Scale-Master Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 MPC cab, engine and chassis I repurposed from a step side kit I built in 1974. I started making it into a copy of my truck over 30 years ago and the project stalled at least 26 years ago. I picked it up a couple months ago. The camper is scratch-built along with lots of other goodies, a lot of kit-bashing as well.

wrecker388 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 That is something nobody ever said about the real truck! Thanks guys!Lol Mark. I guess I have a soft spot for these old rigs in this type of condition because of the one my Grandpa used to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disabled modeler Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Riley....I know that feeling well....I have always had a soft spot for 4doors,wagons,campers,vans...we owned a lot of them over the years in the 60s/70s...miss them. Not all great builds need to be shinny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scale-Master Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 Thanks guys, I decided to add one more "unique" detail. My near constant companion in the truck was Rocky, a 108 pound Golden Lab. A great dog that knew how to hog a bench seat. I modified a Hood Hounds figure and painted it to match.
