[BigBad]

Here is mine. The longer the better!!!! Long wheel bases and small sleepers. Does not get any better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd like the 1:1 version taking a turn on a tight city street corner... Entertainment for bystanders at least for a couple minutes.

[foosh]

Rebuild of an old gluebomb. Wheelbase is 270 inches.

[foosh]

couple more. extended frame rails 1" and 3/4 for a 234 inch WB. Not really long but alot longer then OOB.

Here's my Pete I built about a year ago.

And here my KW I built to resemble a fellas truck that hauled potatoes with us.

Here's my k123 that I built. If ever were to get an old cabovers this is what I would want it to look like. It's not crazy long but for a cabover it's strectched a bit.

Here's another kenworth of mine built up similar to my dads when I was a kid.

I thought this thread deserved a bump.

Here are a couple of my stretched cabovers. AMT DD Freightliner, 1/25, the black is a bit longer than the red.

The black 1 is on my shelf and the red 1 is on a buddies shelf.

And a few more.....The first one is a modified version of the Revell Pete 359 1/25 scale snapper....All the others are Italeri mods at 1/24 scale....And the last one is a 1/16 scaler!!!

[anarximis]

[youngtiger1]

Great looking trucks amigos!

[Mopar - D]

Here's my sterched Dodge CNT 1000. This is AITM cab with a AMT Frightliner donor all 1/25 scale.

[Petetrucker07]

Guess I'll go ahead and add this. My 305" W900.

[rctruk]

There sure some fine rigs here.

This is the Italeri Ford LTL I lengthened just enough to keep the sleeper and add the Revell wrecker body

Back in the '80s I converted a 1:87 scale Ulrich H60 Mack 3-axle to an H67, no need to alter the wheelbase, it was that long in the kit. Just dug it out of storage, it needs some restoration, had to use some elmers glue to get one of the mirrors to stay put along with the stack and upper half of the cab. Plus, the MV Products headlight lenses have all turned a ghastly shade of yellow just like what was described in this other thread.
