Good news! Illini Replica Conversions is back. There are curently six conversions available (and probably more to follow). The conversions available are:
1960's Hendrickson R Model
1960's International Emeryville daycab
1960's International Emeryville COE (72" cab)
Late 1950's Diamond T 921 COE
1959 Kenworth low mount narrow nose
1955 Kenworth high mount narrow nose

Currently all conversions are listed at $70.

Figured you'd like to know.

Wow. Now there's a name I haven't heard in a while.

Good to have them back! Thanks for the heads up, Jim.

Link corrected.

I'd really like those Kenworths! Is it my imagination, or is that Daimand-T 921C just an ugly design? I've seen worse.

Yes, Dave at AITM is hosting the photo catalog for Bob over at Illini Replicas, but that's all.

I'm reall hoping to see the Dodge Bighorn & Kenworth Bullnose conversions come back.
