I looked through my pictures I don't have any pictures of that truck but I remember it it was a beauty. It had a KT 600 cummins in it.

Really? I thought this one had the 12V71 in it. Hence the "Buzzin' Dozen" and the bees on the hood.

Mark,
You must have been readin' my mind. I thought you might have pictures of it.
JimB,
No help there I guess. Mark came on before I could get a hold of him.

Ah, well, no big deal. I managed to get a couple of pics off of Hank's. There's actually a very short clip of it on YouTube as well, which is how I got the idea in the first place. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bcfRuMr_PY |

Very nice Jim. Love the lines of the W-900 A cab, classy.
Keep going

Thanks, Rick. And now that it's warming up enough over the next few day for me to spray, I'm going to be in Washington D.C.! I know as soon as I get back it'll be cold again. Oh, well! Fall in Central New York.

I was really hoping to have a better update for you guys on this since it's been 3-1/2 years since I worked on this. Some of that was due to painting issues, but that's neither here nor there. Anyway, since I pulled this one off the "Shelf of Shame" to try & finish it up it has been a real fight! Seems like every time I glue something on, something falls off! I went to glue the cab on, and the left fuel tank broke off causing the hood to fall off. Ok, so the hood wasn't such a big deal as I was going to take that off anyway, but I would have like to do it a little more gently. Then, trying to get the fuel tank back on, the air tank falls off! So I finally get everything glued back on (except the hood), and I manage to get the mirrors, marker lights, & horns on. I go to glue the air cleaners on, and they don't fit! The piping is too short. Not a total disaster since I can't get them to say on anyway, and in working with the air cleaners & piping, the engine breaks loose. Moving on to the exhaust system, I was trying to line up the exhaust tubing with the stacks and the cab falls off. It almost went across the room at that point. So, here is where it's at. I really hope it won't be another 3-1/2 years before the next update.  Note air cleaner on the bench & not on the truck!  Well, the mirrors, marker lights, & horns look good. |

I know the feeling, Jim. That's the luck I was having when rebuilding my Astro. It looks good so far. I like that shade of blue.
