Jacobus,

Some really nice vintage rigs you have there...very well done.

The Alaskan Hauler (green KW) looks EXACLY like the picture on the box (was anyone else dismayed as a kid that there was NO chrome in the kit?)

Funny part is, now....I'm usually stripping off ALL the chrome for my trucks now!

The WT 9000 is pretty cool too. overall---nice group there at the ol' truck stop.

Here is a Star that I did a few years back. I swapped the Cat in, scratch built the exhaust, tanks, and boxes.

I have a delayed WIP Diamond REO that is going to be a Semi pulling truck.

Ray, Where did you get the tires on your build???

Any pictures of the dual exhaust wye pipe you made for it? I'm putting duals on mine.

[olsbooks]

Wow do you have some shine on that one! Really sharp!

[purepmd]

Chris, if you are asking about the exhaust on the black WS, there is not an actual Y-pipe. All the pictures I found on the internet show the exhaust is sent to stacks from a dual exit muffler under the right frame rail. The head pipe comes off the turbo and drops to just below the frame and enters a round muffler on the long end, and from 2 side outlets, goes to the stacks. In this picture, you can see the passenger side exhaust and muffler. The drivers side is a mirror image, with extra length to get to the muffler on the passenger side frame rail.

Thanks!! I didn't notice that in the picture! I'm trying to run duals on a 3408 cat in my white western star, but trying to figure it out!

Great collection, Jacobus - Could be seen at a truckstop around 1980...

I especially like the '70s Ford WT9000 Coe (like "Blue Mule from White Line Fever") and the '60s Diamond T Coe - what conversions are these?

Some very nice trucks. That certainly must give some inspiration. Personally the first one and the wrecker does it.

[Q tip]
