The one you want is in the AMT 66 Ford Galaxie XL kit.

Any tips on putting these things together would be much appreciated!

That was what most of the trucks I drove had, many with armstrong steering!LOL

Thanks guys. Don't know how much longer I can keep building. Some days the tremor in my left hand is so bad I have to clamp a part in a clothespin and hold it with the side of my hand against the bench to paint it. Assembling the mirrors is going to be a challenge!LOL

Getting closer. Debating on using the ac unit. Most the compsmies that hauled livestok were to cheap to have it in their trucks back then.LOL

The odd Fire V6 was a 300 with 2 cylinders cut out. First one was 198ci then came the 225 followed by the 231 odd fire. Last odd fire was produced I believe in 1976. My 4 door 62 Special had the 215 V8 with a 4 barrel. Land Rover ended up with it.

Mickey is alone now. Sad news My band played a lot of their songs back in the day.

Don't know why my pictures are so fuzzy on my computer. They look great on my phone which is what I have been using to take them.

Just noticed I spelled Reo wrong in the heading. Interior done and ready also the hood and fenders.

A little more done on the chassis. Finish up the interior next. Been down in the back pretty bad making sitting at the bench painful. Unfortunately no way to fix it.

Flashback to when I first started driving! Looks great!

Has a WOW factor of 110! I would call that putting ones heart and soul into a build!

Nice conversion! Looks great!

My sis-in-law and her husband just closed up their shop. He is on his way out with severe COPD and heart disease but tat isn't what closed him down. His RC sales was booming as well as board games and puzzles but his model kits were limited and he could not get a decent wholesale price because everyone wanted too large of orders to get a good deal. What killed his business was shoplifting and beak-ins and one armed robbery while my sister-in-law was there alone. On shoplifting and break-ins the police would not even come there. They had to o to the station and write up a report and list of items taken. They were operating on a shoestring as it was and it just because a fruitless cause.

Another started kit that spent years in the back of the closet waiting for it's return to the bench.

Dave the hardest was the Wagner. It was cut up lettering from the 65 Chevelle Wagon kit.

Finally calling this one done. Started so long ago cant remember exactly when. Wish I had better lighting to display it.

Getting closer but being a real pain at times!LOL

Looks heavy duty for sure! I remember in the article on narrowing the the Pete hood and adding shutters they use a slat from a mini blind cut into strips so it had that slight curve to them.

Had that happen once when someone else loaded the truck and couldn't push two pallets of roofing far enough foward. My mistake not checking the load.

Sweet looking build of a kit that can be a real pain! All it needs is swing down legs at the back. Had then on an International delivery truck I drove that had a long overhang. Backed to a dock at a sister store and while I was catching up my delivery log a newby opened the door and tried to drive the fork in without the legs being down. All I knew was I was several feet above the round looking at the sky! Would be easy to fab, just spue and a couple little flat squares on the bottom pinned to a clevis under the box corners.

This is my cat BooBoo. He will be 65 years old on the 16th.

Great start Sam! Looking forward to this one. Got one to finish. Building mine to haul a bull rack.

What a change in the truck building realm this one is!LOL I like it!!!

Great start! Going to be a looker for sure! I have one 3/4 done I need to drag out and finish. Maybe the next one up.
