weathered 1972 Kenworth

[kodiakmodeler]

I've got a few pictures of a 1972 Kenworth that's got some heavy weathering. I thought that I'd share some pictures for those that might be interested in weathering models.



This is a view as it sits. The ocean is just behind the building to the back of the truck. Therefore, there's a lot of salt in the air.



The view from the front. It doesn't look like it's ready for any truck shows.



A closer look at the front.



Note the wires hanging from the headlight. This is an often overlooked detail.



Note the offset weathering on the step. This is all for now. I do have some more pictures, but I don't want to overstep my welcome. I also don't know if anybody is even interested in pictures of this subject. If you want more, please say so, and I'll post some more. I have some of the interior and dash.

Wow! That truck sure has taken a beating in it's life. I guess their right, it's tougher in Alaska! Does that truck still run?

No, it's sat for years, and the owner is talking about cutting it up in a month or so. It's a shame, but it's really rotted bad.

Thanks for shoing us the weathered truck. It's a good reference for anyone wanting to model the truck sitting on death row. It gives me some ideas.

i know the feeling tho i missed out on a "C" series international recently,i had a friend go look it over to see wht it was like,he said it was in good condition for its age and still ran when a donor battery was put in,i planned on making the trip and looking an buying myself the next week but unfortunately the scrap guys spotted it and offered him its weight in scrap value,wasnt happy,lol
that said would be interested in seeing more pics if you have them
