I put the chassis from the hotrod version on a stock body for kind of a restomod look.

I am building the 64 dodge 2 door sedan and the weird side of me wants to build it having a 3 on the tree with o/d,I do have a a 3 speed o/d trans from a unknown kit and just need to find a shifter to add to the column. Going to use the dual quad 413 from the 49 Merc kit to power it,I like strangely optioned cars.

The tank came from another AMT 32,its not going to be perfect but looks much better to me.

This is a kit I that I am piecing togather,picked up a built one with a junk chassis and then came up with a unbuilt chassis but damaged the body trying to get the windows out so I picked up a new body and its coming togather. Using the 413 from the AMT 49 merc kit for the engine.

Starting to look more like a 32.

I have no idea if was available in 34 but I had the red in stock so it went on.

I was going to build a dump bed but that would take too long so it will be a flat bed

I do not know if I am going to buy incomplete current kits anymore,using a AMT 34 Ford p/u as the base for a big truck and I probably have more in it then just buying one. Bought a partial 60s version then started buying parts off ebay that is was missing and had to get more parts tonight.

I will not buy any to restore but will buy for parts.

I hope its airbags that lower it to load,I had two quads in the back of my half tons and no squat anywhere near this. Mine were 70s half tons

It looks like it does not have much payload capacity,its really squatting in the rear with that 4 wheeler in it.

The 54 Fords in Canada still had the flathead.

While getting parts at my local old junkyard I found this 41-6 Chevy truck with a dump bed and since I want to add a dump bed to a 34 Ford big truck I am building I am going to see how close i can duplicate it,I am going to make it a little longer since the 34 has a longer wheelbase and not sure if I am going to put the part that goes over the cab.

Rims,tires and hubcaps

I have most of them and some of them I dated them when they were built.

The frame is taking shape and will have to decide what color its going to be and get the rims painted so I can finish the suspension since I might have to raise the front up some.

decided its going to have a dump bed on it,going to get some pics of a early 40s dump bed thats in a local junkyard and see if I can duplicate it.

Amt and some Lingburg parts

Got another 34 big truck in the works,used a tanker trailer frame to extend the frame and going to use a Columbia 2 speed rear end from the Revell 40 kit to simulate a big truck 2 speed rear and this one is going to be powered by a Y block. Not sure if its going to be a flatbed or dump.

In the process of building a 34 big truck and thinking about a flatbed so does anyone know if there are any bed kits out there,this kit did have a flatbed but its way too short for what I want to do.

Bought some 34 Ford p/u parts off Ebay about 5 minutes ago to finish the cab on my other 34 big truck project,its getting parts from one I built 40 years ago along with some parts from a local collector and now Ebay.

Scenes unlimited has the rims and tires.

Now I know what that trailer came from,I picked it up in boxes of spare parts a few years ago.

I need to order a few more sets of those rims and tires,starting to build a trailer for the 34 and would like to put a set on the model A doodle bug I built a couple years ago.

Was that kit ever made with a stock 6 cylinder engine.
