I've finally finished my '55 Step Side.  I like them shiny and this one is Rustoleum Hunter Green with white top and wheels.  The cab started as a Cameo Carrier, the bed is from the '65, and the 6 is from a '60. Yes,  I took the long way....  The wheels are from Rookie Resins with generic, but close enough, hub caps from Parts by Parks.

Other than fiddling with mismatched components,  I added scratch built tailgate chains, opened the back of the grill and used a Scale Motorsports decal to the seat.

I'm mostly pleased with the result, but wish my eyes and fingers were younger!

Thanks for looking.

The 55 truck, for me, is the nicest looking pickup of all time and your version looks great. Well done Dave.

Cheers,

Like the original look of this build. The paint colors and finish look like it's era. Clean original looking body trim and chrome.

Love everything about this truck! I was trying to buy a 78 with this exact paint combination, but someone beat me to it. It had a  green, white & yellow plaid bench seat.
