There is a template from which you can make the windshield out of simple clear sheet plastic. When I did mine I used the plastic that used to come with new shirts around the collar! If you clean the edges of the interior of where the windshield goes it will just pop in with no glue. All you have to do is warm the plastic and put a slight curve in each end so that it snaps in place. Here are the two originals as models. Cool build Charles. Larry, can these Cabs be still purchase? I like to do similar to what Charle’s did above. Of course, i’ll need to figure out what kit to use it with. So, let me know sir!

TIA Mike Mike, Keep in mind that the build you see of Charles' fire truck was almost all scratchbuilt. There were some kit parts but the majority of it was hand built. Search the forum and you will see the in progress pictures. It is truly a work of art as are the rest of Charles' builds and he has created a couple of nice resin masters so the rest of us can build never before offered subjects.

youngtiger1 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Hey Mike, Yes, I understand his work is quite a bit scratch build but I was thinking I might be able to do part scratchbuilding and part kitbashing. His work is truly marvelous and pleasure to see. So, I’m slowely going through this forum and finding his builds. It’s a slow process but well worth the time ?

Finks Garage Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share Posted January 13, 2018 Mike, Wendell posts several a month of these trucks on eBay. They are well cast and will make a great kit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) I'll be buying. When I was younger, both the USAF and the Navy were partial to these things, and I'm trying to do most of the military vehicles I knew and loved back then...

My grandpa bought a Canadian army 64D400 that was converted into a grain truck it has a 225 slant six and a 4spd. The truck bent pushrods like crazy and I turned out that someone put paint in the fuel tank after it was cleaned out it ran like a dream. It was the truck I learned to drive a standard on so I would like to biuld a replica of it one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atmobil Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I bought this D/W 300 cab with 8 foot Utilinebed from mustang_mom44820 on Ebay before Christmas:https://www.ebay.com/itm/1967-Dodge-W300-Longbed-Truck/282814796762?hash=item41d91353da:g:5KcAAOSwiBJZ-b2m It cost quite a bit of money but the casting is very good. Same seller has some other aswell, I want to get that D100 as soon as my paycheck clears next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucky Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 What is Wendell's username on eBay? I bought some stuff from him several years ago, and have lost track of him since then. These trucks are certainly interesting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COChef Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Looks like I'm out of luck finding a crew cab model any time soon especially at a price a guy on disability can afford Oh well maybe next time LOL!! Thanks to everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to everyone Not sure what your price range is, but keep in mind when Modelhaus was casting these and offering them for sale they went for $100. I have one to build, and will soon, but would love to see these in kit form so I can build more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COChef Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Mikemodeler, I would be in for about $100 for a complete kit (frame,wheels,tires,bed,glass and cab) I'm on a very fixed income due to a double amputation and currently battling kidney cancer That's where most of my income goes ,but that's the way it goes HAHAHAHA!!!!! To the guy that was saying he drove on of the crew cabs in Da Nang that was a bit of a sway back I've attached a pic of one of the Navy's F-100 at Chu Lai RVAN !!LOL COChef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chariots of Fire Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I don't mean to rain on anyone's parade but I hope not to see any of the single cab D or W 300's or 500's out there. I sent my masters for someone else to cast from over 2 years ago and when I did I asked them to be returned to me once the molds were done. I have not heard from anyone since concerning their whereabouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
