'34 Ford Cab Pickup - chopped & slammed

[Phildaupho]

I wanted to try to build one more model for this weekend’s Deuce Days in Scale and do as much of the work as possible while on the annual camping trip with the grandsons. I decided that model would be a reasonable facsimile of the Canadian Hots Rods magazine logo Deuce Cab Pickup. Because the vehicle in the logo is a caricature, the model is my interpretation of a slammed, chopped hiboy cab pickup using parts I had on hand. Although the caricature truck is a Model A mine is based on the Lindberg ’34 Pickup. I built one of these when the kit was new and then it was my first chopped and channelled model.

BODY – The top was chopped about 4 scale inches and the pickup bed was shortened about a foot and slightly channelled with a new floor of Evergreen styrene. The hood sides are from a Revell Deuce kit.

CHASSIS – This the Deuce chassis and running gear from the Revell ’29 Roadster which has been Z’d front and rear. The hairpin radius rods are from the Revell ’32 5-W.

ENGINE – The raised slightly nailhead Buick is also from the Revell ’29 Roadster. The carb trumpets are from the AMT Double T kit mounted on riser tubes.

WHEELS & TIRES - The white walls tires and steelie wheels are found in various Revell Model A kits. The bullets were made from ’59 Cadillac taillights out of the AMT ’57 Ford kit.

INTERIOR – Bucket seats were cut down from the ’34 PU kit. Dash and steering wheel from ’29 Roadster.

PAINT – Tamiya satin black and bright red
