chuckyr Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 (edited) That's great news. I hope Bob reissues all of his catalog! Edited October 16, 2009 by chuckyr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaronw Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 That is good news, all of the stuff looks great but I am particularly happy to see some 50s Kenworths. KWs were popular for fire apparatus in many hilly cities in the 50-60s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 I, too, am happy to see the Kenworths. i hope he comes out with his Kenworth Bullnose again. Oh, that, and his Dodge Bighorn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that's who made the Bullnose kit? Now I know which site to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Just got off the phone with Bob. He also has an 82" sleeper cab International Emeryville. for the "owner operator" look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted October 18, 2009 Author Share Posted October 18, 2009 I thought it was Bob, but now I'm not so sure. Maybe it was RNK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Just got off the phone with Bob. He also has an 82" sleeper cab International Emeryville. for the "owner operator" look. To correct my last statement. I just spoke to Bob again today and he has an 80" Emeryville sleeper cab, not an 82" as mentioned. He also has the 72" and the day cab versions.

Aaronw Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I just saw a resin KW Bullnose on ebay, it sold for $139. It didn't say who the caster was. Does anyone have a list of what Illini did in the past, just to give me an idea what might be coming in the future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxwell48098 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Here is an old Illini catalog from sometime in the early '90's. I bought a lot of Bob's stuff back then. I don't have any later catalogs than this. Thanks, A.J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpreadAxle Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 This is the catalog I had, but I couldn't find it. Thanks 4 posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckyr Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I have several of his catalogs somewhere and even spoke to him on the phone. He was notorious for listing subjects he never offered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
