GATEWAY CONCO



International Conco. An odd tractor that IHC devised for fleet use in the mid 1970's A combination of a conventional and a cabover. A Transtar 4100 series. I used a cab from a Paystar Mixer kit, scratchbuilt the front hood and fenders. The donor chassis is from an old built-up Transtar. This explains why the rear axle doesn't touch the ground!
DIAMOND REO


Diamond Reo tractor with crane. This is a rebuild of one of my own trucks. I accidentally dropped it, ruing what was once a red and black double-sleeper highway tractor.

HAYES CLIPPER


1975 Hayes Clipper Cabover. Rick Mark of RNK Conversions
sent me
a copy of the 1975 Hayes Clipper brochure.

This was the last year for Canadian built Hayes, PACCAR bought them and shut them down. In their last year, they used the Peterbilt cabover cab, modifying it, and mounting it on a Hayes chassis. I scratch built the grille, modified the cab, and used an AMT Peterbilt chassis with modified battery box and fuel tanks.
MACK B

Mack B75 in it's first version. I later rebuilt this, weathering it, modifying some items.



The down and dirty version of the Mack and 2 axle dump trailer.
353 MIXER

Peterbilt 353 heavy mixer. I used the Revell cab, scratchbuilt fenders, modified hood, resin wheels and front tires, RNK toolboxes, scratchbuilt lift axle. The mixer is the Rex unit from a broken down Mack DM800 mixer.
I entered this truck in my first contest (as an adult). The truck took Best of Show at the Sault Area Modelers show in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan in the spring of 2000. Proud? You bet!
FLEETSTAR MIXER


International Harvester Fleetstar mixer. An MTFA resin cab on the Paystar Mixer kit. Resin tool boxes from RNK.
W925

Kenworth W925. Some modifications, smaller fuel tanks, RNK Conversions cab guard, small amount of weathering.
TWO STORY FALCON

1961 Ford HDT1000 cabover, called "the 2-story Falcon" by truckers back then. It wasn't a complment.
Ford used a modified C-series cab, mounted it higher up, added fiberglass fenders and other componants and had themselves a class 8 cabover.
Mine is a resin conversion from Spaulding Trading and Shipping on a Short Hauler kit chassis, tandem suspension, the drom box is from a junked AMT Moving Van kit.

The truck in this photo gave me the inspiration for mine. The N/A Logos came from this photo too. I scanned them in, englarged them, corrected the perspective, and printed them to size.
Ooo-la-la!

The inspiration for my KW Aerodyne


This truck was my first attempt at a mulpi-color paint scheme.
