This truck was supposed to be a quick build, something to tow the trailer with my 68 Mustang Drag (Link) on it. I quickly purchased the Revell '65 Chevy Stepside Pickup 2 'n 1 to take the place of an AMT 1953 Ford Pickup Street Machine that I simply failed at when building. I was going to make the custom version of the truck straight out of the box and paint it with the same rattle can red as what I painted the trailer it is going to be towing. However if you look at the pictures you will soon discover that I got a bit carried away with some customizing of my own. I went through my parts box and managed to find the stuff to put a supercharger and such on top of the engine. As you notice I also found am air horn...so I put it in the extra space in the engine compartment. I then looked over and saw a piece of styrene laying on the desk and decided that a truck like this needed a fiberglass tonneau cover over the bed. I made a custom spoiler for the cover also. I could not leave the bed alone and had to put some wood and strips of styrene painted chrome. The mirrors are from the 68 Mustang (who needs mirrors on a drag car anyway??). (the truck is straight, the board it is on is not) The last thing I did to finish the custom job on this truck was to put a custom exhaust on the bottom. I used some solder to make the pipes and added to round styrene for the mufflers. Once again I stole something from the 68 Mustang, the exhaust tips finish it out, don't you think? Thanks for looking
