It's just a quick build out of parts I had laying around, unfortunately the body is a little rough and could not be taken apart due to excessive glue. With some help on here I received a fender assembly with matching patina and looks like it was built many years ago,the body came close to being thrown in the trash but it's back together again.

Years ago I thought I seen a mid 50s Ford F800 big job can and fenders being made,I have a Few 53 F100 and mid 50s Chevy cabs and interiors that can donate parts

Does anyone know if any mid 50s Ford and GM big truck can and fenders are being made,I have some semi frames and suspension and would like to build some old big trucks.

Getting closer

Two more to finish before I can get to it,still do not know what engine to use but leaning towards the DeSoto hemi from the 53 F 100 kit.

They arrived today and very happy,matches the patina on the body.

It's going to be far from perfect but will still look like it was built in the 60s.

Unfortunately there are dents on the roof from too much glue with the windows so I am going to leave it as it is,I would have liked to get it apart to do more detail but the interior is really glued in.and almost got thrown in the trash as it would have broken trying to get it apart. Did not have the heart to trash since it's 60 years old so it's going back together as found,the numbers on the doors are not the correct class as I am building it but it's going to stay.

It's a Testors gold.

Black fenders arrived today

Does anyone know what year it came out

It now has the correct hood.

Found two more sedans to reassemble but will have to be next year,I have reassembled or restored at least 10 40s from that big lot of parts I got a couple years ago. Just did not have the heart to throw them away even though some were a little rough,I have about the same amount of 32s to put back together so I have my work cut out for me.
