Jordan White Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 My brother's bringing me my Ford truck parts this weekend, so I should be started soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Roach Posted October 20, 2010 Author Share Posted October 20, 2010 Update on mine. It will NEVER be done. Long story short, it desided to come apart and shatter into pieces, so it's now a parts truck, and thats it. If I get motovation to build again, I will maybe find something else to build for this.

ewaskew Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Well Jared your having a run of bad luck on this one,hang in there. You can build a pick up pulling a trailer with the broke one loaded up for a project. Davin the truck looks good. Did you cover it with white primer or milltary flat yellow before the gloss yellow? Pali good color looks nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clay Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Clay, where did you get the wheels from? I WANT SOME!!! I got them from a 1:32 scale truck I had around that was falling apart. It was a snap kit. From a long time ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda figured they were 1/32 scales, but those are the best I've seen from a snap kit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Thanks, Clay. I kinda figured they were 1/32 scales, but those are the best I've seen from a snap kit! Actually, I remember now it was one of those kits that you screw together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeMc Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Another 55 pickup. I have a twist on it.. I chopped and painted it a couple of years back, but put it away. So thanks to Clay and Tonio...I've got the urge again. So what is different. Well I had it painted and it looked like a blob..a bright purple blob. So into the pond it went and came out back the way it was. So I've Z'd the rear frame and cut out the bed, made a wooden bed for it, cut the running boards and refit the floor and cab. I also reversed the tailgate, cut out pockets in the rear where a pair of 52 caddie taillights will poke out. I've also fitted the trailer hitch to it, needs to be finished and attached. This is where I started... got it stripped down re did the hood hinge , shaved the running boards, and lowered the body in the rear and made a wood bed for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMc Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Much better... this one is now sporting a 427 SOHC. the body is going to be smoothed , primed , and painted. The wheel centers will be done at the same time. I love Diamond Dust as a base...gotta look thru the kandies now :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
