1977 U-Haul truck project


Recommended Posts

WOW! That is some incredible detail! I haven't built a model truck since I was a teen, about 30 years! But I recently bought the reissued Road Boss to do a replica of the trucks my dad used to work on as a diesel mechanic at a trucking company in Chicago called OK Motor Service. This forum has given me alot of good ideas on detailing, I just hope I can pull some of them off. I plan on starting my Road Boss project soon so I'll be sure to post my WIP photos!

I have been forced to stop this project because of paint problems. I need to let the paint cure before I attempt a fix. Meanwhile, this is what I have done...

Here's the 330 engine.

This is the interior thus far.

This is foil cast underhood detail. I believe a Bronco had the hood with the detail to start with. The model Bronco and pickup hoods are close, but don't interchange.

Here's the overall effect. I hope I can keep my interest long enough to finish it.
