    Looks good from where I am sitting! Where did you make the cut? Surprised no one ever kitted one of these, or a wagon. I guess because there is very little difference between 66 & 67?

    Good point!

    Thanks! I will check it out this weekend.

    Let's face it, we are all disappointed that The Modelhaus is no longer and that someone didn't continue the company, but to berate Don and Carol for wanting to retire and moaning about it in a hobby magazine is pretty low. Not sure what they were thinking over at SA for publishing the letter, but I think we should all fill up their inbox with letters complaining about Francis and SA.

    Rusty- how can one order from you? What does that bed include? Tailgate? Taillights? Price? I have a MPC Little Red Express that I would love to put this bed on!

    Thanks for sharing, couldn't make it due to work schedule. A lot of nice models there Len, great pictures.

    If only! Back and forth from east coast to west coast twice in 14 days, having to be on Pacific time for 5 days each time, working 12 hour days. Eat and sleep schedule out of whack, immune system down. Add in the time change and crazy weather (dry warm air out west, humid cool air in NC) and it's a wonder I know my name!

    Criss- crossing the country last week, adapting to a 3 hour time change only to come home in time to "fall back" an hour! Add in a nasty head cold and my body is all discombobulated!

    Happy Birthday Harry, may all your builds be perfect and with mirrors! I have yet to delete the last message I got from him, about 6 weeks before he passed. Reading it gives me chills as you can hear him accepting his fate, yet remaining hopeful for a cure. His contributions here and to the magazine were immense and his passing has left a huge void in our community.

    Wow! I imagine a change of underwear was needed, I know I would need to! Glad to hear he is safe, imagine that will be a story to tell now that everyone is okay.

    The F250 would have been a long bed. I believe the trucks would have been solid axle with leaf springs regardless if it was 1/2, 3/4 or 1 ton.

    I will be picking up one or two of these for sure! Nice job Steve, looks like they have improved a few things from the bumpside trucks.

    Scenes Unlimited has the wheels you are looking for, along with some tires that might be period correct.

    Thanks Casey, saw that on Facebook and now I know I will be buying one. Sure wish they included a stock front bumper!

    Pictures and some explanation would help, any chance you could post some pictures and what needs work?

    Nice progress, love the engine update, should be able smoke all four tires with that Hemi! Maybe it's my eyes, but those rear fenders look awful large to me. I will have to look up some images but they just seem out of proportion.

    Got my invoice for the 4wd F250 conversion kits from Fireball Modelworks. Joseph estimates it will three weeks until I get them, which coincides with my Thanksgiving week of vacation, perfect timing!

    I want to say an earlier shot showed a mud tread, but can't seem to find it. Drop him a note, maybe he will post them up as a separate item for sale at some point.

    For those waiting for the F250 4x4 conversion from Fireball Modelworks, the wait is over. Joseph has posted pictures and pricing on his website for the conversions and they look nice! He is taking orders for them! www.fireballmodels.info

    IDK, thinking it is an updated Brat more than anything.
  21. mikemodeler
    The Modelhaus did offer a shortbed conversion but they are no longer in operation.

    Welcome David! There is a modeler group called SCMA and they have several shows throughout the state every year. Their next one is in Spartanburg in January and I highly recommend it as there is a decent sized swap area and great bunch of models on the tables. Keep an eye out for the date.

    Looks great so far, nice details. The oil cap is upside down, it should read "710" instead of "oil" ! JK,that is a joke in the auto parts biz!
  24. mikemodeler
    Looks good from here! Nice job on the engine swap and the wheels & tires.

    I would love to see some old Dodge pickups come out, their styling might not be as sexy as the Fords and Chevies of the same era, but they were tough trucks. I have the Modelhaus Crew Cab '64 Dodge to build, still trying to decide if I want to make it into a 4wd or build it as the 2wd that Don cast it as. Jeep and International pickups would be nice to have, but most likely from a resin caster. The rest of the trucks shown have appeal, but I don't think they would sell in numbers high enough to justify a kit company tooling them up.
