Chuck Most Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 This began as a '93 Splash- when I got the kit, the bed was long gone, but all the rest was there. Years ago, a neighbor had a first gen Ranger which had '70's F-Series wheel covers. It was originally blue or green (I can't remember which) but the cab was repainted in white, and a service body was added- the service body being a slightly different shade of white than the cab color. So, I guess this is kind of a tribute to that memory, though the truck is about seven years too new to be an exact replica of that particular Ranger. The wheel covers came from the Phantom van, and the service body was made from .030" styrene sheet and a few odds and ends. It was basically a "practice run" for another service body, which will end up on a Meng pickup. Possibly. Besides the wheel covers and bed, the only other modification to the kit was to stretch the chassis to the long bed wheelbase. As for this, I may end up adding some markings and light weathering, once I decide which particular trade this truck will ply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie8575 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I could see that being a garage road service truck. Utility company is also well within reason. Very nice job on that utility body, Chuck. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
