I can remember going to the '72 Chicago Auto Show with my Dad and a buddy.We got to sit in Chevy's display Titan/90.There is a b&w photo of the truck on Hank's. We walked away shruggin' our shoulders sayin',"it aint no "!! LOL! 1 Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

vision386 Posted July 21, 2013 Author Share Posted July 21, 2013 Hey Mark,You should build a model of it! All the parts are available.Cheers Mate,Been getting some parts together for a model of a 1:1 Astro I drove for Atlas Van Lines,i only need the newer style wide grille,i have found it is also available in photoetch,but it is from Europe somewhere? I think it is the Modelmaker shop? or something like that. Just a little reluctant to order without know about exchange rates,shipping etc. you are right though,that Asrto would be a killer model! wouldn't be all that difficult either!................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

h67st Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 That is one beautiful truck. My dad had an Astro in the 70's, I prefered the Macks but I did like the tilt wheel and panoramic view from the driver's seat in the Astro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry T Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I think the owner was posting progress pic's of that on the ATHS site when he began the project. I had forgotten about that project until now. The father of a friend of mine back in our high school days had an Astro with a droolin' dozen in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike69mackman Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Dumb question but that v12 or 12v was not a factory install was it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2stacksuperdog Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 They put V12s in Brockways and R700s Quote Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumperAndSon Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Dumb question but that v12 or 12v was not a factory install was it?It was. Over the production of the Astro/Titan, you get one factory with a 6-71N, 6V92TA, 8V71N, 8V92TA, or 12V71N.Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike69mackman Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Oh wow! Thanks Ben! Did not know that. With that 12 cyl you could haul a lot more than freight lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
