70's KW cabover truck and trailer Boise Cascade

[bitner]

I used the original issue of the AMT KW cabover and added 6' to the frame in front of the drivers and 5 feet behind them. One of our friends in the 70's drove the prototype truck hauling plywood glue for Boise Cascade, and it was built from the photos. I have some fond memories of this truck as a 7 year old. I scratch built the truck bed and most of the trailer, using the suspension parts from an AMT 27' van and dolly. I cast all the tires and rims myself, and made all the decals.

Well I must say you have made a fine model set up here.

I'm quite a fan of the COE Kenworth and I must say the alterations you have made to achieve your goal have been well worth it.

Cheers

That's beautiful. The home made wheels and tyres are incredible. I'm especially pleased to see this build, as I am going to convert a Revell K100 into a car carrier. I wasn't too sure if the flatbed body would suit the COE, but yours really does.

You need to look closely at these photos to appreciate the level of detailing which has been done here, even down to sprung bases for the CB aerials.
