BobS71 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I finally got to my LHS but they didn't have the kit I was looking for. Prices online were too high and shipping charge was outrageous so I settled on a Mack DM600.My father never owned one but it's the thought and idea that counts. The photos show a progression of the build. Starting with frame and rear axle construction to truck bed and frame with bed installed.

Mopar - D Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Nice start to your build. What color are you going with for the cab? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobS71 Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 Thanks for the comment. My father's trucks were all red so I guess that's where I'll start. Not sure if I'll apply any decals if I can find a source for them or perhaps some stripping. One thing I'll need to do is either find out how to make my own decals or find someone that would make then for me. I need custom decals for the doors.

Mopar - D Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Bob if you can create your decals on your computer then you can print them on decal sheets. You can get them at Hobby Lobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobS71 Posted October 7, 2018 Author Share Posted October 7, 2018 Thanks Dan, One question-I have read many threads about printing your own decals and everyone agreed that you got better results with a laser printer. I'll figure it out. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatorincebu Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Love the real wood deck on the bed ! Nice work . Be Well Gator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobS71 Posted October 9, 2018 Author Share Posted October 9, 2018 Gator,Thanks for the reply and comment. What you see amounts to almost 6 packs of wood. It took a couple of hours to do the deck. The wood is cut into two different lengths so I could alternate the rows. You should try doing this in 1\87 scale, doing trucks was fun.
