    Nicely done! The CAT fits great, after a bunch of tweaking I'll bet!

    Thanks! The engine is tilted to the passenger side (angle is based off a a Cummins photo because it was the only "out of truck" picture that I could find). Going off of reference photos, the turbo was lowered slightly and the fuel filter assembly was moved. I also filled in all of the hollow spots in the snap engine.

    This started with the AMT L8000 car hauler kit. The 3406 Cat is from one of the snap kits. The tanks and front wheels are from Auslowe, The tires are from doubletake, and the decals are from modeltruckin.

    This one is meant to represent around an 80 model Cruiseliner. It s mostly box stock. It was converted to a single stack. The headlight buckets were modified to represent a later model than the kit. The front bumper is an old R Model bumper from the parts box. The grill and cab fans are from Double Take. The air ram on the intake and the deck plate is from moluminum. The wheels are old Clint Freeman wheels. The drive tires are resin from an unknown source.

    First saw this build over at MCM  but could not comment on it because while they allowed me to join I still cannot post. (OldTrucker there too)

    I have only seen one of these in my life time and it was in a truck bone yard when I was a kid and there wasn't much left of it then.

    This is a great example of how todays trucks had started to evolve!

    Beautiful job!

    Thanks!!!
