Sergey Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Nice start, but as I remember 91 Ford dually is 1:24. That's O-key? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never realized that they were different scales but I think it will be ok I had an idea about doing a dually and making my own fenders let me know what you guys think about it as I'm not to shure about it.

Dodge Driver Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 The mock up is looking really good. Should make for a tough-looking truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercuryman54 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Another idea would be to use the rear fenders from one of the 1953-56 Ford stepside pickups. Just a thought! Dennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought! Dennis I have a couple of the kits you are talking about but the fenders look to big and bulkey.

Sergey Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Well, Ford started to use dually PickUp beds since 1985. But if you built something like a custom, rear fenders look O-key. I wouldn't use such red color. It kills all the detailes on body. I would only use it on two tone color or multi color scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercuryman54 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Here's some pictures of the 1967-1972 Ford pickups with dually fenders just for some reference. Dennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
