Diesel Jockey Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 I have just read that the Great Dane Extendable Flatbed Trailer, AMT 1111 has been listed for a future release.
Little Timmy Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 Thank God !!! I have been wanting one of these since I built one in 1984. I haven't seen one since. I'll take three ... PLEASE !!!
Truck parts Posted April 22, 2018 Posted April 22, 2018 That s great new to hear, I has plan s on how to make it a drop deck out of it and the lowboy
SpreadAxle Posted May 5, 2018 Posted May 5, 2018 Excellent. This kit lends itself well for conversion into a drop deck.

tbill Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 Haha, don’t worry, I have one of those too, so it shouldn’t be too much longer for that to be reissued
gotnitro? Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 Thanks tom..how about buying a couple kenworth transit challenger mixers for your collection...
OldTrucker Posted June 22, 2018 Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) I have an opened original release kit in the closet that I scored on ebay in 2005 for 25 bucks to the door! Pulled a few of the 1:1's from Chicago to up around the Detroit area in the early 90's! Edited June 22, 2018 by OldTrucker
pcm1977 Posted August 26, 2018 Posted August 26, 2018 Does anybody know what is going on with this kit? Also can this kit be used for a standard flatbed? I have been looking for a regular flatbed, but don't want to pay $75 for it. Thanks
drinkone2 Posted August 26, 2018 Posted August 26, 2018 The new release hasn't shown up on ebay or the local hobby shops yet, but the round 2 YouTube video shows it coming back this fall, along with the Mack DM800 and the Peerless logging trailer. It can be used as a standard flatbed if it's not extended. I built an original kit back in the 90's as a covered wagon. W900 & Great Dane covered wagon by Jim Gavin, on Flickr
steel_tiger1 Posted September 8, 2018 Posted September 8, 2018 Kit is at distributors. Won't be long now. Mine are en route to the store.

Madd Trucker Posted October 18, 2018 Posted October 18, 2018 Ben I will try to if not I will give a description of them
Joe Thomas Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 The finished kit. It was an easy build other than the cross bars on the extension superstructure not lining up exactly. The long deck was warped but my darling wife reminded me that flatbed trucks have a hump to not sag when loaded. The load is 7/8 diameter wooden dowels painted to look like pipes. The red plastic ends are Caplugs used where i work to seal the ends of copper tubes during transit to our building. Hold-down chains and rub rail hooks are from Hobby Lobby. Straps to hold the load together are rubber bands painted black with a Sharpie. A Mack DM800 is on the shelf to be constructed to pull the rig. Also a pic of the kit decals. Enjoy, Joe
niteowl7710 Posted October 27, 2018 Posted October 27, 2018 Glad to see it has Oversized load decals in addition to the Wide Load ones that Round2 was advertising. As it's certainly Oversized (by length), but it's by no means too wide
Joe Thomas Posted October 27, 2018 Posted October 27, 2018 The Oversize Load decals measure 3 1/8 x 5/8 in.
Joe Thomas Posted February 19, 2019 Posted February 19, 2019 Complete th DM800 to go with the trailer. Overall length is 3 feet.
