mchook Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Well here it is, finally done. I used 2 cabs & interiors & lots of evergreen styrene. Everything behind the cab is scratch built along with lots of other stuff. Thanks for looking! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platerpants Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Now that is a COOL build! Looks Great! Did you lengthen the cab or was it resin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an ebay glue bomb that someone tried to stretch. After removing the paint & seeing what a mess it was, it was easier to cut it off & start fresh with another cab.

espo Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Amazing looking, especially the bed and the boom parts. Very realistic in everyway. The "sling" even looks functional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maindrian Pace Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Outstanding in all areas, superior. The only other thing I would expect to see on a truck like that would be the company name on the doors, in a nice '70s tow truck font, possibly with license/GVWR numbers on the rear doors.

Thanks, It is in the "on the workbench" section but some of the pics are gone. They were lost on an old computer that quit & I didn't back anything up. Here are a couple I found of it being built. & Thanks to everyone for all the great comments!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
