Japan's All Nippon Airways (ANA) and Continental Airlines have applied to code-share on each other's flights, less than a week after Japan and the USA concluded an open skies agreement.
The two carriers have applied to the US Department of Transportation to code-share on 19 routes from 28 March 2010, according to a document filed by the airlines' lawyers.
Continental will place its code on eight ANA domestic services: Tokyo-Fukuoka, Tokyo-Hiroshima, Tokyo-Osaka Itami, Tokyo-Komatsu, Tokyo-Nagoya, Tokyo-Okinawa, Tokyo-Sapporo and Tokyo-Sendai.
It will also place its code on 11 ANA international services: Tokyo-Bangkok, Tokyo-Chicago, Tokyo-Ho Chi Minh City, Tokyo-Hong Kong, Tokyo-Honolulu, Tokyo-Los Angeles, Tokyo-New York, Tokyo-San Francisco, Tokyo-Singapore, Tokyo-Taipei and Tokyo-Washington DC.
In turn, Continental requested for authorisation to place ANA's code on its flights.
ANA's code will also be placed on flights operated by other Continental codeshare partners, such as Colgan Air, says the document.
Japan and the USA concluded an open skies pact on 12 December, liberalising air services between the two countries and allowing their carriers to apply for anti-trust immunity together.

About Hemophilia
Hemophilia is a rare but serious bleeding disorder that results from a genetic or an acquired deficiency of a protein required for normal blood coagulation, such as factor VIII (hemophilia A) or factor IX (hemophilia B) in addition to factor VIIa for refractory hemophilia A and hemophilia B patients. Hemophilia patients suffer from potentially life-threatening spontaneous bleeding episodes and substantially prolonged bleeding times upon injury. In cases of severe hemophilia, spontaneous bleeding into muscles or joints is frequent and often results in permanent, disabling joint damage.
Hemophilia patients are initially treated by replacement therapy, receiving purified versions of the clotting factor in which they are deficient. However, a significant number of hemophilia A patients develop inhibitory antibodies against factor VIII and therefore become refractory to this treatment. These patients are then treated with factor VIIa, a protease enzyme that can both initiate blood clotting and, at high doses, "bypass" the factor VIII-dependent step in coagulation. Hemophilia B patients refractory to factor IX may also be treated with factor VIIa.

Creative Labs Annihilator Pro Review
The benchmark results make it quite obvious that the Creative Labs Annihilator Pro is an extremely fast graphics card that can extend the life of a gaming PC. With an estimated retail price of $299 for the Annihilator Pro and $249 for the Annihilator, these cards aren't cheap. However, if your systems feeling a little sluggish and you feel the need to upgrade, the Annihilator Pro easily offers a greater return on investment than upgrading to a faster processor.
You will see the increased performance and feel as though you've purchased a more powerful system. During the past 15 months, I've made the transition from the TNT, to the TNT2 Ultra, to the GeForce 256 SDR, and now to the Annihilator Pro. Each card was able to breath new life into my PC. For example, in Quake 2, at 1152x864 in 32-bit color, my frame rate on the TNT was 22 fps and is now up to 88 fps with the Annihilator Pro. That's an increase of 300 percent!
It's no suprise the the Annihilator series of graphics cards are aimed towards a niche market. Steve Mosher of Creative Labs stated in a recent interview with nV News that the Annihilator is aimed at the power gamer:
I am not sure the Annihilator is aimed at the average user. It's targeted at the serious gamer, the guy who has to have the best, the fastest. Average users should probably look at the TNT2 or Ultra.
I am not sure the Annihilator is aimed at the average user. It's targeted at the serious gamer, the guy who has to have the best, the fastest. Average users should probably look at the TNT2 or Ultra.
Gamers who settle for nothing less than top-of-the-line hardware. Gamers who want to make games like Quake 3 look better and run faster.
I will end this review with a few thoughts on customer support. You will be glad to know that Creative Labs offers an Annihilator newsgroup. William Ball of Creative Labs frequents the newsgroup on just about a daily basis and does an outstanding job offering tips and troubleshooting support.
In many cases it's a thankless job, but having access to resources such as Bill and other Annihilator owners offers some peace of mind. In fact, support has been so overwhelming during the past few weeks, that fellow Annihilator owner Christopher Hill has taken it upon himself to author an Annihilator FAQ.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — FBI Special Agent Frederick Humphries II played a key role in stopping a terrorist attack aimed at blowing up Los Angeles International Airport just as the year 2000 dawned. He fatally shot a man who threatened him and other law enforcement officers with a knife during an altercation at Tampa's MacDill Air Force Base in 2010.
And now Humphries finds himself in the middle of the widening scandal that has resulted in CIA Director David Petraeus' resignation.
Humphries, 47, was the agent who initially saw the emails the FBI said Petraeus' biographer and mistress, Paula Broadwell, sent to Tampa socialite Jill Kelley, a woman she apparently saw as a rival for Petraeus' affections. She also allegedly sent emails to Gen. John Allen, Kelley's friend and the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan.
Concerned about the emails, Kelley contacted Humphries in June. The two had met at a 2011 FBI Citizens Academy, a program aimed at teaching the public and journalists about what the agency does and how it operates. Kelley was in the class, which Humphries lectured one night about terrorism, according to Natalie Shepherd, a Tampa TV reporter who was there.
Humphries, a former Army captain who worked in military intelligence, thought the emails raised serious concerns because the anonymous author knew the comings and goings of Allen and Petraeus, a former general who had preceded Allen in Afghanistan. His report back to the FBI started the investigation that led to Broadwell and uncovered her affair with Petraeus.
The FBI is reviewing Humphries' later conduct in this case, a federal law enforcement official said Wednesday. Specifically, the bureau is reviewing a telephone call he made in late October to Rep. Dave Reichert, R-Wash., to voice concern that the bureau was not aggressively pursuing a possible national security breach. Reichert arranged to convey the information to House Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia, who checked with the FBI at that time. Cantor was assured the bureau was on top of any possible vulnerability.

Expect more of the same. Sure, Central Michigan, Western
Michigan and Ball State will be better making the West a nastier
division, but it'll be Northern Illinois and defending champion
Akron the favorites to meet again for the title. Despite being
in the chase for the championship, Toledo, Bowling Green and
Miami have to do some rebuilding. None of the five top teams is
a world-beater and it'll take a big upset to make much
non-conference noise despite several high-profile games against
good BCS programs. The spotlight will shine brightest on NIU and
star RB Garrett Wolfe, who'll be a threat for 2,000 yards giving
the league a much-needed marquee star after losing Bruce
Gradkowski, Greg Jennings and Omar Jacobs.
1. The West will be far better than the East. Ohio, Kent State
and Buffalo would all likely finish at the West bottom, while
Eastern Michigan would have a shot at a top four spot if it was
in the East.
2. Ball State will be this year's sleeper. It beat NIU and Akron
late last year once all the team's suspensions were served and
should come out strong with Eastern Michigan and Buffalo in two
of its first three MAC games.
3. Akron head coach J.D. Brookhart will have a higher profile
gig next year at this time.
Nov. 7th Toledo at Northern Illinois.
The Rockets had absolutely owned the Huskies until a stunning
35-17 NIU win last year in the Rubber Bowl changed all of that.
These should be the two best teams in the MAC with the winner of
this nationally televised showdown almost certain to represent
the West in the conference title.
T1. Akron
Predicted record:
Conf. record: 6-2
Luke Getsy, Sr.
There could stand to be a bit more balance after being mainly a passing
attack, and there needs to be more overall production after averaging
23.6 points and 384 yards per game. The offense wasn't consistent last
year and will have problems getting the same performance two weeks in a
row losing RB Brett Biggs and top receivers Dominek Hixon and Jason
Montgomery. The cupboard is hardly bare with eight returning starters
including the entire offensive line and likely All-MAC QB Luke Getsy.
Defense - The 3-3-5 defense of Jim Fleming should be even better
with eight starters returning including several All-MAC candidates. Kiki
Gonzalez will get more respect this season as one of the league's best
linemen, while end Jermaine Reid will be a terror of a pass rusher.
Linebackers Kevin Grant and Brion Stokes will more than make up for the
loss of leading tackler Jay Rohr, while Rover John Mackey will be the
tone-setting leader of what should be the MAC's best secondary.
season will be a success if …
Akron wins
the MAC title. How do you shoot for anything less after winning it all
last year? Even with seven road games a ten-win season is very possible
as long as there's a second championship and a bowl victory.
T1. Miami University
Predicted record:
Conf. record: 6-2
Ryne Robinson, Sr.
- The RedHawks threw for a ton of yards last year finishing 15th in the
nation, but the attack was inconsistent and wasn't as good running the
ball as it should've been. Now the line has to replace three All-MAC
starters, top receiver Martin Nance, and for good and bad, veteran
quarterback Josh Betts. Expect more from the ground game with an
excellent stable of backs led by All-MAC candidate Brandon Murphy. The
receiving corps is big, but a bit untested outside of flashy veteran
Ryne Robinson. The line will be fine as long as the starting five is
healthy; there's no depth whatsoever. The quarterback situation will be
an ongoing saga all summer long with mobile veteran backup Mike Kokal
getting the first crack at the gig.
Defense - Only two starters return from last year's solid D with
the biggest concern at linebacker where finding starters is a big enough
problem without worrying about reserves. The secondary should be fine
with great looking prospects like CB Frank Wiwo and SS Robbie Wilson
ready to play more prominent roles, and getting to the quarterback won't
be a problem for the line. With the problems at linebacker and the
smallish tackles (other than 306-pound Otto Linwood), stopping the run
will be the primary problem early on.
season will be a success if …
Miami wins
the East. Even with all the new starters this will still be among the
league's most talented teams. Anything less than playing for the MAC
title will be a disappointment, but that's setting the bar way too high
if the injury bug strikes early on.
Bowling Green
Predicted record:
Conf. record: 5-3
Devon Parks, Sr.
Things will change a bit with QB Omar Jacobs leaving early for the NFL.
While he was one of the greatest pure passers in Bowling Green history,
he wasn't mobile. New starter Anthony Turner won't throw like Jacobs
did, but the offense has far more now because of his running ability.
The other skill positions are bigger issues losing backs B.J. Lane and
P.J. Pope and receivers Charles Sharon and Steve Sanders with little
overall experience among the replacements. The line will be the strength
early on with three solid All-MAC candidates to work around.
Defense - Patience will be the key word for the young defense
that needs several underclassmen to play like seasoned veterans and add
more speed to the front seven. Stopping the run will be the first
priority after allowing 175 yards per game and 20 touchdowns, and it'll
have to be quickness that does the trick with no size up front and big
questions at middle linebacker. The secondary will make big mistakes
early on before growing into something strong. Sophomore corners Antonio
Smith and Kenny Lewis will be good ones if Devon Parks, Diyral Briggs,
and the rest of the speed ends play as expected and get to the
quarterback early and often.
season will be a success if …
Green wins the East. The schedule works out well with the
division's best team, Miami, coming to Perry Stadium. The possibility of
a ten-win regular season is there with the biggest MAC games coming at
the end of the year when the team will be as jelled as it's going to
Predicted record:
Conf. record: 1-7
Chad Upshaw, Sr.
- Ten
points per game. Ten. That's what the 2005 UB offense cranked out
scoring a mere seven points in the first quarter. New offensive
coordinator Gerald Carr has his work cut out for him. The first step to
respectability will come from better play on the line, but that won't
happen for a while. Drew Willy is a decent quarterback prospect who
needs time to work, the receiving corps is full of decent prospects who
need time to develop, and the backfield is full of decent prospects that
need room to move. That means it's up to the huge, inexperienced line
that has to be far, far better than last season.
Defense - The old 4-2-5 alignment has been scrapped for a true
4-3 under defensive coordinator Jimmy Williams. That's a good thing
considering the returning production at linebacker with Ramon Guzman and
Jeff Bublavi leading a group that should be one of the team's strengths
by season's end. The secondary will be fine once the new corners get
their feet wet with safeties Kareem Byrom and Jesse Imes providing the
help early on. The line has to find a consistent pass rusher to replace
Aaron Sanders.
season will be a success if …
UB wins
four games. Considering the Bulls haven't won more than three since
moving to D-I, a four victory season would be reason for a parade.
T4. Kent State
Predicted record:
Conf. record: 1-7
Daniel Muir, Sr.
- The
one dimensional attack should be more diverse as speedy new backs Eugene
Jarvis and Tony Howard should do wonders for a ground game that averaged
a nation-worst 45.9 yards per game. Even with the night-and-day
improvement in the backfield, it'll be hard not to wing it around with
big bomber Michael Machen back at the helm for the second straight
season and with a deep and talented group of receivers to work with. The
line should be better if everyone can stay healthy and tackle Augustus
Parrish and center Josh Perry blossom into the stars they appeared to be
this spring.
Defense - The experience is there, now it has to produce. The
line has two of the MAC's best all-around players in Danny Muir, who'll
move from tackle to end, and Colin Ferrell, while corners Jack Williams
and Usama Young could grow into the league's top tandem. The secondary
has depth to burn, so the concern is up front where the front seven, in
some alignment of a 3-4 or 4-3 depending on where it uses a Buck end,
has to be better against the run after finishing last in the league
allowing 203 yards per game. The linebacking corps will need time with
three sophomores occupying the starting jobs.
season will be a success if …
Kent State
wins five games. There's enough experience to expect a good year, and
there's no reason not to get a few wins against teams like Army, Temple,
Ohio, Buffalo, Eastern Michigan and Ball State.
T4. Ohio
Predicted record:
Conf. record: 1-7
Matt Muncy, Sr.
There's no question the running game will be among the best in the MAC
thanks to the return of a huge, veteran line and potential all-star RB
Kalvin McRae, but the passing game needs a lot of tinkering. It's an
open casting call for the starting quarterback job with veteran Austen
Everson a shaky passer at best. The receiving corps has the potential to
be much better with improved play from the quarterbacks with speedster
Scott Mayle needing to be used more to open things up for the rest of
the offense. More points will come once the passing is better. Ohio
finished second-to-last in America (ahead of only Duke) with a team
rating of 84.12.
Defense - Nine starters return to a defense that got shoves all
over the field against the run and bombed on by anyone who could throw a
football overhand. The linebacking corps will be the strength with MLB
Matt Muncy among the best in the country and Tyler Russ and Michael
Graham strong returning starters on the outside. The secondary should be
far better even after the loss of all-star CB Dion Byrum thanks to a
good-looking group of safeties. Finding some semblance of a pass rush
will be the key up front.
season will be a success if …
OU win six
games. That's a much, much bigger goal than it might seem with a team
that returns plenty of experience after a four-win campaign. The overall
talent level still isn't there compared to the better MAC teams.
West Division
T1. Northern Illinois
Predicted record:
Conf. record: 7-1
Garrett Wolfe, Sr.
- The
nation's 16th ranked offense last season won't be quite as explosive
without top receivers Sam Hurd and Shatone Powers, and the ground game
might not be the same after losing a few star linemen, but there's more
than enough talent returning to hang some big numbers on the board.
Garrett Wolfe is one of the nation's best running backs and will be the
focal point of the attack. With Adrian Davis and A.J. Harris gone, a
number two runner is needed to provide some help. The quarterback
situation is tremendous with Phil Horvath and Dan Nicholson each good
enough to win All-MAC honors. Receiver Britt Davis is a rising star who
has to blow up to open things up for Wolfe and the ground game. The
tackles are the MAC's best with future NFLer Doug Free on the left side
and sophomore Jon Brost on the other.
Defense - The NIU defense sacrifices size for speed, and while
that was great for the back seven last year, the line didn't produce
nearly enough big plays. That should change as Larry English is on the
verge of being an unstoppable pass rusher on the other side of Ken West,
and there's good interior quickness from sophomore Craig Rusch. However,
there's almost no size. The team's biggest position battle is at corner
with twins Adriel and Alvah Hansbrough looking to hold off sophomores
Melvin Rice and Bradley Pruitt. Whatever happens, the competition should
make for a stronger secondary. The linebacking corps will be steady, but
not spectacular.
season will be a success if …
NIU wins the MAC title. It's never fun when anything less than a
championship is a failure of a season, but it has gotten to that point
for the Huskies.
T1. Toledo
Predicted record:
Conf. record: 7-1
John Greco, Jr.
Expect more of the same from an offense that led the MAC in just about
everything except passing offense, but it was the league's second most
efficient attack. The ground game should be just as dominant as long as
backs Jalen Parmele and Scooter McDougle can get and stay healthy. Four
starters return to the league's best offensive line and should have few
problems opening up huge holes. The big question is at quarterback where
Clint Cochran replaces Bruce Gradkowski, but he appears to have the
offense down. The passing game will be more than fine with three
fantastic tight ends and a number one receiver in Steve Odom to carry a
young corps.
Defense - Defensive coordinator Tim Rose did wonders in his first
season turning around an awful defense. The Rockets have a flexible 3-4
alignment with the speedy outside linebackers used as pass rushing ends
and the front three mostly used to stop the run. Seven starters return
to the MAC's best defense, but there are leadership holes to fill losing
top linebacker Anthony Jordan and longtime star safety Keon Jackson.
Linebacker Mike Alston is one of the league's best pass rushers while
safety Tyrrell Herbert is on the verge of all-star honors
season will be a success if …
Toledo wins
the MAC title. The schedule works out well enough and the experience and
talent is in place. Finding a way to get by a road trip to Northern
Illinois will be key while avoiding a slip against the rest of the MAC
team's they'll be favored over.
T3. Central Michigan
Predicted record:
Conf. record: 4-4
DE Dan
Bazuin, Sr.
- The
offense became balanced and consistent last year thanks to no injuries
on the line, the emergence of RB Ontario Sneed, and the play of QB Kent
Smith. The line returns four starters and Sneed should be an All-MAC
candidate, but replacing Smith is going to be tough. Five players are in
the mix for the starting quarterback job with big Brian Brunner the
front-runner. The winner gets a talented and experienced receiving corps
to work with.
Defense If nothing else, it'll be one of the MAC's most
interesting defenses. New coordinator Joe Tresey inherits a whale of a
front seven with, arguably, the MAC's best linebacking corps along with
All-America candidate and superstar pass rusher Dan Bazuin at end. And
then there's the secondary. A weak spot last year, it should have major
problems this season with a shaky cornerback situation, no proven depth,
and decent, but unspectacular safeties.
season will be a success if …
CMU wins seven games. The schedule might be a wee bit too demanding
to win the MAC West, but there's too much experience and too many good
things happening on both sides of the ball for a down year.
T3. Ball State
Predicted record:
Conf. record: 4-4
Joey Lynch, Sr.
Early suspension, no stability on the line, and too many young,
inexperienced players contributed to a disastrous season finishing 106th
in the nation in total offense averaging 299 yards and 21 points per
game. Fortunately, ten starters return helped immensely by a line that
should be night-and-day better now that tackles Andre Ramsey and Robert
Brewster aren't true freshmen anymore. Joey Lynch has the potential to
be one of the MAC's better quarterbacks with a good receiving corps to
throw to. There's no power in the backfield, but speed backs B.J. Hill
and Larry Bostic can be effective if they get room to run.
Defense - This was one of the nation's worst defenses last year
unable to do any one thing particularly well. There's hope for
improvement with a good, deep linebacking corps returning and two
excellent safeties in Erik Keys and Trey Lewis. The big problems are on
the line and at corner. It's a big front four, but it has to generate
some semblance of a pass rush to help out the average pass defense.
Corners Trey Buice and Ricky Rakestraw can move, but they still have to
prove they can cover.
season will be a success if …
Ball State
comes up with six wins. If the team can go 4-7 last year with all the
problems it had, then an extra two victories this year with so many
returning veterans is a more-than-attainable goal.
T3. Western Michigan
Predicted record:
Conf. record: 4-4
Ameer Ismail, Sr.
starters return, but it'll be next to impossible not to see a step taken
backwards after losing heart-and-soul WR Greg Jennings, all-star TE Tony
Scheffler and 1,004-yard RB Trovon Riley. The offensive line is huge and
experienced and Mark Bonds is a pounding runner who should keep the
chains moving. Quarterback isn't an issue with Ryan Cubit and Tim Hiller
both returning from knee injuries and solid enough to make everyone
around them better. The real question mark is at receiver where several
players have to turn into dangerous deep threats. Expect the whole to be
better than the sum of the parts.
Defense - Nine starters return to what could be the X factor in
the MAC race. The run defense was solid last season and no one was
better in the MAC at getting to the quarterback, but the young secondary
got flat-out torched. On the plus side, this is an exciting group of
defensive backs that should be far better this season. The linebacking
corps has the potential to be the best in the conference led by pass
rushing terror Ameer Ismail on the outside. The line is nothing special,
but it's experienced and has a rising star in tackle Nick Varcadipane.
season will be a success if …
WMU wins
the West. There are plenty of problems and the team might be a year away
from truly being a threat for the MAC title, but the schedule works out
well and there's enough experience to be the division champion right
Eastern Michigan
Predicted record:
Conf. record: 2-6
Eric Deslauriers, Sr.
Eastern Michigan's wide open offense needs to be more consistent and far
more explosive. It has speed and quickness at the skill positions
working behind a big, veteran line with four starters returning, but
there are big question marks at quarterback and running back. Tyler
Jones leads a group of six quarterback prospects who can all run, while
there's a logjam of small, quick running backs looking to complement the
passing attack. Eric Deslauriers is one of the MAC's best all-around
receivers and should be the star of a good corps.
Defense - The EMU defense has improved a little bit over the last
few seasons, but it hasn't been a rock and it'll have to go through some
big growing pains this season in the secondary losing three starters. By
design, this is a ridiculously undersized defense that relies on speed
and quickness to make plays, but it finished last in the MAC in tackles
for loss. There are All-MAC talents in the front seven to work around in
pass rushing terror Kevin Howe at end and rising superstar Daniel
Holtzclaw at middle linebacker. Overall, the D has to be better against
the run and stronger on third downs.
season will be a success if …
wins six games. This isn't a good enough team to even think about
winning the MAC title, but the team hasn't won more than four games in a
season since 1995 and getting five or six victories would be a nice
stepping stone.

AMT just reissued the C-600 Stake, and it's a great kit. Even box stock it can be a very nice replica. There are really only two issues I have with it,and they are-
1. The box says C-600, but the door tags seem to read C-800, though you do have to zoom right in to notice!
2. The screens covered by a segmented bezel which fed air to the carb, located just behind the door handles on either side of the cab, are AWOL on the kit- this area is featureless on the kit cab. I'm guessing AMT did it to ease molding- break out the PE screen and Plastruct here.
Aside from that, you're pretty well armed to build just about any C-cab you like using the kit as a base. Sadly, the 'bonus' tractor framerails are no longer part of the deal, but all the other tractor specific parts are, so you can still build a semi tractor if you're up for a little relocating and cutting.
Box stock, the kit builds into a '71-'74 model. But, you can backdate it or update it pretty easily, and still keep it box stock! Though the box art shows the side nameplate located above the character line on the door, it is actually molded BELOW it on the kit cab, consistent with a '71-up model. By simply foil-copying the nameplate and relocating it above the character line, you have a '68-'70 model. Want a '75-'80 model? Sand of the "Gear and Lightning Bolt" medallion from between the headlamps. This would technicallly be correct for up to 1984, but you'd need to replace the "Super Duty" gas V8 for anything newer than a 1980 model.
For a brief period (1958-60), the C-cab wore a 'four eyed' headlamp system, shown here on a 1:1 '59 model...
The custom headlamp bezels from an AMT '50 Ford convertible are good stand ins for these, though for just about any '67-older C-cab, you'll need to make up your own side emblems, as they were about the only thing that changed regularly early on. Also notice the grille mounted parking lamps- used until 1965. For 1966, these were replaced by the free-standing units on the cowl, and the 'plugs' with the four-pointed stars came into being- the grille style depicted in the AMT kit. So to do a '65 or older unit, these would need to be replaced with clear lenses (actually they were kind of grayish lenses, with an amber bulb). The Super Duty gas V8s were available during this time, as were heavy duty variants of the FE and Y-block engine. Note the mangled grille- that's what happens to the C-series grille when you try to tow it by wrapping a chain around the bumper. If you see a C-series with a grille like this, that's what happened.
The '57-66 side emblems would have to be scratchbuilt, though some years used a modified F-series unit- the part found in an AMT '63 F-100 kit could be modified for some early '60's C-cabs if you're up for the challenge.
The side badge used from 1967 onward looked like this- this one is from an '85 C- 8000-
This is the badge you'll see on the AMT kit. Here also, on the same truck, is how the missing air intake grille looks-
For a 1985-1990 model, you'd need to remove the Gear and Lightning Bolt medallion and the FORD letters, and add a Blue Oval where the medallion used to be.
Design of windsheild wipers seemed to vary over the last decade or so- some rested at the bottom of the glass, while some rested next to the windshield divider post. There were also a few changes to the interior, mainly the steering wheel, gauge bezel, and some of the switchgear.
A few other things to consider-
The kit's bumper/grille and spoke wheels are plated. I've only ever seen one C-cab with a plated bumper/grille- it was a 1990 model with a stainless milk tanker body, and also had polished Budd wheels. It's the only non-fire truck C-cab I've seen with a chrome grille and bumper. These parts are more commonly seen chromed on fire engines, so I'm not sure if it was applied by Ford or if the fire apparatus manufacturer did it. And I've NEVER seen one with plated spoke wheels, and I've been soaking up as much info and as many photos as I can get since I was six or seven years old- I think I'd have seen at least one by now, but so far, nadda.
The AMT C-cab kit is every bit as versatile as the real deal, now that it's back out, I plan on doing as many as I can. That's what's great about a kit like this, you can build dozens of them and no two will be exactly the same.

The cabs were actually stamped by Budd for Ford and others. Some of the stampings were used by Thibault in Canada to built their AWIT line of fire trucks.

Back in 2000 I got a real treat. This place I worked for, a local trucking company, had this mechanic that had one of these trucks personally. He made it into his mobile shop. One day both him and I were at the main office and I needed to get back to the other side of town to the shop to pick up my truck.(A little Toyota pick up. I was the office runner.LOL) So I got to ride, for the first time , in a Ford C cab. I was all giddy and excited about the ride. The Mechanic looked at me like I was nuts. I told him that I have loved these trucks since I was about 5 and always wanted a ride in one. So now at 34, I was finally getting too. It was very cool.
I have had rides in just about all of the most popular of muscle cars and hot rods. Cop Car ride along. Been around Charlotte Motor Speedway in a Cup Car. Been around the road course at Phoenix International Raceway in one of the 69 Trans Am AMC Javelins pacing the entire 1995 SCCA Trans Am field. I would have to put my ride across the city of Phoenix in that Ford C cab right up there with those rides. Yea I was 5 years old that day.

Ben- COUNT ON ME checking out those PE goodies!
Matt- it was my grandfathers '59 that warped me as a kid, later on I actually DROVE one of his other C-Cabs (a '60, I think).
Brian- Wheelbases varied over the years- I'll try to get back with some numbers later.
Posted 23 October 2010 - 10:09 AM
The AMT kits are a bit of a hodgepodge (boxed as a C600 or C900, actually marked as a C800, and provided with the motor used in the C900), but it has a ton of potential. The C cab was the most successful US commercial truck ever built, 33 years of production with only minor changes.
Besides FWD and Mack, the truck was also sold badged as a Mercury truck in Canada until 1968. FWD used a licensed cab from Ford, but the Mack N only used the body panels, the cab interior was all Mack and is quite different from the interior of Ford cabs, in particular it has a large hump in the middle of the cab floor. As Dave mentioned Thibauldt also based one of their fire apparatus cabs on the C cab. Walter also used the cab for some of their trucks.
It was available with the following wheelbases 99, 111, 135, 153, 175 and 206". The tandem axle trucks were available with a 135, 153 or 161" wheelbase.
There is a huge variety of engine options for the truck. The Super Duty motor in the kit was only used on the C900+ (at one point the truck was available from C500 to C1100). The 370 and 429 was used from 1979-90.
A better choice for C-600-C800 would be the Ford FE series (300, 330, 360 and 390) which was used from 1964 through the late 70s (beefed up for truck use as the FT series in 300, 330, 361, and 391 cid). Most of these are available in kits with slight modification (air cleaner and such).
The C600 came standard with a 240 or 300 cid I-6 until 1979.
Diesels became available in 1963, but they were odd engines, a couple of small Ford of UK diesels and a short lived Cummins. In 1968 Caterpiller started supplying Ford with Diesel engines, the 3208 in the Ford Louisville kit will work in the C cab (the 3208 wasn't used until 1975, but is apparently very similar in appearance to the diesels used 1968-74). An 8.2 liter Detroit Diesel was available for the lighter trucks from 1981-87.
The pre 1964 trucks used Y block V8s from 272-332 cid, again these are similar to the engines Ford used in their passenger cars. The C500-600 came standard with a 223 or 262 cid I-6.

The blue '59 in the photo has a Y-block, and I plan on getting some decent engine detail shots when I get back out to it. I also have (had?) access to a Super Duty V8 (like in the kit) and an FE, both pulled from C-cabs, I'll just have to see if the guy still has them.

It never ceases to amaze me just how long-lived that truck was, and so many other trucks over the year, too.

I'd be interested in seeing the engine shots. I've just been planing on using the Superduty air cleaner and the truck related accessories (air compressor etc) on the smaller engines to give them a truck look, but I don't know that it would be anything close to accurate. I've got some outside shots of a few junk yard C cabs one from '59 and another from the mid 60s. The owner let me wander around and take some photos, but I didn't want to push my luck asking to climb around and open stuff up, so focused on stuff like the badging, dual headlights etc.
Would people be interested in decals for the other than 1968-90 badging? I know PE would probably be preferred by most but the badging is only about 1/4" deep in 1-1 which would only be about 0.01" thick in 1/25 so it seems like decals could work and would certainly be easier to make.
The C cab was so popular with fire apparatus builders that Icongrafix has a book called Ford fire engines, all of their other titles focus on a particular builder (American LaFrance, Seagrave etc), not the chassis.

I have original sales brochures for the 1980/81? year. Here's an old photo I have.
If you guys want I'll dig them out and see if I can scan them to get full size ad load them up to my Fotki.
I also have brochures for the bus chassis, the F-series and the L-700-9000?

If your friend is THAT destitute that he won't buy a pair of black shoes then get him a pair from Payless!

Perfect, so my final questions would be since we are treating these like suits, does this open up the color range for the ties, or should I still stick with the traditional wedding tie look? Just worried that the typical gray on white shirt on charcoal suit might look a little bland.

I looked into this and, while it's a good idea, it's apparently a common tradition for the ladies. There won't be anyone traveling from Scotland for the wedding to bust me on it were I to do it but I think I'd prefer to observe the etiquette nonetheless. Thanks again for the original thought, though, MrDaniels.
This is potentially an issue. If the dress is black tie optional, we'll most likely have tops eight guys in tuxedos at the wedding, myself included, out of one hundred or so men attending. Do people feel that this is enough in itself not to go with a tux or that it doesn't matter much at all?
As long as the dress code is black tie optional, you should get an elegant mix of tuxes and suits. Suits will be in the majority but there will be nothing wrong with wearing a tuxedo.
I'm no rube, I've just rarely had occasion to wear a dinner jacket given my profession and the company I keep (broke artists).
As always, any input would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
I understand that this horse is taking quite a beating from me but I thought of one final concern. Can anyone speak to the notion of wearing a piece of clothing to an event (in this case, a new MTM dinner jacket) that is worn almost never by the individual? Unwise or most likely wouldn't matter? Meaning, if I wear a dinner jacket once every five years, do I run the risk of letting the jacket wear me as opposed to vice versa?

The jacket will look like it is wearing you if you look uncomfortable or insecure in it. If you like the way you look and are confident, you will look fine. Plenty of people have limited occasion to wear black tie and yet look great when they do so.

I'm sorry in advance if someone finds my other post on this topic. I just realized that I should have asked the question here instead of starting a new thread.
I'm currently deciding on whether to get a notch or shawl lapel on my vest/waistcoat, and if it should be double breasted. It's for my outside afternoon wedding in upstate NY at a BnB/Garden. I believe that I'm set on at DB shawl option, but I've been told that it's hard to get these to fit or look great unless I find a good tailor to do it for me. I live in NYC and am wondering if there is someone here that does these well, or if there are any online options I may be able to find. I'd also be willing to purchase one used, and get it altered a bit. Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.
Thank you, and again I didn't mean to create a "double post" on this topic in case anyone has read the other.
Settled. Thanks to all for the help and especially to unbelragazzo and archibaldleach. The input's been invaluable.
