Chuck Most Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Like the '75 I just posted, this one still needs some work, but it'll look good on the shelf for now. Basics- converted grille to '78 Custom with round headlights, dechromed the cab, added parts from a Monogram Ford Dually (mirrors, wheels, etc.), a Spaulding service body, and an SMBC 351 Cleveland- I still need to do some underhood work and decide what exhaust I want to use, but overall I'm pretty pleased at how it came out.

Chuck Most Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 Thanks guys! where did you get the bed at Spaulding Trading and Shipping, though Sharon at STS told me the mold is getting worn out and when it finally gives out, that'll be the end for it. Last I knew, though, Hendrix Manufacturing cast a bed nearly identical to this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robberbaron Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Looks great! The white bumper/mirrors/wheels really help create the look, along with converting to the round headlights. Really gives it that barebones "all business" look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Barrow Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 (edited) Very cool! My granddad used to have a dump truck that was exactly like that (except for the service v. dump body, of course), color, mirrors, wheels, everything.
