Steve, if you could give me a step by step on how to get to the "compatibility view" maybe I can fix this. This windows 8 makes everything very hard to work. The old windows xp I had was much more user friendly. Microsoft decided to stop supporting it so I was forced to buy a new computer with 8 on it.

Guess I will just have to keep posting thumbnails and hope you guys click on them to see the bigger versions. Bummer.

I tried your way NachoZ and it did not work either. I was hoping a moderator could answer my question. Maybe its because I had to switch to windows 8 a couple of months ago. But I have no problem linking pictures from fotki and photobucket to any of the other model sites.

Thanks Timothy. I will give that a try.

No that's not the problem. This website will not let me paste the image file into my message. I click to paste it and nothing happens. It used to work just fine. I haven't exceeded my bandwidth with photobucket and you don't have that problem with fotki anyway.

Can some one tell me why I can no longer post pictures directly from my fotki and photobucket sites? I notice some people still are. But the only way lately I have been able to post is by downloading directly from my computer. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Excellent job as always O.C.

Norman , yes its a very light baby blue. The valve covers were black and so was the air cleaner. There is a picture of it in my photobucket with Maurice Petty croutching down next to it. For some reason I cant get my photobucket or my fotki to link to this site anymore. Can anyone tell me how to do it?

Thanks Bill. I really appreciate all your help.

Okay Bill, so the truck I want to do is definitely a 1 ton. And the modelhaus T-800 tire/ wheel package will work okay with it?

Niko, it is the Monogram 1958 Thunderbird convertible kit. It comes with a hardtop. Had to change it from a 58 to a 59. I saw the kit in a michaels store the other day.

Bill, So do you think the truck I want to do might be a 20 series with coil spring rear suspension and dual wheels? Which means the front wheels might just be regular 6 lug truck wheels with hub caps. That would make the build a lot easier.

Bill, I found a brochure picture of the truck I want to do and it has the 5 slot wheels? I also found a rear shot of the stake bed from a brochure but it is pictured as a 20 series. I think the one I want to do is a thirty series with the shorter stake bed like the 2nd truck pictured below. Modelhaus has some 5 slot wheels and tires that look a lot like the ones pictured on the red truck. It sure would be nice if I could use them even if they may not be perfectly correct. It seems nobody makes the 8 hole wheels pictured below

Thanks Mike.

thanks A.J. I never would have figured it out without your help. So they make each order as it comes in and takes 4 to 6 weeks to get them?

Bill, thank you so much for the picture of the frame. That will be very helpful in doing the frame and rear suspension on the model. Now I just need a rear view of a stake bed like the one in the picture at the beginning of this thread.

Bill, I finally got it to load. thank you very much for the link. I went down to the wheel section and the wheel illustration showed a 6 slot wheel for the dual wheels Instead of the 8 hole type that the flat bed truck I posted a picture of has. Thoughts?

Mark, thanks for the kit pictures. Now I just need to find one.

Bill, so if I could find wheels like are on the rear and just reversed one half of one then that would be correct for the front? do those pdf files take a terribly long time to load? every time I try it I just get a black screen and I know my pdf reader works.

Bill, is the truck pictured below the same as the one I put in the opening thread except for not having the stake bed? Also are the wheels front and rear correct for a 1960 I ton chevy?

Bill thanks for the info. I clicked on the link but only got a blank screen. So I take it this truck is definitely a 1 ton? This welly 53 tow truck you speak of. Do you have a link to a picture of it?

Ok, I know this is a 60 chevy truck but I don't know what I need to build it. I'm guessing a lot of scratchbuilding will have to be done. Any help would be appreciated. Like what kit and where to get aftermarket wheels and tires and possibly the stake bed for it. Thanks for any guidance you can offer. I have never built a truck kit before.

Maxwell, What does Modelhaus call the wheels you put on your fire rescue 60 chevy? They don't have any pictures on their site so I need to know what to order. I need the rear dually wheels for a 60 chevy stake bed truck I plan on building. Thanks

Anybody make the oem tires and wheels for this type of truck?
