Chuck Most Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 I built the tractor a few years back- it's the AMT kit, back dated to a '59 model but retrofitted with a later style Cat V8. The idea I always kept coming back to for it was to have it hooked up to a short flat bed hauling another old Ford. I piddled around with a Lindberg trailer over the course of a couple years, and got it wrapped up a few weeks back, so I had my trailer. Then the problem became what to stick on the back. After trying a few existing models and giving some thoughts to building something especially as a trailer load, I finally opted to put a '69 Ford F350 wrecker on the back. Since Mr. Jim Wolfe seems to be fond of old Fords with some backyard engineered modifications, we can assume the '69 will be his next side project. 1
iamsuperdan Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 Wow. This one just looks great. I like the patina on both trucks.
towman1271 Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 great weathering job on both. Love your imagination. who would have ever thought of the mercury sleeper on a pickup. Love it
disabled modeler Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 That is so cool...!!! I love the subjects and weathering on them.
Gramps46 Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 X2 every thing that has been said. Great imagination and execution.
olsbooks Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 A really nice looking outfit! Please consider sharing some details on how you did the weathering. Peace
leafsprings Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 (edited) Nice low cost hauler. The dual headlights immediately set the tone for a more nostalgic era. Looks like Mr. Wolfe bought this C series from a government auction in the late 70's showing about 20 years of oxidized original U.S Army green paint. Edited July 7, 2018 by leafsprings
1930fordpickup Posted July 8, 2018 Posted July 8, 2018 NIce combo. I love the old military surplus tires on the tractor. I look for them at swap meets to do an old farm truck someday, just never find any.
Norman Posted February 19, 2022 Posted February 19, 2022 That's a very nice build Chuck. This is my take on the C-600. I used parts from a bulldozer kit and some help from Evergreen, the cable line is motorized and can lift and lower loads. The outrigging is all scatch built. It isn't built to any exact copy, it is just a build that I had fun doing. 1
