ACCO 3070

Ya another one on the go its a ACCO 3070.

here is what I hope to build,

Hey Allan - what is that truck carrying? Are you going to replicate it?

Don't see many of these International truck models around so I'm looking forward to seeing this one finished.

Looks like a grain carter/spreader to me.

tezza43,don't know what its for found the photo on the web,will be building the acco wth just a tray back,the photo was to show what a twin steer looked like.think u may be right Kane.

got a chassis for this one and some wheels going with single diff,not going with twin steer,going to put a tray on the back.

painted chassis flat black under coat.

I found a better chassis for this one,going to use inter transtar one for it.Hope to build it like this one.

Ahhh I have fond memories of these old workhorses. Many lifetimes ago I worked for a council here in Perth and they had a couple of these (twin steer and single) Used to love driving them around the yard (I was only 16) ...until they let me drive the tractors and grader .....

Ya baZOOKa the ACCO's are a aussie truck icon,like Football,Meatpie's,Kangaroo's Holden car's

Nice Look forward to seeing the finished product

Thank's Rowdy75,have the chassis in freeze wait for glue to brake so I can get it apart

alternatively

not a bad idea,seen a inter with two sprint cars on it one above the other like double decker.

Hi Allan looking good. I'm trying to make a 3070 single drive prime mover. I drove one in the 70's but being new to all this am having trouble mounting the cab. Any hints for a newby.

Jms52,sorry have not gotten that far with this one yet,pm flintstone he maybe able to help you as its one of his cabs.

thanks Allan
I fogot to mention the bin on the back of the first picture looks like and seed, super bin for loading the older style combines when seeding in the wheat belt.
I have sent message off to Flintstone let you know how i go
thanks
Jim

Gday Allan, in that first picture of the Acco, the thing on the back is a seed and super unit. we have one of these trucks on the farm set up as a sprayer

Thought that's what is was macca19.

allan, Look's like she's going to be a neat build. I remember these coming out of the IH plant in Dandenong Vic' when I was in high school. They alway's looked good no matter what body they carried. Keep up the good work. I await it's completion with bated breath.cheer's john.

Autobuff don't pass out waiting have not done any thing to this one,got a inter eagle chassis for this one,going to build it as a twin stree with tray top on the back.My Father only drove and owned International trucks he hated to drive other brands truck,his frist inter it was a KB-8 inter.
