Ken Gilkeson Posted April 5, 2015 Author Share Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) would look nice this way, only the black stays though. not opening the doors because of paintwork and time. this truck will look best with the doors shut anyway. ;-)) Edited April 5, 2015 by Ken Gilkeson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fantacmet Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Lookin like a dandy so far. The only complaint I have is it will take too long. These take forever to build, but I understand it as I'm pained every night trying to get a couple done and it's slow going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Gilkeson Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 usually not one to copy a real truck but I started this same truck in the late 70's. I got the cab and hood painted and lost interest. don't know what ever happened to it. this was in a western star ad back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
