cifenet Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Nicely weathered truck you got there! It shows the truck has been providing its faithful service many many years. That half hanging front license plate is a nice touch. Thanks for sharing the work! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'70 Grande Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Stunning work here! Your modifications, detail, paint and weathering work are all exceptionally good. I have always wondered what motivated the truckers of the day to nickname these "Crackerboxes"... curious if it was just the way these cabovers felt like after logging a few hundred miles in one or if there's more to that nickname. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As war as I know they were called Crackerbox due to their squared-off styling and strange proportions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been called a biscuit tin in GB. There was a Foden we used to call a Mickey Mouse because it was shaped like his head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Repstock Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Really nice looking truck. Just like my Ford W, this kit renders my scratchbuilt GMC obsolete. I do think this model was built very well. looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1959scudetto Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 As ugly as the original truck is (to me), as excellent is your model, Michael: super nice build with perfect weathering - it looks like the real deal, can easily be mistaken for a real truck with the right background (as your photos proof here) - awesome !
