1972 Chevrolet C3500 Dooley

[Chuck Most]

AMT kit built as a representation of a couple of "homemade" dually conversions I remember from years ago. The rear fenders from a Sportside were grafted to the Fleetside bed, and it was capped off with a modified topper from the AMT '63 F100. Wheels are from the AMT C3500, front tires are from a Moebius '68 F250, and rear tires are from a Moebius '72 F250 4x4. The rest of the model is basically out of the box. Paint is Krylon Tidal Blue with Testors Dullcote.

Great looking HD Truck. I also remember seeing many dually conversion trucks years ago before manufacturers started offering them. The weathering is realistic looking, and the camper and camper mirrors are perfect.

Nice custom work, looks great.

Excellent Conversion. I remember seeing truck like this, back out in Farm Country. Always Homemade, always dirty.

Yours Hit the nail on the Head.

 

Good Show.

Nice dually, like the color, tires and roof lights. GM was close to getting a dually to the market for '72.

Nice build. Love the homemade look. Seen a few of those around. Some much better than others.

Excellent build of a unique subject! You never see a dually of that year.
