I'm sure many of you know the famous Green Kenworth from Movin' On that was driven by Sonny Pruitt (Claude Akins), Well I am in the process of building that truck, so, here it is This is Where I am at so far, I converted the 3408 Cat into a VT-903 Cummins motor like the truck in the show had  These are the Real decals from JBot.ca, the AMT Kit decals really aren't actually like the truck on the show  I plan on having this truck and the Black Dog Peterbilt done at the same time right after the blue mule truck and trailer is done Thanks for taking a Look... |

Nice so far. If you want to be completely accurate, you actually need the AMT Kenworth hood as the truck in the TV series had the short hood, and the tandem torsion bar rear suspension. Finding the hood, well, good luck; but P&P Resin has the suspension, as does Melbourne Model Truck Accessories.

Like "Movin' On II", or a Movin' On tribute truck. Good idea.

If you want the shorter hood The Revell snap KW has it and it will match right up to the AMT/Revell glue kits.

It looks real nice .
How much did you stretch the frame and where did you get the sleeper ?
