Looks awesome, Brian - is this a transkit for the old amt Ford Cabover or a scratch-built conversion?

Thanks! It is a transkit of 3d printed parts for the AMT Ford C cab. You have to fill in the headlights and cut off the bottom and rear section of the cab. It came from a seller on Ebay that goes by “modelerrob.” I put this one on the 4070A frame with the Hendrickson suspension from an old Ertl S series.

What year of truck would this represent? I like what you are doing with this kit.

Doing some digging (https://www.renderhub.com/driverua/ford-h-series-hdt-950-semi-truck-sleeper-cab-1961)and found the year as a 1961. The kit you bought represents the truck really well.

Nice two story Falcon!

Great new project, I like it! The transkit looks like a very nice conversion piece. A future fleet of Ryders?

Thanks guys!

 I do like Ryder trucks. This would be my second Ryder build in the past couple of years. A fleet is not out of the question.

Good choice for a Ryder rig, they bought a lot of Fords in the 60's-70's.
