That is sweet!

I grew up 30 miles away from the Ertl factory and I used to get AMT kits for practically nothing all the time at their outlet store, 50 cents, 2 bucks, whatever. That one looks a little before my day though.

sorry, i struck out. my kenworth models are there, but the boxes are gone. they've been built for 25+ years already, so......

the only other rig i have is a cab over type with a single rear axle.

that guys name should be one for the complaints dept. Sorry to hear that one Tim...some guys think they gotta have gold for their stuff. I've got a neighbor with a bunch in storage and he's gonna check it out here when he gets a chance but it might be awhile. If he has something though I'll drop a line to ya...
