"custom designed and hand built to your specifications" Paul, this truckmaker is small enough that they have the flexibility to build whatever you want. http://tlinetrucks.com/custom-chassis/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmyb Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I hope they kick some goals with this truck. Great little idea and it'll give some of the bigger manufacturers something to think about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superdog405 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I own 4 western star gliders and love them, but that is alot cheaper ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james j neiweem Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Mack mechanical E-6 350, E-7 400, E9 500 with Mack 18 speed, or Allison auto and Mack rears with camel backs or Hendrickson suspension might be a start. Aluminum cab to boot lasts a long time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeamsterGrrrl Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 That's an attractive price, unlike some of the not much cheaper that new fleet prices I've been hearing for the other glider makers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

57 bcr Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 A good friend (and REO, Diamond T and Diamond Reo collector) paid this same guy like $500.00 to build him a model of one of his trucks. He paid the money, but never got the model. Makes me wonder if you would have to pre-pay for one these models,and take the chance of not getting it?

BillyT Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 The new glider kit may be well constructed,but it's overall styling just looks generic to me! The grille is atrocious! I believe they could have just reproduced the old 114 with the white cab! Just an opinion! They might have to fasten the diamond t emblem with some space age adhesive,as I feel it may try to jump off in shame!😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
