I've always wanted to build a model of my dad's 1962 Ford F150. 
This is one of the vehicles I learned to drive with back in the mid 60's. 
I was finally acquired the very rare kit of this truck. 
  
I added the following to the model truck to make it look like dad's: 
   a. bed rack 
   b. enclosed tool boxes in bed 
   c. western style mirrors 
   d. rear bumper 
   e. "necker nob" on steering wheel 
  
My brother Dan sent me a photo of dad's truck to help my fading memory. 
 
  
So here is the model paying tribute to my dad who passed in 2002 
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
thanx for lookin'...
