leafsprings Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 (edited) The City of Troy Dept. of Public Works just has taken delivery of a brand new 1959 T 950 Ford Dump truck. Cab was from Frontier Resins, frame and Heil Dump from AMT Louisville kit. 534 gas engine from AMT tilt cab, 5 speed main and 4 speed auxiliary from KW 925 kit? Budd wheels are aftermarket resin. Plenty of work to get to this point, but it was worth it. Edited March 4, 2019 by leafsprings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leafsprings Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share Posted March 16, 2019 Thanks guys. A few more shots. I should mention the cab guard was lowered on dump since the Louisville cab sits much higher and extra speedo decals were added to the original instrument panel to simulate tachometer and air pressure gauges, and an air control valve on dash for pulling equipment trailers, something the original AMT pickup would not have.
