I put some better wheels & tires on this and added the door handles & mirror. Looks alot better now I think. I was going to repaint it but something told me to leave it alone. Amazing work on everyone's custom trucks here, thanks so much for posting them!

Thanks for the pics, they're great. A few of my friends went and they said it was packed. They only saw about half of it because it was so much walking & HOT. Of course it's always hot at any Macungie show. Maybe next year my father and I will go with them.

Nice work on everything! It's nice to see someone else who still uses spray cans too. I love these old trucks, I drove a 67 F250 for years.

Perfect weathering!

I wouldn't change the color of your engine, it looks fine to me. I added the roll bar to make it look like the one I remember riding, I think it was a mid 80s model. The earlier ones looked like yours with the roll bar just around the rear.

Great job! My buddy had a real one when we were kids and it was a blast to drive. I built one a few years ago and added a little detail here & there along with the roll bar. I hope they reissue it too.

The other day I got a huge box of original 80s Transformers given to me. There is close to 40 of them.

1877 kars4kids This one KILLS ME! If you haven't seen it DON'T WATCH IT, it will be stuck in your head all day.

keep it going, it looks good so far. Lets see some more pics.

Here's a 55 I built years ago.

My favorite year for the Torino and it looks great!

Great job! It's nice to see a stock Model A every once in a while.

Thanks everyone. I think this will be my last post. Things are getting crazy here and I wont have much time to build. Not to mention I sell all these on ebay and they're making that harder to do. I build for fun but it's nice to get some extra $ for supplies to keep building. Anyway, I'll pop in when I can to see everyone's creativity. Thanks again!

Another rebuild from a poor build to complete junk.

WHAT? I wish I could make any of my models look this nice, great job!

Glad your here, keep positive and do the best you can.

Great to have you here. A fellow upstate New Yorker too, I can't wait to see your builds. Show us the big ones too, there's a bunch of us wrench turners here.

Holy cow, I forgot about this. Thank you all for all the comments!

A few of my favorites...

Sweet truck, I love to see a Willys without a blower sticking out of the hood. Great job!

I see you're having a few issues but I still think it looks great. Keep up the great work, I can't wait to see it finished.

WOW! great looking truck. Nice job.

Nice clean build, it looks great.

In the mid 70s my father got an old 1933 Ford school bus from a farmer who use to haul hay on. The engine was shot so he put in a 51 Mercury flathead V8, shortened the frame & made a Doodlebug out of it. He put a Datsun pickup box on it sideways with the tailgate on the drivers side. When I was about 11 or 12 I used it to haul firewood from the woods. The tree tops cut up in the box & 3 trees chained on the rear, it was a beast. He still has it today but no more firewood just junk hauled around with the wrecker boom that replaced the Datsun box. When I was 16 I drove my fathers 66 Ford wrecker, 390 with a 4 speed.

I think I might try to keep that one. I figured out that the crazy gooseneck trailer was made to fit on it.
