This was in the collection I picked up a few years ago and now time to restore,it's rough and had a few coats of paint on it. Will try to paint it a original color or something close.

The bezels will be on a NOS chrome tree.

I can get the bezels but not the lense.

I got looking through my parts and found a truck 4 speed from a Moebius kit.

I am going to be building a mid 50s F600 or lager truck and wondering what is available,a semi trans will be too big and a car trans will be too small.

Getting closer,this one is made from mainly 60s parts except for the fenders from the green 70s version.

Most likely will use a FE and make it look like it got a engine swap,the FT came out in 64 and to the untrained eye looks like a FE as one fooled me years ago.

If I do it I will use early FE parts to make it work.

I have one of the Lincoln engines from the T kit in my hands and it looks more like a MEL engine then the Y block with the 56/57 Mark style valve covers,the engine from the T kit has a place for a front mounted distributor where the Y block its in the rear like the Ford Y blocks. The MEL resembles the big truck Super Duty engines so I could make it look like one where it was swapped in after the Y block worn out.

Planning on building a mid 50s F600 or larger truck and those had the Lincoln engine and wondering if one was ever made,most likely will just use the Ford Y block but would be nice if a Lincoln engine was made.

64 Dodge,just waiting for a chrome pen with a smaller tip so I can finish it. Those two 40s came close to going on the trash.

Those wheels were what I thought of so they had to have came with kits made after 1966.

I used them on my 40 Ford sedan made into a hard top and I have never seen them before,I presume they came in the 60s parts I got a couple years ago

In the bunch of 60s parts I picked up were a coupe and sedan bodies that were made into hard tops and came close to being thrown out. Both were not in great shape and far from perfect but I was able to save them.

Looks great and it seems like every ,60s build has all the extras glued on.

I think I am going to use these hubcaps.

It has color

Paint is coming off.

Let me see if I can find some,I do not have any but I know somebody that might.

My 65 came with mag wheels and want a stock look so are there anything readily available on another kit.

The chassis is done.

Those would work and I do have a unbuilt early 49 kit but those caps are missing.

Getting closer
