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.

I have had the pleasure of watching this one come together. I'm glad to see it completed! There is not a thing about this one that I do not like. My kind of build! It looks Great! Great Work!!

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.
