California Hauler questions

I just bought this online.

I have never built it. What can you guys tell me about it. Biggest thing I want to know is how hard is it to make in to a day cab?

[Jim B]

It's actually pretty easy as the cab & sleeper are seperate; and the sleeper is a crawl-through type. The cab is already set to make it a daycab.

That is exactly what I wanted to hear, you are the man. You just made my day.

[Jim B]

Well, thanks. Tim's the real Peterbilt guru, though. I'm sure he's built several of these kits.

Probably AMT's best truck kit..

The only problem with the kit is that the hood is removable, not tilting.

As said above, the sleeper is an option. When you build the cab, install the rear window "glass" and leave the sleeper off, install the extra deck plate included and you're all set. The 1st version of the kit was issued as a day cab.

Thanks for the info Tim. The ones you have built look great.
