1960 Ford P/U alternate grilles
leafsprings2 replied to 1st 700 Quad's topic in Truck Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Working on final stages of Best Model Car Parts excellent '57 shortbed conversion. Used a Revell '56 F 100 engine and steering wheel and column. AMT '60 interior tub. The grill and bumper will be chromed. -
1961 Chevy C-60 Wrecker
leafsprings2 replied to RoninUtah's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Nice to see one of these recent medium duty offerings built, looks very sharp, very popular vehicle back in the day. Great fabrication work to pull it all together, like the Texaco paint scheme and decals. -
1965 Peterbilt 281

Thanks, count me in also, this is the era of trucks I remember as a kid that got me interested in truck modeling, but couldn't really build exactly what I was looking for with all the wide nose kits that were pushed by AMT. -
Big “R” Roadboss 2
leafsprings2 replied to DRIPTROIT 71's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
You did it again, excellent fleet truck build, one of your best!. Super realistic looking, everything is spot on for a hard working, no frills rig in linehaul service. Really like the upgraded tire and wheel choice and especially the Rockwell rear hubs, a crucial detail IMO. -

1970 Ford C 600-800

Fantastic build! Really appreciate all the extra work to make this project happen. Super realistic, ready for the next paving job! -
A 3d resin print of the '69 Dodge 4x4. Very good quality and went together well. Printed by member zaina. Wheels and hubcaps ( probably more appropriate if 2WD) are aftermarket offerings.

Grill design requests
leafsprings2 replied to Texas_3D_Customs's topic in Truck Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Right, now that the '60 kit is readily available and one of AMT's best sellers, it would be IMO, a no brainer. I believe, and sure others believe also, the '59 is a cleaner fresher easier to look at front end than the '60's front end. I personally would purchase 4 or 5 quality '59 conversion kits ( grill with hood , including mesh piece and letters and side hood emblems) by who ever offers them first. -

1964-66 Ford F100 Wrongbed
leafsprings2 replied to carsntrucks4you's topic in Truck Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
The same 8' '57-'60 bed was used on '62- '63 2WD and '62-'65 4WD F 100's. Also used on '62-'63 2WD and '62-'66 4WD F 250. A longer 9' version was used on the 61-'66 F 350 pickups. '64-'66 F 100 2WD never came with the '57-'60 bed. The '57-60 bed could be used on the Moebius '65 if built as a 4WD F 100 or F 250 or '66 F 250 4WD
