fairlane1320 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I'm throwing together a curbside ramptruck to haul the '66 AWB Fairlane drag car that I've been working on. The cab is from a diecast WIX bank. The bed was made from scratch. The wheels and tires are from Scenes Unlimited, awesome products btw!

fairlane1320 Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 After sanding down the black a bit, I applied a couple of coats of Duplicolor white primer. Then on to the Poppy Red spraybomb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairlane1320 Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 The ramp bed was built from a sheet of Evergreen and a sheet of Don Mills tread plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonzo64nova Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 This is awesome, Ive been wanting to build a ramp truck to carry a 70s funny car I'm building. Do you have any pics of the chassis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairlane1320 Posted December 22, 2017 Author Share Posted December 22, 2017 The cab is diecast, so I built it as a curbside. There is no frame or engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chariots of Fire Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 You must have two of those Ford cabs!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafsprings Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 (edited) Great looking race team. I like the colors and wheel choices on both! If you ever decided to use a frame, I guess the '73-'79 Ford pickup 1 ton frame would be the best donor, but in this case you would need a least two. The front suspension would have to be altered, the. Twin I beam first came out on '67 F 350's, the 1966 F 350 used the old style straight axle and leafsprings.

disabled modeler Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Very nice....I love the older looking bed fits it very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintagercr Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 (edited) Ron, beautiful work. Do you have measurements for the ramp? Edited December 25, 2017 by vintagercr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atmobil Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 That is a really cool project. I want to do something similar to the resin 65-67 Dodge D300 cabs that I got. I just bought the Revell 68 Dodge Dart Hemi as a christmaspresent for my self. That would look great on a similar style Dodge truck. Great job you have done on this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
