Went to the Charlotte IPMS show this morning. There were some nice builds and a fair selection of kits to peruse. I picked this guy up for $20. Anyone else build it?

That’s a pretty good deal, is that cab in two pieces like the other SD/DD kit?

[37 caddy]

It has a 3 piece cab,if you count the rear panel? i built it back in 74 or so when it first came out,wasnt too long after that the one with the tandem axle and sleeper came out.Had them both at that time,the cabs were a pain but were doable for a 14 year old. harvey

This kit doesn't have instructions or decals. Not a big deal. Is there a site dedicated to old instructions?

Love it, this thread made me laugh today, outstanding, need more of that.

I've built 3 of these kits. They're a little fussy. Could be something I did wrong though. On the last one, I switched the 250 for a 350 and that created a whole new set of issues running the intake out behind the cab.
