ap40rocktruck Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 toss them all in the junk bin & replace them with resin, metal & Italeri tires. try these from KFS http://www.kitformservices.com/metal.html Scroll down to #AL-19 & 19a

BigBad Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 Here's a stretch: If you already have it, take a look at the AMT International 4300, It has (better) wheels than the Peterbilt, front and back and also has a steering front axle that you could use on your truck. I bought 3 of those kits only for the steering axle and the rims to install on other 1:25 scale trucks!

Ok that sounds good thanks for the info ,the Revell Of Germany Pete dose come with a steering axle .
BigBad Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 (edited) Ok that sounds good thanks for the info ,the Revell Of Germany Pete dose come with a steering axle . Yes it does, but I mentioned the International being able to steer as well because what you could do is swap out the whole axle assemblies, front and back altogether so you don't have the hassle of fitting the wheels to the axles. Makes things a little simpler. If they fit correctly of course. I'm planning to use those axles on the Chevy Titan I'll build later. I'm really into models that have functional steering. Cheaper option I guess. And you don't lose that functionality. Edited August 17, 2013 by BigBad
