RoninUtah Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Here's another one from the awesome Romanian company CIP, who came out with that '49 Freightliner Bubblenose a little while ago. It's a 1963-65 Ford N950, the snub-nosed version of the F series. They never won any beauty contests, but I remember seeing them at work back in the day and I always thought thought they were tuff looking little trucks. I put the resin cab on an AMT Ford Louisville chassis and it worked pretty well. I'm pleased with the results. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leafsprings Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Great job! NIce details.Thanks for building this one, I believe it is the first one I've seen on the forum. The Louisville ( L series) is a great donor, it was actually the predecessor to the N series ( 1963-1969). Was available with Cummins, Detroit and CAT diesels.

Yes, that’s the reason why I chose the Louisville as a donor. This one is an early N series, before Ford raised the roofline to create more headroom, I believe in 1966. Although it’s a curbside model, I used the bottom of the Cat engine that came with the Louisville. I was very pleased with the CIP conversion; it was crisply detailed, accurate and fit together nicely. They’re a little pricy, but worth it in my opinion.
