The '55-'59 Chevy pickup frame is pretty flat too. Though this is an aftermarket setup with IFS, the configuration of the rails is stock.

The '53-'56 Ford pickup chassis has almost no rear kickup, and these frames are readily available in reasonably priced kits. For reference, here's the OEM frame for your truck. https://www.dodgesweptline.org/tech_ref.htm

"Me me me me me me me me me me me me me..." is the sum total topic of conversation of some folks I know.

Well that sure bites a big one. Kalmbach started in 1934 with a very few pages stapled together into what would become Model Railroader Magazine, a staple of that hobby for generations. No real surprise though...

Say da what wit da who?

Cash will no longer be an acceptable medium of exchange if some folks who "know how to make everything better" get their way.

Here's a kit history vid that maybe shows which versions have what. Sorry, but I don't have a half hour to watch it.

Yup...apparently some do, some don't This one doesn't... https://www.manualslib.com/manual/586640/Revell-70-Ford-Torino-Cobra.html#manual

Kane, the character in Citizen Kane, was played by Orson Welles.

The bundle-of-sausages exhaust system has always stopped me from building one of these. I have several of Mad Mike's pieces, and they are, as here, really exceptional. Guess I need one of these little DOHC Fords too.

Stash ye rosebuds while ye may, or tomorrow ye may be up the creek with no rosebuds.

That's a sweet deal. Since I don't get any bench time, I'm beginning to enjoy lowball price shopping for really good stuff almost as much as building.

"Player" can mean a fella who churns through the "ladies" with no thought of tomorrow.

I came across 5 of these at prices I never thought I'd see again, so I bought 'em all. Each one contains the very nice Corvair/Chrysler Firepower Hemi engine parts-pack tree, the equally nice SBC Chevy/Pontiac engine parts-pack tree, plus the chrome bumpers-and-grilles tree...and one of 'em had an extra Chevy/Poncho tree. Snagged one of these too, at a low low price. This is exactly the same kit that comes in the pretty box.
