My GM Motor Pool:
(The GM logo will forever remain in CAPITAL LETTERS, for me anyway ~ Thank you very much. What a farcical waste of money and effort on the part of the company ~ money they don’t have!)
Water Tanker and Fire Tender:
Combo of Italeri water truck and Tamiya cab, hood & fenders.
.
CCKW LWB Gun Truck:
Combination of Tamiya Deuce and Italeri Gun Truck Cab, Hood & Fenders.
.
AFKWX COE (Prototype):
Combo of all Tamiya parts: CCKW base chassis + Extra Load Box + Fenders and Hood from a Long Range Desert Truck.
(I call this a “prototype” as I realize this design does not conform to the appearance of the actual production GM cab and fender design.)
.
My Baby Deuce: One and a Half Ton Chevy Cargo Truck.
Chopped down Tamiya Deuce chassis and loadbox with Italeri Water Truck Cab.
.
Deuce and a Half, or just Half a Deuce:
Combo of two axle Armored Scout Car and CCKW chassis.
.
Chevy Semi-Tractor and 4 ton Trailer:
Chopped down Tamiya Deuce and Scratch Built trailer.
Found out only later that these tractors were built ONLY with the enclosed cab.
New enclosed cab version of tractor now under construction.
Trailer has working, foldable parking wheels.
Currently in the Works:
Converted Railroad Locomotive:
.
Grasshopper Transport:
Tamiya chassis, Italeri cab and Bronco Aircraft.
In case it is not obvious:
The Italeri hard cab and fenders are almost an exact drop-in replacement for the Tamiya open cab. Just lose the Tamiya full engine and settle for the Italeri “oil pan only” engine. Or with a little more work you can have the full engine in there as well!
