Arnd Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Hi all This is a little project I finished some years ago. It is a home made Chevrolet flat bed truck powered by a Perkins 6 cylinder inline diesel engine. It is build up on a Ford Louisville frame with the C600 bed, a Pick up cab and a scratch build engine. The pics are from during the build, I hope that is ok and you can see how it looks like. I hope to get the time for some better pics in the sun next year. It is home build and not like a real one, but as far as everything is possible in the USA, this truck could drive around somewhere. I hope you enjoy the pics. So long Arnd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbowser Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Great work on the weathering, very convincing. You nailed it, I've seen a lot of these type trucks around and you've got the look. Thanks for posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBad Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 My uncle used to have a truck EXACTLY like this! Right down to the RUST!!! GREAT job! Looks GREAT! With a Perkins diesel or a big block gas Chevy? While I'm not sure for the Perkins engine, I really like your C60 Arnd, it does look like the real thing!

Plastheniker Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Arnd, a really unusual model. I never saw such a cab before. Es ist schön zu sehen, daß wieder einmal jemand nicht nur schon hundertmal Gesehenes aus dem Kasten baut. Welcome, we hope to see more like this!

Brinx Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Very nice truck....Looks like a typical farm truck...just ready for a load of apples, corn or hay. Ein gut aussehendes Fahrzeug!

wku88 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Yes, I could see a farmer repowering an old farm truck with a Perkins from a Massey Ferguson combine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnd Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 Hallo all thanks a lot for your grate remarks, it is grate to read that you like this littel girl. It was a lot of fun building up this one. I did some research for the engine and I think I find out that the bigger Dodge pick ups and the smaler trucks so it fits quite well to the chevy. so long Arnd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Buckaroo Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Outstanding, I really like the oil/grease on the block and bell housing. All that is missing is a pack rat nest along the inner fender - firewall area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincen47 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Wonderful work! It would look great next to an old barn. Oh, the diorama possibilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
