leafsprings Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 One of my favorite kits, with plenty of build potential. Easily back dated '57 thru '73. '74 thru '90 used wider fenders. Here is a version rarely seen, special order CT series. I heard these were built as single axle trucks at the Ford assembly plant and driven to Hendrickson for the tandem conversion. This one begs for a heavy duty trash compactor. body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are both converted for use as RVs, recreational vehicles. One has a boat stowed in its belly, too.

leafsprings Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Custom Cab interior for early '70's AMT kit. Note the white steering wheel still being used. Ford went to black wheels for all cabs around 1977. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1930fordpickup Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Classic Ford Transport Vehicle Is it a bus? Is it a semi-truck? Well, it’s actually a bit of both! This unique Ford vehicle was once used at the Zurich airport to take passengers to and from their terminals. It now sits on display at the Swiss Transportation Museum in Luzern. We wouldn’t mind taking a ride in this thing the next time we head to the airport! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'site where you found the image does not allow hotlinking, so in cases lie that, you have to save it, then upload it directly here to the forum. I wonder if this truck was once used as a firefighting rig at the airport? Not sure if that's a giant nozzle on the roof of the cab or not.

Ace-Garageguy Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) Interesting axle setup... Edited October 4, 2018 by Ace-Garageguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atmobil Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) I have seen pusher-axle setups on more modern european trucks but did not know that is was also used in the states back in the day. On the modelside of thing I have just started a little work on a C-series kit, not AMTs one but a 1:87 (H0) one made in Denmark by Heljan Con-cor: I stole this picture from anohter site as I do not have any pictures of the kit myself yet but I will post some of it later. It is a neat little kit with tilting cab and moving ramps on the trailer. I got it for free when I bought some other kits at the Norwegian Challenge modelshow some weeks ago. And here is a picture of a built one:http://www.87thscale.info/models_by_Jean-Marc_Bergez.htm Edited October 5, 2018 by Atmobil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For clean, unstarted kits, they often bring as much or more than 1/25 scale truck kits these days. Lotsa moolah for a tiny model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seller that gave this to me had tried to sell it for 50 Kroner (6$ in today exchange rate) and had not been able to sell it. When I looked at the kit at the same time as buying a couple of others he said I could have that as a bonus on the deal. If Revell released them one could hope that the molds are not destroyed and that they could some day be reissued again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
