brian falcone Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 Just noticed a few online retailers have this model listed for preorder in late may to July! I'll be adding a few more to my pile for sure !
bismarck Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 Good news. I just found it myself. I'm stocking up while I can.
brian falcone Posted March 28, 2019 Author Posted March 28, 2019 I agree...may as well buy a case of them

PettyKW43 Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 Glad this is making a return ! And since they have made a dump truck and a tow truck in the reissue dept , it’s time for a Mixer with a Kenworth under it!
Force Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 It would be nice...but the original issue was in 1971 and as far as I know it has never been reissued, so they have to find the tooling for the mixer and the other parts if it still exists and get licensing for it.

gotnitro? Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 Toss the kit tires , stick some huge resin spokes under this truck and give it the look it deserves..imho

I'm planning on cases of this release. This kit is a good one to build as an Autocar but also makes a great parts donor with the dump box, Rockwell 6-rod rear suspension, front float tires, HD front springs, and 6-spoke front/5-spoke rear wheels.
bigred63 Posted May 2, 2019 Posted May 2, 2019 That would be an Interesting build! Love the Diamond tread fenders.
Jim B Posted May 2, 2019 Posted May 2, 2019 I have one of the previous reissues of this, and I was thinking that since the decals are for a fictional trucking company in Ardmore, PA, I should probably build this as a coal hauler. I know in some areas of PA you can't drive down the street without seeing a coal truck. Kind of like logging trucks in central Louisiana.
tbill Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 Guess I shoulda bought the kw mixer I saw at NNL east, that would’ve all but guaranteed it’s reissue.....
Casey Posted May 6, 2019 Posted May 6, 2019 How does the "heated body" work? What is used to heat the dump body, which, I'm assuming, is meant to prevent the load from sticking to the body below a certain temperature?
