Chuck Most Posted May 22, 2017 Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) This is a '69 F100 kit I bought for parts, set up on a spare AMT '78 frame. It's built to resemble a weird old wrecker I remember seeing as a kid- a regular cab short bed pickup set up on a crew cab chassis, with a semi sleeper stuck between the cab and bed. I used a Mercury from one of the AMT White/DR kits. The wrecker boom is from the MPC Datsun monster truck, built mostly box stock. The rear bumper was made from diamond-plate pattern plastic, and I used a rear step bumper on the front after seeing an old pickup in a junkyard with a similar setup. I think the hitch on it came from the '84 GMC kit. Edited September 21, 2017 by Chuck Most
mikemodeler Posted May 22, 2017 Posted May 22, 2017 As always, nice details and the weathering is spot on Chuck. I knew there was a reason for your silence and now we can see what you have been up to!
kilrathy10 Posted May 22, 2017 Posted May 22, 2017 Yeah....I've seen stuff like this one, too....Beautiful job....Definitely, something that could and has been done....Awesome.....
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted May 23, 2017 Posted May 23, 2017 That is very cool!! I like the addition of the sleeper! I've seen a few like that around here over the years.
disabled modeler Posted May 23, 2017 Posted May 23, 2017 very cool build.. I have seen some cool old home made truck set ups before too. Some made me want one..LOL..
Wagoneer81 Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 Looks great! It also answers my question about whether or not a Mercury sleeper will look right mounted behind the resin '69 F-700 cab I have...

Funkychiken Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 That silver box is strange, but the rest of the truck is sweet, great weathering!
