Jim B Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) Sounds like you like those "heavy Chevies"! Edited September 3, 2014 by Jim B
Old Buckaroo Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) Jim - I dont know about James, but after seeing the two you built I have the hankering to build one. I would like to build one as a single daycab. Edited September 3, 2014 by Old Buckaroo
Jim B Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Jim - I dont know about James, but after seeing the two you built I have the hankering to build one. I would like to build one as a single daycab. Well, thank you, Sean. I appreciate that. I have a couple in the stash that will get built eventually, and one will be a single-axle daycab. Not sure if it will be the GMC or the Chevrolet, though. I also have a General & a Bison in the stash. One will end up as a short-hood daycab. Probably the Bison.
redneckrodder Posted September 3, 2014 Author Posted September 3, 2014 Sounds like you like those "heavy Chevies"!....no just a slight case of lets build a model while you still feel up to the task
redneckrodder Posted September 3, 2014 Author Posted September 3, 2014 Got the titan but seems like this is gonna be one of those builds...barely had enough to buy this on my pay card from workin this summer and when i checked if i won it this morning and it said the listing had been taken down so i used the card to get some stuff at the gas station. when i just checked the listing said won awaiting payment...so now i have to go get a gift card. to pay for it

redneckrodder Posted September 4, 2014 Author Posted September 4, 2014 What front axles will fit under this
redneckrodder Posted September 6, 2014 Author Posted September 6, 2014 i think these paint schemes would be nice
redneckrodder Posted September 6, 2014 Author Posted September 6, 2014 can someone please give me a rundown of this kit including all the features and details
Jim B Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Which kit? The Titan or the Bison? Anything specific you are wanting to know?
redneckrodder Posted September 6, 2014 Author Posted September 6, 2014 Titan...engine years trim packages etc
redneckrodder Posted September 6, 2014 Author Posted September 6, 2014 Also need the tire size and make included in the titan
Jim B Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 The information that I have puts the AMT Chevrolet Titan/90 at about a 1976. Earlier issues of the kit can be made to as early as 1972, but the later issues don't have the bus-style mirrors. The kit comes with GM-style 5-spoke wheels and 11.00x20 tires (which was mentioned earlier). The rear suspension is a 60" spread 38000# (or there abouts) spring suspension. The kit offers you (2) styles of fuel tanks: square chrome or round (non-chromed) 100-gal tanks. If you look at the example I posted, the GMC Astro/95 has the square tanks, and the Chevrolet Titan/90 has the round tanks. There are also (2) battery boxes offered in the kit: between the frame rails & step style boxes. The engine is a Detroit Diesel 8V71N. The kit instructions show only (2) options for the exhaust: single stack & dual narrow set stacks behind the cab; however, the exhaust piping is there for the dual wide-set exhaust stacks (like mine) but the stacks are not. If you want to do that you'll need some aftermarket stacks or pirate something from another kit.
redneckrodder Posted September 6, 2014 Author Posted September 6, 2014 Ok thanks jim do you know the brand of the tires
Jim B Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Goodyear in the latest reissue. Oh, the kit also comes with the GM Dragfoiler, an optional visor, and two styles of roof marker lights.
redneckrodder Posted September 6, 2014 Author Posted September 6, 2014 Ok thanks hopefully mine gets here so i can assess it and figure out what i need to do to it
redneckrodder Posted September 6, 2014 Author Posted September 6, 2014 Being a detroit the engine should be green shouldnt it...mines painted orange
Jim B Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Yes, from the factory the Detroit Diesel should be Alpine Green in a Chevrolet. Testors Model Masters Grun RLM 62 is a decent match for the early Alpine Green.
Jim B Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 This might help some: http://www.round2models.com/files/instructions/amt603.pdf
redneckrodder Posted September 6, 2014 Author Posted September 6, 2014 Thank you for the info and instructions it all helps
redneckrodder Posted September 8, 2014 Author Posted September 8, 2014 Got my truck today....tires are 10-20 and looks to have had the bus style mirrors
redneckrodder Posted September 8, 2014 Author Posted September 8, 2014 i think these paint schemes would be nice leanin towards the turquise since the blanket has been painted a similair color
redneckrodder Posted September 18, 2014 Author Posted September 18, 2014 This might help some: http://www.round2models.com/files/instructions/amt603.pdf do you have an instruction sheet for the astro...i got some astro parts and a few of them seem different
