Warren D Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Calling this one done. Cab from Jimmy Flintstone, Chassis, engine, wheels, tires, interior from Lindberg Dodge. Headlights from AITM, fuel tanks from AITM's Rubber Duck kit and cut down, steps from Auslowe. Move the exhaust to veritical. Colors are Tamiya red chassis, Testors dark pearl green acrylic with Testors light green accent and interior. Loosely based on a 1956 White 3000 I saw at a show many years ago. Altered the suspension to remove some of the forward rake but the prototype has a noticable front rake so I left some in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRIPTROIT 71 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Very nice work!!! I never really gave these trucks a second look before, but after seeing how great you guys make them look, I may have to try one some day myself. I really like the colors on this one!

OldTrucker Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Great job on one of my favorite trucks! Was an old one deserted on a gravel lot by the old rail yard in town when I was a kid and we spent many hours "driving" it all over the country! (until bumble bees took it over) LOL Now that I see how one turns out I will have to get one! Thanks for posting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1959scudetto Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Very nice model, Warren - that gives me an idea what to do with my ugly Dodge (seems to be the ideal donor for the White 3000)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren D Posted February 7, 2019 Author Share Posted February 7, 2019 Thanks again, yes, I think the Dodge Lindberg kit is probably the best. It does have square fuel tanks, so if you like the round tanks, you'll have to adapt. You'll want to raise the front suspension, the Dodge has way too much rake. The interior isn't bad, just shave the sides a bit and it'll fit right in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
