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.

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.

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.   8D5447B3-D600-4D76-84C4-0521CA555D7A.thumb.jpeg.3f650344ed6fd0c094fbe0d4cc3a7fa0.jpeg8936142C-73C4-4CCC-9B97-A17D45C4C8F7.thumb.jpeg.80cf9f1a0aa7ff2ba848f03516230ca8.jpeg4025D74F-8CF9-4E92-8AE8-8FF255CB34CC.thumb.jpeg.cc30111b62b0276e5a2bbd2d5f3f64e8.jpeg1B539F26-B47F-430D-A6B1-22211D7783AB.thumb.jpeg.1d7b075899d4e30926300e3a53a44be1.jpeg

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!
