I love this style of Ford... I did a Dually in a Single cab and painted it in Chestnut Metallic and Desert Tan

Two VERY nice builds that are close to my heart as we drive a '92 Custom F150 4x4 as our daily pickup. I just bought a promo that I am thinking of converting to a 4x4 and painting it the same sickening, disgusting maroon that ours is. It's been a fantastic, trouble free truck for the three years that we have owned it and aside from a water pump, an O2 sensor ( that it did not need ) oil and lube, it has not cost us a dime. I really dislike the truck but that is mostly because of the color which I wish was the Electric red instead of the dung color that it is. It drives super nice with a 300 six and a five speed but I still do not have any attachment to it - which is not like me at all. I usually bond with my vehicle as I love older cars and trucks but some times this just doesn't seem to happen. Our '89 crown Vic on the other hand has really growwn on me and it too has been virtually problem free over almost a four year period.

Ii REALLY like the color combinations on both trucks shown and admire the skill and workmanship. Nice job guys..     AAAA++++

Dan,

Nice work on the dually!

 

Trevor,

The F-250 came out really nice!  I have been working on the two F-250/350 brush trucks ('88 and '92) that my fire dept. ran in the early '90's.  The 4x4 ride height has also been my biggest challenge!  I did the same cab surgery to convert the club cab to a regular cab.  Kits are currently in storage, or I would post the projects.  Any suggestions for performing the 4x4 conversion?   Thanks.

I hate that I never did it but I didn't convert it to 4wd. Its logged and still 2wd I was lazy about that part.

Yep... easy the parts from one of the 75-79 Ford pickups works very well... also  B N L Resins has some great items...

The two tone looks good and I like the brush guard. Those wheels and tires look good too. How did you get rid of the door handle smears? Are you  going to paint the body side moldings?  Keep going!

[orderthesun]

I had to take off everything I glued on, paint it green again, then did the white over that. And I am planning on painting the bosyaide moldings. I will post both different wheels I can't decide on and let you guys decide.

Sit back and enjoy some more pictures. . .

My suggestions are as follows:

150: Revell/Monogram 80's Bronco

250: AMT Bronco with parts box leaf springs

350: 75-79 Ford or other truck with a solid front axle/leaf springs
