with the products.
  19. Thank You
  20. Thanks Everyone
