You can always e-mail the Early Ford Club of America on these cars . The club recognizes any Ford, Mercury , or Lincoln from 1932- 1953 . We recognize all Flathead sixes , eights and of course the Lincoln 12 cylinder ............. The brown would have been correct . The blue conceivably could have been done at a dealer shop ................

Great workmanship !!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd be more apt to buy something a lot older , say a 39 Ford , maybe a Crackerbox G M C .

James , how much to shoot my 78 Ford ?????????

Another home run Richard ! An, it's H A M B friendly too !!!!!!!

Fine job young man, keep up the GOOD work !

YEP...................................... !

Bryan, if you see this , gimme a or mercman a P-M .................

I don't like where this is headed .........................

You can use it to go Turkey shooting in the woods .......................

Mike , actually, a kit WAS available . Problem is , it was an S M P annual and then only sold as a Promotional . I remember wayyyyyyyyyy back I think it was F & F who actually offered it as a resin kit .When Ed Fluck passed away and his son took over an became Drag City, we lost a lot of really good stuff.Yes, this and several other trucks off the top of my head would make GREAT candidates for an "Enterprising " model manufacturer to re release or do a new tool of ...................

So far, so good ....................

Jim, they made the hood weak in the middle so the dang things would fold in a front end collision . Problem was , NO ONE greased the hood hinges ! So....................., what happens , the hoods folded anyway ! Then folks like me started manufacturing Chevrolet Hood stiffners to folks around Houston . OH Man, I couldn't keep em around back in da day . Gee, I wish it were 1976 again an I was still in Houston makin all da mo mo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I send lots of P-M's to people here , SOMETIMES I get a response . The rest of the time , I figure they hate me so I don't sweat it .

Now that's using yer brain wisely !

RIGHT ON brutha !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chuck, I have NEVER understood anyone that would drive a van of any kind wiff dem "Suicide Mirrors ". Yeah, I used to sell fiberglass covers that fit over them. I have them on my 78 Ford Stepside . Soon as I can get a free day, They're going BYE BYE ! I finally found a complete set of Ford manufactured "Below Eye level mirrors " I'm tired of squinting every time I'm backing a trailer into the drive with them on the truck . I like the color on the van .................

Tom, usually on the large trucks , it won't be as noticeable . I usually see differences on say width of a passenger car or perhaps a wheel base difference . Even then, on some models , the difference is negligible . Sometimes , say an Arii 1958 Cadillac , uh the difference is huge

Tom, I'll rate it three hubcaps .............................. with spinners of course !

Dass O K , people tell me I do pretty good working off two dimensional photographs and then transposing into a 3- D building . You need to be in Norfolk Virginia October 26th to see my two newest I P M S weapons .................

Tom, you jus gave out yer secret. Few of us have access to Auto Cad ....................

Ian, my guess it's pretty much a straight re- issue . The wheels were chrome , so was the diesel tank set up . Not too many Fords used Chrome wagon wheels if any . In fact , I stripped the chrome off the tanks cause I can't remember ever seeing such a Ford with a chrome tank.

The building was a real building. It was built in 1923 as a Conoco service station. Meanwhile , a collection of experimentals gathering for Richfield Premium fuel :

That's what I do too...............
