Repstock Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 I was re-arranging a showcase to make more room for new arrivals. I pulled this old H series conversion from the back. I haven't taken fresh pictures of it for many years. It was my first truck conversion attempt. Many details are missing and wrong, but it looks good on the shelf. All I can remember about the conversion is that I used parts of a conventional truck sleeper to help make the skirting. This was the first big rig build I built that I still have. Paint is Colorplace (I told you it's old) Kelly Green. Most of the rest of the details I've forgotten over the years. Well, here it is: 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leafsprings Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Thanks for sharing this wonderful build. Really like the period "RETRAC" mirror heads with chevrons, correct style mirror brackets and air lines behind cab. Paint and detail work are outstanding and super accurate!

DRIPTROIT 71 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 This is by far the best looking H Model Ford build that I have ever seen. First of all it looks like you got all of the dimensions right, something that none of the conversions have perfected yet. Second the details are excellent. Having built one of these recently, I have studied quite a few pictures of the real thing and you have nailed it. Last but not least, very clean work as always. I especially like the mirrors! Excellent work!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
