Pint Sized Semi Truck Perfect In Every Detail
Showgoers at a recent Northwest farm show were amazed at the perfect detail of a down-sized semi built by Kenneth W. Self, Lake Oswego, Ore.
The mini-semi is an exact replica of a 1960 Freightliner built at 2/3 scale. Horns, lights, wheel hubs, frame work and sheet metal were all built to scale using the original company blueprints. Cab and chassis were fabricated from the ground up and construction took over three years.
