[@markbickelhaupt4414]

Ben, Great video! I agree with you Dave Natalie & Gary Wallace were some of the greats in the Model Truck building hobby! Taken away too soon. I knew Gary for about 40 years or so. Way before he started casting truck parts. He always had many ideas to make parts for everyone. Dave was the one that took Jim Etter's cab business and ran with the ball!!! Thanks for what you do!!!

[@mrsunshine8753]

Thank you so much for your knowledge and your humble advice to the rest of us. We need so many more kind souls in the hobby!

[@jeffreyn.greene6233]

Wow what a couple great Fords. I hope Dave will pour these. I have one of the cabove Internationals. Thanks Ben

Ben good to see you back at it my friend. Yes Gary was a great guy to work with met him a few times at different shows. Him and Dave are missed.

The Ford is really cool! One thing that I’d love to see in the model truck world is some medium duty trucks, some Chevy C-60’s, and some Ford F-600’s would be great, I don’t know why the manufacturers never really done much with that category, it’s a void that I wish someone would fill.

Very enjoyable video/model building chat. That ford w9000 cab is like the one I drove in the 70s and your sleeper detail is right on. I always thought the sleeper walls were high class for a Ford but I loved that about those Fords while all through the day day it beating me to a pulp. Backaches 24/7/365---- always! Hendrickson suspension on a short wheelbase. But I still want to build one of your cabs on the new 4070 air ride chassis nice length too. Get it Cast!

I hate the fuel tank seams when they leave them on that drives me nuts! And when they don’t black wash the grill mesh and leave it chrome that’s terrible too!

[@modelrestorations]

Just found you - subd! Great channel and builds!

[@Twist23567]

I hate the seams not only on fueltanks and the engine, also in springs, frontaxle etc. I always sand the off... Great tips and the Fords are great.

[@roynix3068]

Glad to have found your channel and like so many other builders here I find your tips and tricks invaluable, But I just wanted to add a little real world truck knowledge to what you said about tanks not having seams you are correct about model tanks and the way that they are made the seam does not belong or are made with a horizontal seam but with that said I had a 1996 Ford LTL9000 Aeromax ordered it with 2 500 gal. fuel tanks one per side but we took the passenger side tank cut it in half welded in a divider then welded the tank back together and made 2 aprox. 250 gal. tanks out of the one and plumbed the back half of said tank for Hydraulic oil for a wet kit for the goose neck of my lowboy trailer. So I ended up with a vertical seam around my tank it was highly polished to a mirror but still you could see a seam I did it that way so I didn't have that unsightly plastic tank that Muncie supplied with their wet kits that was supposed to be mounted on the catwalk behind the sleeper. It was one of 3 Trucks that I showed at the MidAmerica Truck Shows in Louisville Ky. under working class so on a couple of my truck build I incorporated the same seam on them just because I always thought what we done was pretty cool on how to hide a Hyd. tank
