Chuck Most Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) This is a '69 F100 kit I bought for parts, set up on a spare AMT '78 frame. It's built to resemble a weird old wrecker I remember seeing as a kid- a regular cab short bed pickup set up on a crew cab chassis, with a semi sleeper stuck between the cab and bed. I used a Mercury from one of the AMT White/DR kits. The wrecker boom is from the MPC Datsun monster truck, built mostly box stock. The rear bumper was made from diamond-plate pattern plastic, and I used a rear step bumper on the front after seeing an old pickup in a junkyard with a similar setup. I think the hitch on it came from the '84 GMC kit. Edited September 21, 2017 by Chuck Most Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wagoneer81 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Looks great! It also answers my question about whether or not a Mercury sleeper will look right mounted behind the resin '69 F-700 cab I have... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
