If they would just fix that problem, I could live with the rest of the re-engineering needed.

I’m assuming this SD/DD kit would enable other different variants like a sleeperless “day” cab on a dual drive chassis.

I’d also like to second Rick Chupa’s comment. I would probably definitely buy an all inclusive 2-in-1 or 3-in-1 version of, say, the Peterbilt conventional with California Hauler parts as well as the sleeper. I’d also go for a Kenworth W-925 with the Alaskan Hauler parts included and maybe “Movin’ On” decals. (Why so long without any re-issue of the W-925?)

The Challenge Mixer and Holmes Wrecker body could be offered as add-on “parts packs.” (Hope the Challenge Mixer molds still exist…) Lots of possibilities/variants for the Ford Louisville also.

Glad to have this one with fresh artwork and decals. This would be a great way to repackage the Peterbilt 359/352 as well ! You could also do the Ford Ln/Lnt , Kenworth W925/ K123 , Autocar etc .etc. Lots of us old timers are likely to buy more to pad the parts boxes ! How about the Challenge mixer guys!!!

Is there gonna be two different releases of this kit.?….
I’ve seen Boxart showing the truck in Brown, and then again in Red….
I’m thinking we are gonna get a second release with a completely different decal set and a pop up display….
Anyone know for sure.?….
