need help with a Freightliner

[Karmodeler2]

Hey guys,

I was on line looking at different shows of 1:1 trucks and saw an early 80"s (maybe even late 70"s) Freight shaker cabover and what drew my attention so fast was the fact that it was not painted, but the guy had spend countless hours polishing the body. The depth of shine was unbelievable--to the point of chrome-- and the the color on the frame rails (and maybe just the top of the cab/sleeper) was a pretty blue. He had a real nice custom rack for the two cleaners in the middle and the stacks on the outside of the rack. The doors opened up in a weird type, slide out and aft type door hinge. It was a very unique truck.

The problem is , I can't find the pics or remember where I saw them. I have searched my history but to no avail. Is there anyone that has seen these pics or has pics of this truck. You could use the AMT kit and it would be about the correct year.

Thanks for any help.

there was a model of it made, I remember seeing the pictures a year or so ago of a virtually fully chromed all over freightliner cabover. Think it was on truckmodeller.com. I don't think the pics are there are more though. There might be some pics of the real rig on hanks web site though????

Hey David, that truck is actually covered in Stainless steel, it was built by Phil Langevin and was called the S.S. Liner, it was done for the Big Rig Buildoff, he has since done a pete extended hood also, it is beautiful also. His company is called Vally Custom Trucks, really nice folks and some beautiful trucks! As far as pics, you might try www.hankstruckpictures.com Hope this helps, Jim
