Evils kw

I was thinking of trying to build this in the future i thought about the mack first. but i kinda like this better and it will be easier and cheaper

[pete3522]

the amt k-123 with sleeper cut off and alot of plastistruct one thing the sleeper or motorhome parts all straight should be easy to build one big frame stretch!!lol One thing i need is the length of the motorhome part and the wheelbase length so i can scale it down maybe i can get that somehow???

I'd love to build that truck as well, some day! If you do decide to build it, I mastered the correct little 17" spoke wheels needed to build the trailer and they are available in resin. The wheels on the tractor can be bought in real aluminum as well.

it had a 318/auto combo

296 wheelbase,notice that the 5th wheel is behind the axle.I believe the measurement is 2 feet behind the rear center line

In 1971 it cost $99,000,$40,000 just for the base tractor.This configuration was a truck/trailer not a tractor trailer

ok justin is there a website with info on this??Even if i dont build this i am curious about the actual rebuild

That would be a great set up to build.
