Me too, They're such good looking trucks to me. I think they'd sell pretty good if somebody reissued them. Thanks a lot guys. It's been tough finding time to work on this thing. Work, fixing my daughter's car, getting ready for winter & a snow storm of 3"-6" today isn't gonna help.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one still using rattle cans. Keep it up, looks good so far. I'll be watching too, I love the old Model A's.

I got most of the chassis done. I used the front & rear ends from a Ramcharger kit. The stance & fit looks o.k. to me.

Very Cool!!! I did one like this back in the early 90s. I used a Monogram F350 duallie nose, chassis & scratch built the interior. Nothing as detailed & cool as this though. AWESOME WORK!!!

"Ridge Runner" kit. Here's mine, before & after Honda Odyssey ATV.

Thanks guys, I appreciate all the compliments. It makes me feel good that you guys think it looks that good. I don't buy much aftermarket stuff for detailing, I just use what I have scrounged from old electronics & whatever I find for wiring & plumbing. Thanks for the offer Jon but I got something that will work. PM me your address & I'll send you the front end I have, It's built but should work fine. Don't worry about trading anything, I'm happy to give it to you to help out a fellow modeler.

Nice work! I love these old trucks, I pushed a lot of snow for years with one. I'd like to find one too & build one like my old plow truck.

I started this about 6 years ago & it still sits on the shelf yelling at me to work on it. I have others but this one yells the loudest.

I haven't had much bench time but I did get the engine started.

How about a 59 Dodge 4x4...

A Model A Ford powered bike? COOL!!!!!!!

You took the words right out of my mouth.

Your right! I would love to have any or all of the choices you put up here. When I was a kid we had a 41 Studebaker like your 2nd picture & it was cool. My father got it from a guy who couldn't start it. He didn't know that you had to push the clutch down to the floor to get the starter to spin. I think he paid $50 for it back then, I'd pay almost that for a good kit of one today.

Anyone know where I can find some 4x4 springs & axles for this?

I've tried the salt thing and just can't seem too make it work. I love the look but I just can't do it myself. I use the red oxide primer first too, & I lay it on pretty heavy. Then add light coats of whatever paint colors I want to use, sometimes I use 2 or 3 different colors. Then I sand lightly to get to the different colors and I chip paint with a dull knife or toothpick. It takes practice but it's fun and with your building talents you'll have no problem making it look great in no time. Here's a couple & my first 49 Ford junker...

Thanks Brad, I like your set up, it's pretty cool. I got the cab & box in primer finally after some filling & lots of sanding. The hood needed those big holes filled too. The chassis isn't in bad shape but I need to find a front & rear end for it. I thought I had one in my stash but I can't find it. I found a 2wd set up but that's not gonna work for me here. I found an older style grill I like better too but it needs some help.

I got this in a lot the other day & I think I'm going to use it to tow my Honda Odyssey. She's soaking to get rid of those decals now.

These all look great but I know there's more out there. Keep them coming! Here are a few more of mine...

I like them all, but I love that C-cab!

They did one in the Big Rig section & came up with some great trucks. Let's see what we have for the smaller ones. I'll start it off with a few...

Her are a few of mine...

X2 I love this truck!!!

I'm not sure if this belongs here so if it's wrong section I'm sorry. I got this off ebay a few weeks back and couldn't deal with it being a 1979 so I tried to make it look more like one from 1981 ish. My best friend had one & we use to ride it & a Honda 350x three wheeler all over the trails here in the Catskills. I added the roll bar, net, air intake, some wires, throttle & brake controls, lights and red paint instead of the yellow. I have to work on the trailer next & then find something better too pull it with. Any suggestions?

Hi Tom, N.Y. does have channel 6 news, it's a local Hudson Valley news channel. I see the trucks every once in a while, I'm kinda out in the boonies so it takes something kinda important for them to come around.

It looks great! I kept up with the build on the workbench, & man you do some great work! Thanks for sharing.
