Ben Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 I built this back in 1990 and finally took some good pictures of it. I started with the Monogram F-250 extended cab, long bed kit. I shortened the cab, interior, chassis, inner bed, outer bed sides, fuel tank, exhaust and driveshaft and added aluminum tubing tips to the exhaust. I also cut the “2” from the F-250 side emblems, cut two tiny “1’s”, covered them in Bare Metal Foil and added them to the emblems. Other than that, it’s straight from the box.
kelson Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 Excellent conversion!!wish I had that type of skill!.
stavanzer Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 Wow! Sharp Build. That looks exactly like I remember the new trucks looking back then.
wrenchr Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 That looks amazing, I had a 90 long bed with a 302 and it did not take long to realize why they came with 2 gas tanks..........................
kilrathy10 Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 Now, that took some work, Man.... Excellent job on this one.... I like everything I see.... Looks just like the 1:1.... I'm amazed.... Great idea, and the work has paid off....
Hotrod 97 Posted June 15, 2019 Posted June 15, 2019 Excellent work on the conversion! The truck looks great!

fordf-100 Posted June 15, 2019 Posted June 15, 2019 Fantastic detail! Your window trim looks perfect! Very nice model!
mikemodeler Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 Very nice! The work is so clean you can't tell it's not a kit!
mchook Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 Great job, I love it! If it was white in the middle it would be a dead ringer for the one I drove years ago.
signguy2108 Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 They both look good Ben, i'm kinda favoring the red one...
oldcarfan Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 Love the conversion. I would buy one if someone did it as a kit.
Againmikewins Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 Any pictures of the making of this beautiful truck's cab and bed?

kymdlr Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 This looks great. I really like the wheels where did they come from?
