Hey truck fans. I have been wanting to build a mild custom big rig for some time. Nothing overly detailed but a nice looker, ya know.

I have not built a large car since I was child, and the cost of a proper kit has always seemed to prevent me from building one.

Here are my favorites, not in any order:

Chevy Bison

Autocar a64b

Pete 359 Snapkit

Pete California Hauler

KW 925

Not sure about quality of these kits, I would hate to spend good $$$ on a clunker.

Been looking on Feebay, and will be checking swap meets, any advise?

Thanks, J2

my advice would be to go out n get a snap pete or kenworth w900 u can do many mods with those snap kits and they are cheap,...u can stretch the frame drop the visors full fenders,add straight pipes , modify the front fenders,custom paint etc ect the list goes on

ps those snap kits come with a pretty detailed cat 3406b block engine

good luck n enjoy !!!!!

Use AMT 10.00x20'S, They are a good common kit tire. I use them on the Snap-tites I have...Dave is right...The snap-tite kit tires are terrible!!!

i was going to recommend the Revell snap kits, but the tire issues to me kill those kits.

Yeah, but they are so cheap you can afford some aftermarket wheels and still not have spent a ton of money.

Thank you kindly. I will do some looking now. I wondered about the snapkits.

It's a good excuse to get some! Some of them are so-so, but most are a lot better than the kit issues. And besides, you get the styles you want.

KFS has many models, have a look at those at http://kitformservices.com/.
