Spare parts combined into a curbside model.

The truck itself is inspired by a 1955 F100 from the movie "Three On A Meathook". If you've never seen the movie, it's basically a sleazier, cheaper knockoff of "Psycho" made in the early 70's. The truck in the movie is heavily battered and has a third generation Styleside bed, so my '53 version follows suit.

And here's a picture of the '55 in the movie...

Nicely done! The inside of the bed looks especially convincing.

Believe it or not, I actually remember that movie.
