uncle potts Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 Impressive! Looks like Grampa's old farm truck.
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 I really like this build! First of all, I like the subject matter. We built a few jacked up trucks back in the day including a 78 Dodge. The weathering is perfect! This looks like the real thing! The Cummins swap looks great! Excellent work!!!
Steamboat Posted February 23, 2020 Author Posted February 23, 2020 Thanks everyone for all the kind words and suggestions. It was a fun project and I learned a lot. And another one is off the Shelf of Doom!
AmericanMuscleFan Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 FANTASTIC build Bill! I do love these old Dodge pickup truck. The weathering job is perfect along with all the body modifications (my kind of build...)! I really appreciate the fact that you had put this Cummins mill under the hood instead of a gasoline engine. Superb job all around... the time invested worth it! Well done sir!!!
Oldcarfan27 Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 This truck looks so real, I expect it to be leaking oil. Only one thing bothers me - no backup lights. They look like brand new, all red, custom lenses. Maybe they were pulled from a JC Whitney catalog.

The tail light lenses weren't salvageable from the built-up that I started with. They were covered in glue. So I had to make them from some sections of the light bar from the Rescue 911 kit. The curvature was just right, but I forgot the white section. Good call!

Steve H Posted March 6 Posted March 6 Hi Bill, I missed this one first time around. Fantastic build all round. Weathering and details are all very well done. 👍👍
Bainford Posted March 7 Posted March 7 Yeah, I missed this one, too. That is one awesome Dodge. Man, there's a lot going on there. Turbo Cummins. Great detailing. Great weathering. Great work on the conversion. Very cool style. That's one cool model.
