Ok. I can't believe it. But there aare no pics online of this tanker. My dad has a couple but his house right now is about 6000 miles to the east lol. I am 100% positive that this is a Gulf oil fuel tanker.

[toplessfury]

I'm working on one right now. Well, ok, not RIGHT now; but you know what I mean. It's the AMT Fruehauf tanker. AMT released it as Amoco, Gulf, Union, Sunoco (plated), Texaco, & CCR Transportation. Here's the link to the instructions. Hope they help.

thanks jim that is perfect.

[Jim B]

Dennis, there are instructions for a lot of models, but not all.

Jamie, no problem. I'm pretty sure that Jerry @ Model Truckin', or Dennis @ Model Express will have decals if you need them.

[toplessfury]

jim i think im going to make my own decals for this.if they dont turn out good ill buy some.

Maybe I can make some, IF I'm not infringing on any trademarks.

You know, I checked out that sight yesterday and after looking at all the model truck, trailer, farm equipment and construction equipment kit pics, I realized how few of the trucks my dad originally had that he has now. He had at least one if not 2 or 3 of everyone of the kits made before 1985. Until someone took his beer trucks, mail trucks and cattle haulers when they were in storage plus losing all but 75 of them to a windstorm when they were in a storage shed. Sucks.

That is sweet. I need to get that kit. I love Texaco.

[toplessfury]

i repainted this last night with spaz stix and ran out of paint before i finished it but it is going to look good.ill put some pics up later.

[toplessfury]

here it is with a very light coat of spaz stix

i think it will look good when i put another coat of two on it.

[Old Albion]

Jamie,

Looks like an interesting restoration you have going there. That coat of paint has certainly freshened up the trailer. Good Luck and keep us posted with progress.
