53 ford pick up

[3men2s]

This is one of the coolest truck ever made

the fat fenders, the tall and bold hood

it looks mean and nasty, A Hot Rod for ever.

I wanted to do this for a long time, create

a transporter out of it. the back will be scratch build.

and it will have costom wheels and a modrn engine

maybe a 4.6 from a 06 mustang gt kit. or a 429 boss??

I am still thinking what color scheme to use.

will like sugestions

the concept:

references so far

color wise I am thinking something like this

Howza bout testors sublime green and classic black? Those would come close to the pickup in the pic!!

[george 53]

What's the story on the beat-up Dragster, or the transporter? Modeling them just as they are would be cool!

[MikeMc]

I Agree on the '53!!

427SOCH, 428CJ, or BOSS429.....your choice...I chopped mine then in went the SOCH!!!

Hey 3Men

I like your idea's and your "Artistry".

I like trucks, and the one you've chosen is very cool

I enjoy using lot's of color. I built this 6 or 7 years ago, and this '50 of mine is still one of my fav's.

Good luck on choosing your color combo - Dave

Mike I own and have restored a couple of Real 53 Ford trucks. First I dont know why you cant have a car hauler . Ford did offer an extended chassis for the F-300 series. It took the 5 lug one ton Budd wheels and they were powered by either the Big Lincon " E- L Series Flat head s or the new Y block engine that you would see in the Thunderbird. I beleive if you take the pieces from the Model King Racers Wedge, you should be able to make you're dream come true. I might add, very nice art there too. Keep us inquiring minds posted ! Ed Shaver

You could also try the fuel injected 460 from the Monogram '89 F-350 duallie. Probably a tight squeeze, but its just a matter of some plastic massaging.
