Spectacular build !

I agree with every one, this is a great build, he flaps on the front bumper is a real nice touch, and really makes the truck look like a worker.... excellent !

Hi guys, I asked this question on the Model Cars Magazine forum, but just in case, someone may not have seen it, I am wondering if anyone has a spare AITM Autocar backdated resin grille they may want to part with. I am doing the AMT Autocar dump truck as a heavy haul tractor, and would think it may be rather cool, to back date it a bit, if I can obtain a grille.... I am willing to pay as well.... probably asking for the moon, but one never knows unless one asks...

Now that the Tropical Storm has passed through finally, I'll be leaving on Thursday night Maine to Miami hopefully in 2 1/2 days.
I guess that's steady work...... our logging truck guys get paid by the load too, hence, that's why they crash with catastrophic results sometimes.... have a safe trip and send some pics of your journey, would be interesting for some of us who live 'up North'... safe travels..

I can't add anything new, I really enjoyed the pics, she does look the part, I really think the missing paint on the hood is a nice touch.... great build ..

a bit light on the back end, but the 12,000 f/a seems pretty much the going rate, BUT not for the loads this was intended to haul I would say....., still tho, if the frame was not beefed up, this would be the result anyway.... just a good thing it didn't happen going down a hill or on a freeway

Oh , man those are cool... thanks for sharing...

Obviously had light axles too...... oh I bet the driver was in the doo up to his ears......hope he had his seat belt on too.....
