LOL! It just hit me that that tight fit in a plane might explain the folding windshield and canvas top a lot of these had instead of a solid roof, which would likely not fit in a plane of the time -

Hah, a split frame! We modelers do it all the time when shortening or lengthening a frame, looks much better when we hide it as we do, too, LOL! I actually have a frame that comes apart with a secret slip joint so I can swap out the rear end. Never thought a bolted joint would have been possible! Such neat work and a great detail that adds so much interest, amazing how you came up with that, in addition to your standard attention to detail! You never cease to amaze -

Wow, great progress so far! I'm amazed at the precision work on the brass along with the added plastic detail parts, right down to the fasteners, impressive! Thanks for the updates, very inspiring -
Nice job! Love the colour, wish I could decide on something for the one I started, just can’t commit to something so I love seeing yours built, well done!

Nailed it! Doesn’t get much better than that, a neat kitbash with great paint, decals, and lighting, it looks so realistic! -

Such neat paint and decals, you did a great job despite the fit issues, you’d never know it! -
Nice work so far on that one, it cleaned up so nice! What I meant was the other model, note where the break between cab and box is missing compared to the one you’re working on. If I’m right it represents the one piece body that Ford offered for only a couple of years, with integrated cab and box, I think the box sides were riveted to the cab, innovative but apparently not too popular at the time https://www.cjponyparts.com/resources/unibody-pickup-trucks
