gatorincebu Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 I got these in today straight from Tokyo Japan. These are awesome and I highly recommend them to anyone with a 1/32 Semi. The tires are rubber, great tread design Yokohama brand. Rear wheels have a choice of 4 hubs, front 3 hubs. Oh yes even comes with a spare tire (11 total) , rim and a mounting bracket. I have seen other sizes and wheel styles also. I got the 22.5 's I have been thinking about using 1/32nd wheels and tires on a dually project. I think those would work out well. Be Well Gator

Be Well Gator Excellent idea gator. Ive got a few old Ford dually projects stashed, and the kit wheels dont do it for me.
disabled modeler Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Excellent idea gator. Ive got a few old Ford dually projects stashed, and the kit wheels dont do it for me. Terry...the Ford dually wheels/tires are great to me....could use a few more sets for projects.
Superpeterbilt Posted March 22, 2015 Author Posted March 22, 2015 Terry...the Ford dually wheels/tires are great to me....could use a few more sets for projects. I let all of mine go in a junk box. I like the ones from the Midnite Cowboy wrecker, but those are rare.
disabled modeler Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 I let all of mine go in a junk box. I like the ones from the Midnite Cowboy wrecker, but those are rare. I am just the opposite Terry...LOL... I might still have a few Midnight Cowboy wheels/tires here somewhere? I have a few projects that are waiting for the Ford ones... motor home van tow truck etc.
tbill Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Mark, great score. I'm lucky enough to have one of those in my stash as well.

Ridgeback Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Lucky enough to score an unbuilt Orange Blossom puller truck for £20. I'm thinking of going with another body on it. I don't really know anything about this kit or puller trucks! But I'll see how it works out and put it on the workbench section.idea is to have it to go on my race car hauler

I don't really know anything about this kit or puller trucks! But I'll see how it works out and put it on the workbench section.idea is to have it to go on my race car hauler The Orange Blossom Special was one of the coolest and best looking pullers from the time period(1980s). It was built by Allen Gaines of Georgetown Kentucky. This kit is usually very expensive. I believe there were only three puller kits made in all. Heres a video of the real truck. http://youtu.be/ISBJKY8hwnM
Ridgeback Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Cheers for the video. My god that little trucks got some grunt! Its unusual to see a kit like this in the UK. We don't get much of a range here.
Chuck Most Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 I got one of the Orange Blossoms a few years ago for $40, which I considered a bargain compared to some prices I'd seen. I'm planning on putting a Revell '41 Chevy pickup body on the chassis.
dartman Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 This is no Challenge mixer, but one I've been wanting for a long time. Can I ask you how this kit was to build?
gatorincebu Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Can I ask you how this kit was to build? Alan, I have both the fith wheel trailer and the tag along. Both are very nice kits and go together well. However Take time to plan your build if you are going to do anything with the interior of the trailer. Be Well Gator
Petetrucker07 Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Like I need another, but you can never have enough. Picked up another Ca Hauler.
Old Buckaroo Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Like I need another, but you can never have enough. Picked up another Ca Hauler. Clayton, that sounds very familiar
Superpeterbilt Posted March 27, 2015 Author Posted March 27, 2015 Clayton, that sounds very familiar Sean that reminds me, Can I borrow a cup of KWs?
Fat Brian Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 That makes me not feel bad for buying two of everything.
Old Buckaroo Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Sean that reminds me, Can I borrow a cup of KWs? Walking beams or Hendo's ?
Petetrucker07 Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Clayton, that sounds very familiar I need to get a couple more of them Intertrashionals, and a couple of wreckers and couple of those KW COEs and and and and.....

tbill Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Paul, thanks, I fall into some cool stuff every now and again Sean, I like it! I got a few shelves that are starting to look like that. .....if 2 is good.......3 must be better,,,,,,,nope, odd number.......better get atleast one more.......then again, 6 is a nice round number..... that seems to be my shopping motto anyway.....haha......
Petetrucker07 Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Cases seem to be the right amount. Now it's gonna be how many cases do I need.
tbill Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Cases seem to be the right amount. Now it's gonna be how many cases do I need. I actually laughed out loud at that
