Am I correct in remembering that to do an accurate Powerliner you’d have to widen the AMT Freightliner cab?

Still, with this photo etch set, we’re a lot closer to being able to build one than before. Looks like a nice set.

yes, The Powerliner cab is 4" wider than the 61 series raised cab in the AMT kit - but there are many other differences.  The extra width in the tunnel and a unique forward frame assembly was required to accommodate a 1200 square inch radiator. The Powerliner was developed as a high horsepower owner operator truck long before Freightliner had a Conventional in that market.  Every Powerliner had a lot of extra Custom Engineering hours.
