1960's International Emeryville COE (72" cab)
Late 1950's Diamond T 921 COE

Currently all conversions are listed at $70.
Figured you'd like to know.

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.
