Awesome work!! -
Thanks so much Gary!!

This was a resin conversion from an unknown caster. The chassis was made from spare parts.
-
This one started with a Superboss kit. It is powered by a twin turbo 8v-92.
-
This began with a A.I.T.M. Cab. It has an 8v-71 Detroit, Clint Freeman 2 hole Budds, Double Take steer tires and Scenes Unlimited drive tires.

Thanks Victor! The ones of these that I usually worked on were gas burner 700 series, but vertical much similar. I’m not terribly tall, I would have to climb up on one of these and then almost stand on my head to reach back down to work on the engine. Sometimes I just climbed up and sat under the hood.

Thanks Brian! I always liked how these trucks looked, I just hated working on the ones that didn’t have a tilt front end.
-
I like the paint scheme and the 4 door cab! Nice work!
-
Thanks Brian!! Thanks Victor!!

AITM cab, Hideout kit chassis and modified bed.

This is the Strao-models Autocar DC 75/100 kit. The decals are thanks to Charles Rowley.
-
This is built on an AMT Chevrolet Titan chassis. It is powered by a 903 Cummins. The caster of the cab is unknown, but was probably an amateur. The drive tires are my last Clint Freeman tires.
-
Thanks! I don’t know the reason, but that is one of the reasons that I put duals on this one. Ford actually did them this way, so I thought that it would be a neat detail to put on this build.

Thanks!!
-
Very cool Chuck!! Did you use the engine from the C cab?
-
Looks great! I like the weathering!
-
Thanks Chuck! Thanks! Charles is on this forum under the name “Chariots of fire.” You can send him a pm.

I think 49 was the last year for this cab, but a friend of mine had one with the newer cab and I think that he said that it was a 49. With that said, I assume 49 was the transition year. I’m going to say post war to 49 model. In my research it seems like very few Autocars are exactly the same.

Thanks Johnny! Thanks Victor! I’ve only seen a tread pattern like this once in an old picture of an old International. I picked up these drive tires from a supplier on Ebay. The sleeper has a button tuck bed cushion.

Peterbilt 358 twin stick 1100 cab

I truly don’t remember where the wheels and tires came from, but I probably picked them up second hand on Ebay. -
This is my current project. Amt 359 kit with Bill Drennen hood conversion. Power will be 8v-71 Detroit backed by a Spicer 4x4 transmission.
