72 Charger Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Im calling this one done. After a 3 years collecting parts from all over the world. The last parts came in yesterday. This was 2 junk Little Red Trucks and a Warlock bed and various small bits from some very helpful members on here . I really like this truck although I struggled to get everything to line up when it came to final fitting. The hardest parts to find was the rear lights mirrors and the tailgate which I found in one of my own parts boxes! Anyway enough from me please enjoy and comments welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steamboat Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Dave, Looks great! I know how much work this was, and how it feels to call it done!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bainford Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Very cool. Nicely done conversion. I have a similar project I hope to get to soon. It will be a ‘72 in two tone brown. I have contemplated the difficulties in getting a good smooth roof. Yours looks great. Did you have much trouble getting it right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it took quite a bit of work to get right. I did lay some thin plastic across the join between the cab's just to make up the curve of the rear roof then filled sanded then filled then sanded some more. But it was worth the effort to get it right. Then I added thin round rod for the rain gutter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmericanMuscleFan Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 It remind me a coworker's truck at my very first job (he sadly passed away few years ago... way too young). That was a '72, same blue paint but without the white underbody accent... a real workhorse... unstoppable! Nice job Dave!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
