pcm1977 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I do not want to say this was an easy build. It had it's moments when stuff did not want to fit correct. I used the flame decals from an old t-bucket kit I had laying around. I also created a custom exhaust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 That turned out nice! I like the paint scheme and the four pipe exhaust! Looks great! Great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it hasn't been done, before, but your execution of it is seriously awesome... I'm really diggin' this one... Outstanding job..... That's a good looking rig, Bro....

stenfalk Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 A truck with character! I like it very much. ? The matt black pipes, sun visor and nameplate above the radiator grille make the vehicle individual and harmonize perfectly with the red and chrome parts. Very tastefull! It is an interesting fact that one of the rarest step variants in reality (only 1972 to 1973 and also not in all units produced during this time) can be seen in the end on almost every model of this great truck.

David G. Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Great looking truck! Love the flame decals and custom stacks. They look like something an owner-operator from this time period would have done. That and keeping their rig clean. One question though. Were there no trailer connections provided by the kit?
