I love this kit, over the years they made several kits of that pick-up. I still have several kits  I should hurry up and start building them

This is a cool kit. Chopped and channeled right out of the box! 

Check the link in my signature for my red build.

I checked it out Matt , it's really well done and has the look.

Added new rear axle tubes to original rear end so a regular metal / wire axle will work..Some old narrow  cheater slicks and chrome reverse for the back and the kits front tires with chrome disc hubcaps. Repaired all lower cab areas where it had old glue build up and broken plastic pieces, made the rear window a little bigger.. Added trim and made front wall for the bed, also since it really didnt have a bed floor, I cut the floor out of an old junker 'Popcorn Wagon' and used it as a bed floor, it  has a wood grain texture and I still have to add some floor strips. Next since the interior really is limited, I have to add door panels and head liner  .

Almost done with this one, since last update the I built up an interior with new floor, head liner and door panels. Cut the seat sides to fit. Used the same cheesy engine with a few parts box updates such as headers and chrome valve covers. Parts box headlights were moved up and on top of fenders. All new glass made from clear plastic along with short sun visor. Added chrome strips to bed floor. Need to finish radiator and shell ,the one I was using was taller than I wanted it to be so started cutting.Rear lights and spotlight are parts box.

That color looks nice. I really like this kit, even as simple as it is.
