Here’s just some of the many 1/87 HO Custom trucks I’ve built over the years. Sadly most of all of these were sold on Sleezebay.

They're great Lee.
Thanks Rick. Back then it was all business and no keep.
Thanks Jim
Thanks Jay it’s a big challenge to work in this scale these days and one of the reasons I quit selling and the scalpers on Sleezebay that was stealing my ideas.
Some more pics from the ones I built.
Maybe it's just me but there's something romantic about big old American trucks. I probably listen to too much Country & Western, people like Boxcar Willie!!!
Some nice old trucks there Lee.....

Thanks Rick it’s a Ulrich I customize and made the decals for it.
Thanks Nick for the complement and stopping by.
No your absolutely right Jim being a 4th Generation trucker the romance was there when I was very young that’s all I ever known was trucks and trucking I was glad I got to ride with my dad when he had his tractor trailer I thought I was king of the hill at the age of 4 years old I’ll never forget it and I knew before that that I was going to be a trucker. Sadly that romance is almost gone with this new generation of American Truckers.
I also have had an early love of trucks. Likely because my Dad was a contracter & had a few. I remember my Dad tutoring me when I was about 10 on how if you can't see the trucks' mirrors he can't see you, to give him a toot to get his attention when passing, to flash lights to let him know he was past you & he could pull in safely, etc.
Ah yes Paul my dad taught me all of that and then some like hold a Log Book in your windshield when your on a two lane road to let the other truckers coming at you DOT back then it was the ICC is checking Log Books give them a big wave across your windshield to let them know it’s all clear behind you or give them a circular motion with your hand to tell them keep it wound up and the hammer down no cops or DOT behind you hold a two fingers up like a piece sign to let them know there a cop on the side with radar I can go on with all the hand signals my dad taught me when I was a kid.
