That's a lovely D-100 , Al ! 

How'd that Gen III Hemi and its transmission fit ? I'm interested in what mods --if any-- were necessary to slide that combo into the truck's chassis .

Wheels look nice, too ( and I typically don't like bigger-than-15" - 16" wheels on classic vehicles ) . They fill the wheel wells nicely !

Great job.  What year is that?

A friend of mine has almost that exact truck right down to the weathering, minus the engine. Great work!

Well it has been a while since I saw my friends truck, and it's a little more weathered than I remember, but it still reminds me of yours. Great build again!

Here 's my friends truck.

That would make it a '77. 

MPC, like the actual car maker , would have the kit available a few months before the actual model year.

That's one of the reasons some mistakes would crop up with their kits.
