I would love to see a 1/25th scale GI rig. I have tried forever to get photo's from my neighbor when I was a youngen. They ran GI rigs right after the war. Red body, black fenders and several were sans top or with a soft top like a roadster pickup. They still have a trucking company that hauls over the road but after several tries over a year and a half I gave up to the empty promises.

The road building company my dad worked for started out with three 1943s International GI trucks that they turned into dumptrucks. In fact I have two of the three sitting in my field one is beyound fixing up but the other could be with the right amount of know how and MONEY  I will see about pulling them out of the weeds and getting a few pics posted in a week or so.

Dave That would be fantastic! I do like the look of the IH version of the 2 1/2, they all shared the same running gear, just different cab options whether it was GMC, Studebaker, International and so on. If you can, take photos of the cab & hood area, straight on side & front views, along with top & underside of hood, fenders, cab interior & so on. Don't when it will happen, but either way it would be great fun to do. Ap40 |

I will get some pics for you just to let you know these two are not in the best of shape but I will get some pics for you.
I am bringing the loader from my work home next weekend to do some clearing work and I will tow the trucks out of the bushes so I can get some better pics.
