Gary Chastain Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 (edited) This build took most of last year and a month this year to complete. Two truck kits were used, the AMT Kenworth and the AMT Kenworth Canepa T600. Frame stretched, third axle added, 60inch sleeper fabricated from a 30 inch sleeper from a GMC General kit. The rear suspension was corrected, front suspension corrected and added wider front rims/tires. Grill was corrected and molded into hood as original. The trailer started a an AMT Lowboy kit. It has been stretched to 40ft, wooden deck and 10 hole wheels. Standing tank was fabricated completely from scratch. My fleet continues to grow.
