Thanks man! Truthfully, I always thought they were ugly years ago as well. Now they are some of my favorite subjects. Thanks! Thanks! Thanks Pat!

Looks Great!!

Thanks Jim!

Thanks Kerry!! Thanks Ray! It's not perfect, but I'm pretty happy with it. Thanks Sam! Good to hear from you!

Looks Awesome!! Great work!! I built the "High Roller" version years ago. Did they remove the Ground Hawg lettering from the tires?

Thanks Man!! I got a little more paint sprayed today: IMG_9573 by Brian Smith, on Flickr IMG_9572 by Brian Smith, on Flickr

Awesome build!! Looks great!! Winn Dixie grocery stores used to run these trucks. I hope to build one of these one day myself. I have the two headlight grill for one of these.

Thanks Dan!! That will help. I also found one for sale with quite a few pictures as well. I've been wanting to build one of these since I saw your blue and white one that you built a few years ago. I think that the A.I.T.M. cab may be a little better than this one.

I've made a little progress on this one: Here you can see the AMT bed side compared to the lengthened one: IMG_9268 by Brian Smith, on Flickr The back of the cab wasn't made correctly. Here's a picture of the real thing: Here's a picture of the resin cab: IMG_9316 by Brian Smith, on Flickr Here's the modified resin cab: IMG_9348 by Brian Smith, on Flickr The floor pan had to be modified to match: IMG_9337 by Brian Smith, on Flickr IMG_9344 by Brian Smith, on Flickr I cut the dog house out for the shifter, I scratch built a glove box for the dog house, I also added to the dash as the kit one wasn't correct: IMG_9343 by Brian Smith, on Flickr I also added wiper motor covers, opened up the grill, and the center post for the windshield: IMG_9349 by Brian Smith, on Flickr I even got some paint on the cab: IMG_9565 by Brian Smith, on Flickr IMG_9563 by Brian Smith, on Flickr

Very nice! Great work!!

Looks good! I like the moving van idea!

Looks Great!! I like it!!

Looks Great!!

Wow! That looks great!!!

You have a way with the vintage trailer! Excellent work as always!!

Amazing!! Looks like the real thing!!

Awesome!! Looks amazingly real!!

Thanks guys!! The front bumper is out of a W9000 Ford kit. I'm not sure who made it, possibly A.I.T.M.. I'm going to build it as a WT9000 with a half bumper, so I robbed this bumper from it.

Just to add to what everyone has said, there was also the U model which was more of a highway version like the R model, but with the offset cab.

Thanks Gator!!
