...I figured one of the Diamond Reo aficionados would have chimed in by now...   Take a look at the 1960's era Diamond Reo Gold Comets, I think you will find what your looking for   

I have the interior of the stacker mostly complete. I decided on grey walls, with stainless and black cabinets. I figured I had to do the interior work, with the exception of final details and trim, ahead of the exterior, for painting purposes. I couldn’t mask and paint the various finishes with the exterior walls in place. I had to get the sidewalls basically finished up first. So, I got to work on the side entry door. I was able to make it operational by sandwiching small brass hinges into the framework. Adding finish styrene trim and the door skin, it fits snug and smooth. I painted the aluminum/stainless surfaces with Revell Chrome and Spaz Stix Clearcoat. The rubber coin flooring got a coat of Tamiya rubber black.  The front workshop area started with cabinets from BCS Trading, but I customized them, adding a workbench top, and skinned them in styrene and chrome paint to represent stainless steel. I also modified a washer and dryer I got a while back on shapeways. Some large RVs are equipped with a stackable washer combo inside them, but I always thought it could be put in the stacker instead, freeing up interior space. In a custom stacker, anything goes.
 The “attic” has rub rails and e-track tie downs, along with an operational drop gate to connect with the lift. Next, I’ll begin work on the rear ramp door, the roof, and trim work. The interior will need a lot of detail parts, too. Then, exterior finishing.

I’m sorry nobody on this forum, including myself, is able to identify that truck. May I suggest posting it on the model cars magazine forum? I bet there’s somebody there that can help.

Hello everyone I wanted to reach out for some assistance in Identifying which Reo Diamond truck this may be exactly since ive been told it could be a C-101 which im not sure entirely die to lack of knowledge.  and I seem to not find any  specifications online on the truck besides brochures for sale.

It’s been a few months, but here’s another update…completed the stacker trailer flooring, lift, and one of the interior walls. 
I used 1/24 rubber coin flooring from Plastruct. I wanted a different look from the typical diamond plate, and it gave me the opportunity to elevate the photo-etched “track-style” tie down system from Tom’s Modelworks.  The diamond plate will stay put in the side door step well and the floor winch door.
The 3d printed lift is from BCS Trading on eBay. At a scale 14’ long, it was pretty close to what I wanted as is, but I had to narrow it a little by removing the mounts on the lift deck. I added pins, and as a bonus, it’s removable. The deck can be positioned in the up position, or laid on the floor for loading. The lift columns will mount plumb against the interior walls.
The left sidewall is now complete. I added “studs” to the .040” exterior sheet, then the inside wall was added, along with the frame for the non-operating escape door above the wheel well. It’s pretty sturdy, as it needs to support the body. I’m planning a removable roof for display purposes. Next up, the other sidewall, front cap and rear door. I’ll also be working on the cabinets. I’ll prime and paint the floor, lift, and interior, too.

...Finally got enough work done on the packer body worthy of posting....   Got the under body control valve assembly plumbed.  Used 24 gauge floral wire for the hydraulic lines.  I've began some subtle weathering in spots and taped off the areas that need to stay white.  All the packer bodies coming off of the Garwood assembly line were painted white, which makes things a lot easier as far as a build goes.   Electrical conduit for rear lights on the hopper...located between the hydraulic lines and the under body control valve assembly.....flexible section to be tied in to the trucks electrical system later.   Since I am going to be displaying this with the packer body roof off at shows, I added a support rib at the rear of the body to support the race way for the rubber hydraulic lines (3) and the metal electrical conduit.  The electrical conduit line is already attached.       

Hello everyone and welcome to the start of another Peterbilt 359 snapper build thread. I have built several of these over the years and always am satisfied with my satisfactory builds. This one will be the most detailed one I have ever attempted. I will pirate some parts from the AMT Peterbilt Wrecker Re-pop to incorporate in this build. As always the color choice, and brand/type of paint is a struggle for me until I finally pin it down. Although I am probably leaning towards Acrylic lacquers (either Tamiya, or Testors One Coat's)  That being said the start of this will be shelved until the temperature gets lower as I've tried to paint some parts earlier this week with some less than stellar results. Will post from time to time.

Update on the build. Took a ton of time off since my last post. Here it is with the stripes laid down. Then with decaling done, and the frame in semi gloss black.

Can’t offer any help, but may I suggest asking over at the Model Cars Magazine forum? It gets a lot more traffic and I’m sure there’s a truck guy over there that has built those kits.

To all, Hello and hope everyone is well. I have two AMT KW Conventional kits both bought within the last year. One purchased last May is the Alaskan Hauler, and the other is the W900 Challenge mixer. I know of the traditional issues involving the windows, and the rear suspension so that being said if anyone has built either, or both I could use pictures for reference on both of these kits. For the Alaskan I have already removed the left side air cleaner port, and filled in the holes for the left side exhaust stack. Have assembled the butterfly hood. Obviously I am going with the Hill & Hill livery. Just have to score the Green paint, and the Red paint. As far as the Challenge mixer goes I am unsure if I am building it as the mixer, or as an over the road tractor. If I go the tractor route I do have all the parts for a Mercury sleeper box. These in addition to the two AMT CO4070A's, and the Peterbilt 359 California Hauler in the stash should keep me busy. For a while. The true test is to avoid going on websites, or into Hobby Shops and picking anymore kits that I have no time to build. LOL. Thank you for looking. Kind regards, Jersee Jerry 55
