tuffone20 Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Wow I really like your trucks!! Nice job on all of them and yeah I'd say you have a thing for green... What did you use for the running gear on the '60 Chevy truck? And did you make that service bed on the '72 Chevy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaronw Posted May 7, 2010 Author Share Posted May 7, 2010 Yes, I built the service body. I was lucky enough to find a Reading body from the 70s on a truck near my house when I was getting started. The '60 Chevy used wheels I cast from a diecast Dodge Powerwagon. The 4x4 bits were made from from styrene strip and tubing, with a resin differential and transfer case.

Aaronw Posted May 25, 2012 Author Share Posted May 25, 2012 Wow another blast from the past. Thanks, glad someone liked them enough to dig up the post. Manny, you caught me, I admit I do have a bit of a USFS fetish. I'll actually be posting a few new ones in a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugace Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 The '60 is awsome. A real stand out. The box on the '72 is one I'd like to have in my own stash of truckparts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmvw guy Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Nice bunch of trucks! The '60 is my favorite. Do you work for the forest service or are you just a big fan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Love that '60! For some reason, those Chevy Apaches just look natural as 4 wheel drive Forest Service trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaronw Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 I'm really amazed the are no kits with utility bodies, they always seem to generate interest when they turn up. Guess it is just part of that lack of interest in trucks. Ron I do work for the Forest Service, which is what generated the interest. A lot of people seem to think the '60-61 was an ugly design. Personally I like them, not as flashy as the 55-59, but they have a very tough, determined look appropriate for a work truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
