I've owned a couple '69s and a '71 F250, and a '70 F100. Great old trucks.

I've seen the in-jar filters online and wondered how well they work. I'd be curious to hear experiences.

Very nice work, and what an accomplishment! Awesome display piece.

I like it. Very cool looking gasser.

huh? and huh? ?

Looks like a good kit to break out on a rainy Saturday afternoon and have it done by dinner time! ? I like it what you are doing.

Cool concept. I'll be watching.

hot dogs, apple...

This is a cool project. I'm looking forward to seeing that large engine crammed in the Model A. Neat concept.

Not to hijack this thread, but thanks for the information on CA glue and sanding dust. I've been saving dust for this purpose and am going to try this. Does the CA & dust mixture sand OK?

I managed to get the body work 90%+ done, put the chassis together on the lengthened frame and do a mockup just to see how things are fitting. I think I'm going to have to raise the rear axle a bit for clearance for the mud tires that I'm going to use (kit on the way). I'm pleased with how it's coming together, it actually looks like and old long bed Chevy! The wheels and tires are wonky, just what I had available for mockup. This has been fun so far and brings back memories of my old tire smokin' '64 C20.

Good to see another one saved. You come up with some unique, cool kits Michelle. Good job.

Great looking Ford. Nice job.

Very nicely detailed. Undercarriage looks great.

you don't know?

Oh man, that's a good looking truck. I like that it isn't "over chromed". It looks like a working truck. Well done!

Very nice looking Galaxie. Super clean and well-detailed build.

I got a little done on this project today after doing some organizing in my work area. Cold early spring day with rain, snow, wind and hail. YUK! Here's a picture of the back of the cab converted to the small window. I have a little gap to fill around the perimeter of the original large window opening. Man, that took a lot of time slowly filing and comparing to pictures. I think it's pretty close to what the small window cabs look like... close enough for me to stick on the shelf. Almost finished the bodywork on the bed, too. A couple of low spots to level out. Assembled the nailhead and painted some parts.

Yes, those would work great. I'll PM you. Thanks.

That's a good looking old 1/2 ton long bed. Great patina... Arizona sun? I've always really liked that body style. A friend of my dad had one in dark green '70 Cheyenne 1/2 ton long bed that was mint... but that was 35+ years ago. I really wanted that pickup, I'm not on the Chevy Trucks forum. I'm actually mostly a Ford guy, but I like and appreciate just about everything. I have two '65 F100s, a long bed and a short bed. I plan to make one running/driving vehicle from the two, but that will probably wait until retirement.

Thanks Carl. I wish I had kept that old truck, it was very unique with the nailhead engine. Oh well, I wish I had kept a lot of the vehicles I used to own. ?

I really like the look of this Merc. Very nicely done on the mods. Subtle, but at the same time a major transformation. Awesome work!

Thank you. Mine wasn't a Custom Camper, but I remember seeing them. I actually did haul a tired and homely old Chinook camper on that truck. Later I had a very clean '71 Ford Camper Special with a much nicer camper. I felt like I had made the big time!

Thank you! My '64 also had a black grille, but I can't remember for sure if the bumper was black or white. I need to see if I can dig up any old pictures. The truck itself was white. Same here, I used to see those trucks all the time. I learned to drive on a red & white '66 long bed Custom with the panoramic window and 6-cyl/three in the tree that my dad owned. I was originally going to build a replica of that one, but decided the Buick-powered C20 would be more fun.

Very impressive work and an enjoyable thread. Thank you for sharing!
