78 dodge stepside and wheel horse mower

[426 pack]

I recently got a amt red express truck and I got a wheel horse lawn tractor from vintagedragcrazy. So since I’m a fan of old mopar trucks and I race lawnmowers I thought that they were meant to be together. 

The truck will have a 440 with 727 trans, tires from a moebius ford pickup, rims from a revell 68 Charger and the colour will be similar to the photo below.

the only modification that I have done on the truck so far is lower the rear end.

The mower will be biult to resemble my MTD that I biult this spring for car shows and the Canada day parade.

Comments welcome

I love this idea; the truck and tractor are both looking great so far!

Thanks. 

Today I painted everything on the mower and everything accept the interior and body of the truck.   

For the wheels I used a liquid Chrome pen. 

I used a liquid chrome pen to do all the parts on the mower that are bare metal.

Nice build

Looks like a fun build. Make some ramps to run the mower up into the bed of the truck and you're off to the races.

Thanks guys and yes I will be building some ramps. 

I got the mower mocked up and test fitted it in the box of the truck.

Cool project, I dig it a lot. I just watched Dylan McCool pull a 72 D100 Utiline from a junkyard earlier today:

And the Mopar Muscle Truck is really badass!! Love it!
