I was given a bag recently containing the `remains` of a Kenworth Aerodyne. The model looked as if it had been dropped from the top of a tall building. The man who gave it to me said that it had been in his loft for at least 20 years. I was amazed to be able to download the instructions for this truck, together with a full set of decals. I don`t know what other members feel, but I`ve had far more satisfaction repairing broken parts etc. than I`ve ever had from a box-stock build.   |

I've been just going through the old sites reading, can't get sleepy tonight..and ran across this treasure chest you got and was just wondering what you ever did with it!....Neat old KW with a what looks like a Cat Engine? Huh?...Beautiful old KW Cab over, three axle, great wheels! I hate the old, what we call them California Wheels!(Spokes) I think their ugly even if theyve been chromed...Those wheels here on this model are the best looking, as they were the first tubeless tire Rim's too, the old tube type just never did it for me..."Once we got tubeless, you could just screw a larger than the nail, sheet metal screw into the hole and fill it back up with air from your air supply for the brakes and keep on truck'n till you got to a truck stop to get it fixed...You Didn't have to stop and sit for hours waiting for a tire repair truck to come fix your flat and charge $30.00 plus to fix it.....We never had tire tools to even single out a tire to run on in to a truck stop..If the flat was on the inside tire, you couldn't single it out you had to sit and wait!...Tubless was the best thing ever to happen to us... 
Okay just wondering..I'll bump this up to the top so you'll see it....
