Plowboy Posted July 29, 2019 Author Share Posted July 29, 2019 Thanx guys, I appreciate the great comments! This was a "just for fun" type build that somehow came out a bit better than I expected. It almost fell together. Here's a chassis photo. It's the '36 with all of the floor pan and molded in details removed. It actually makes a decent chassis once it's cleaned up.

crossfire 2004 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Having looked at both kits I think you may be over simplifying this conversion for us Plowboy. Out of the box the front of the ‘37 cowl doesn’t match the ‘36 hood sides and the raised detail at the bottom of the cab seems to have the profile of the ‘36, yet the door shape remains ‘37. Do you have any ‘ in progress’ photos of the build to show us the magic happens ? Many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, for some reason, I can't copy and paste a link with my tablet. So, go to trakinscale.proboards.com, find the bench section, go to the second page and you'll find it. It will explain the details. This is the only progress photo I have left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crossfire 2004 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Thanks Plowboy, I kinda guessed that is what you had done, now I’m even more impressed with the finished truck. Unfortunately you have now created another problem by directing me to a forum that until now, I was blissfully unaware existed, I now have to spend even more time surfing the web rather than building. Thanks ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
