          This Ford truck was built from a dump truck snow-plow kit...the snow plow, dump bed were discarded, then the truck was converted to be a truck tractor...the tractor package except for the fifth wheel, was scratch built.       Don Parrish

             Peterbilt 351 extended hood and a spread axle trailer that I built a few years ago...it has a 3406 Cat in it...this is the first truck model that I built from wood and totally scratch built. A lot of things I did building this I do different now...that's the fun of it though, learning as you go.     Gary Akers

       Peterbilt 282 with double grain trailers...the tractor is a AMT pete 352 made into a 2 axle (282)...truck has a Cat 3406 engine in it from the Revell snap pete 359 kit...trailers are mostly scratch built using only the side panels cut up for the hopper sides, and the suspensions and wheels.  Tarps are cut up material, added extra lights, mud flap weights.  Truck was loosely patterned after the 282 from the Pterebilt brochure with the Wicall grain truck.     Leo

                  This started as the California Hauler Peterbilt...I used resin 5 hole wheels from Mo 'Luminum and a resin 351 conversion...this is built as a curbside.  I used the reissue Freuhauf flatbed trailer...chains and binders are photoetch...steel roll is adding machine paper painted with Testors Metalizer paint...added some detail to bulk board...and did my best on the wood floors.       Jim Brown

         RD Mack Roll-off AITM rear suspension axles, wheels and stack, scratch built frame...sunvisor, bugshield, American roll-off rail.     Frank Rich

         The cab is AITM along with the wheels, the box was built from a trailer dump kit, motor and airlines are both fully plumbed.     Patrick LaForge

                     This is the Volvo N 670 and the AMT flatbed painted to match. The truck has in the interior a wide screen tv, computer, microwave and real blanket material and pillows for the bedding...also it has train horns mounted behind the tanks and a homemade full headache rack...the flashers are mirror mounted just like the Alaskan trucks...also the Qual-com at the back of the cab.  The flatbed is built stock except with a few extra cross members to make a real heavy haul flatbed.  Pete Black
