Chuck Most Posted June 11, 2022 Posted June 11, 2022 I wanted to build a ratty hot rod shop truck, or a semi tractor. I had an incomplete Stevens International reissueAMT Autocar A64B so I decided to do both. Power is a Detroit V12, a combination of AMT and GW Trucks parts. Wheels are from the infamous Peterbilt 352 Turnpiker with Revell tires. Fronts are the float tires from a Revell Bill Signs Peterbilt, and the rears are from a 1:16 scale Revell Jeep CJ. Oddly enough, the Jeep tires are the same as the 1:25 Peterbilt tires except that they're slightly taller. The rear single air suspension was made from various spare parts and air bags made from plastic tubing. The AMT Haulaway Trailer is mostly box stock apart from wheels and tires to match the tractor. Junkers are (top row front to back)... 1976 International Scout II, 1953 Ford F100, and a 1970 Ford Custom. Lower deck front to rear consists of a 1975 AMC Matador and a 1962 Chevrolet Impala. 3
OldTrucker Posted June 11, 2022 Posted June 11, 2022 Chuck, you never cease to amaze me with your builds!
Pierre Rivard Posted June 13, 2022 Posted June 13, 2022 I thought the first picture was a 1/1 reference! Through the roof authentic, all of it! Inspirational

Mopar - D Posted June 16, 2022 Posted June 16, 2022 Awesome build Chuck. So what happens during the half hour of no road service?
Bills72sj Posted June 18, 2022 Posted June 18, 2022 That is quite and eclectic group of vehicles. Well done.
stavanzer Posted December 1, 2022 Posted December 1, 2022 Cool Build, Chuck! Your usual superb weathering, and great subjects.
Bruce Scully Posted December 7, 2022 Posted December 7, 2022 This is a great looking build , a lot of nice detail work, it all looks so right , well done.
J.B. Customs Posted December 21, 2022 Posted December 21, 2022 I had not seen a autocar on the road in years and seen a grain hauler (old farmer) come through the plant with one last year was coolest thing I had seen in a long time it was pretty used you could say, welded up diamond plate front fenders, heavy daytons, and plenty of rust. I must say I really like your build
