Sam I Am Posted October 1, 2014 Author Posted October 1, 2014 Gordon, I am really liking that COE, but will keep you in mind if things change. Terry, HUGE thanks for the help with identifying the chassis.
Trucker Al Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Could you just send me everything please? LOL nice score. Best I've seen yet!
Sam I Am Posted October 1, 2014 Author Posted October 1, 2014 Thanks AL, but I think the shipping would be murder. Ok everyone, Here are the Conventional cabs... I think the second Pic is KW ? and the third pic is Pete 359.
tbill Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 last pic. half green cab/hood, white road boss.......just built one, recognize that hood anywhere, lol.
Sam I Am Posted October 2, 2014 Author Posted October 2, 2014 Thanks Tom. i did not know if the cab/hood really went together because the hood seems so much wider than the cab.
Old Buckaroo Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Top pic blue cab & hood IH 4200 , the extra cabs can be 4200 or 4300 series. The 4200 hood is even with rear fender, the 4300 hood is longer then fender.
Superpeterbilt Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 As was already said 1st pic is all IH 2nd pic is all Kw 3rd pic is all Pete 4th pic is Kw in the left front, Gmc General back left, Road boss cab and hood front right, and back right is White/Diamond Reo/Autocar cab
Sam I Am Posted October 2, 2014 Author Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) Thanks again guys, you have been a big help. I have been able to match just about everything up to instruction sheets, which will help a bunch when it comes to the bags of little parts. Ok, here are the rest of the partial buildups. the first one is a KW, like the cabs and hoods. is this the W-925 like the Movin On kit? The Green truck looks like an International Transtar F-4270? A few more 359 Petes, a really nice Fire engine that will get cleaned up and put in the display case. On the Dump beds, is the white one the Autocar?, and what is the orange one and mixer body? Thanks again everyone. Edited October 2, 2014 by Sam I Am
Superpeterbilt Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) The white dump body is from the Autocar kit, the red dump is from the IH paystar 5000 kit, the drum is from the paystar mixer. 3rd pic is KW W900 (i believe the 925 had the tortion bars) 4th pic is an International 4200 5th pic front left green Pete 359, right white Pete 359 back left KW.

Jim B Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 All of the AMT Kenworth W925 kits were the same. Only the decals were different. Although later issues had the spring suspensions making them actually W923. Looks like someone scratchbuilt an American-LaFrance Pioneer cab for the Ladder Chief. (Technically, it's a truck, not an engine. There's no pump for water.)
Sam I Am Posted October 2, 2014 Author Posted October 2, 2014 Thanks a lot guys !! Every little bit helps. I am still not anywhere near hitting bottom yet. lol
Truck parts Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 Sam, you have got a lot of great stuff there to build, I'am going to build a KW day cab over soon, that's why I asked about it.
Sam I Am Posted October 4, 2014 Author Posted October 4, 2014 This one looks factory, but I sure cant tell you how hard or easy it was to achieve it. lol I went through a HUGE box of parts. LOTS of bagged stuff. Not sure what all the engines are, and a few different hoods. Bag after bag of parts, a tray of chrome trees, trays of interiors, and just more stuff than I can wrap my head around....
Superpeterbilt Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 the pic of the hoods top left road boss mid left road boss bottom left pete 359 mid top Gmc general mid mid Ford louisville mid bottom Sneaky pete pickup (midnight cowboy wrecker) the rest is KW I could identify the rest, but Id have to come over
Sam I Am Posted October 4, 2014 Author Posted October 4, 2014 I could identify the rest, but Id have to come over Please do. I'll even make sure there are a few cold ones in the fridge !!
Superpeterbilt Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Please do. I'll even make sure there are a few cold ones in the fridge !! Sounds good. Where am I goin?
Superpeterbilt Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) . Edited October 4, 2014 by Superpeterbilt
Sam I Am Posted October 4, 2014 Author Posted October 4, 2014 Sounds good. Where am I goin? Lusk, WY lol Ok, I finally made it through the last of the truck boxes. Even with all the time I have spent going through things, its still only superficial. A Volvo and MB, partial builts with no paint and what looks like all the parts. Two Aeromax, one old build falling apart and one barely started. The Fords are both complete with the C600 having at least a spare cab. lol The BJ and the Bear kit is a falling apart built up. But appears to be all there. The Movin On kits are in real nice shape, one looks complete and unbuilt, the other looks like its missing a few.
Sam I Am Posted October 4, 2014 Author Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) The rest are just crazy. I dont know whats worse, opening a box and finding that it matches, or finding that it doesnt, or finding parts with no instructions, or instructions that do not match whats in the box. This Mack came with extras While this one might not all be there... ...and this one has the chassis in one box while the rest is in another. The rest are a craq shoot....lol ....oh, and I find mixer parts spread out in over four boxes. Edited October 4, 2014 by Sam I Am
Sam I Am Posted October 4, 2014 Author Posted October 4, 2014 Ok, last of the pics. The trailers. Looks like there is enough to build three tankers. A couple Reefer trailers ...and plenty of parts for dry goods, and doubles. Along with a couple low boys, flat bed, and Cattle Pods !! I noticed somebody got creative with a cattle pod trailer and built on that would go on what looks like Louisville ford, and a pickup. So thanks for following along as I dug through this HUGE score !! I appreciate all the help in identifying things and will now figure out what I want to keep and what will move on.
Mackvision Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Sam,in this picture,the cab is the MPC Mack DM-600/800 but the hood belongs to the AMT "Junkyard Dog" R-685, Mack was not happy about the presentation of this kit,and dropped their licensing agreement with AMT over it! the hood /grille is for the MPC DM-800 kit,i could build one of those almost from memory! I can't help identify everything pictured,but I am familiar with all Mack kits produced.........................................Mark
Sam I Am Posted October 4, 2014 Author Posted October 4, 2014 Thanks Mark. I thought the cab went to the Junkyard Dog because it has dents in it like the hood does.
landman Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Hey Sam,I might be interested in that Mack if you decide to get rid of it.
Mackvision Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Sam,i looked back at the picture,and you are correct! I thought the "bulge" in front of the cab was the hood latch/offset for the DM-800,but it is indeed the R-Model cab from the JunkYard Dog! maybe i'll clean my glasses now! Lol!.....................Mark
