Parts box rust rod

[53gmc]

Built this out of leftover parts and building materials. Chevy straight 6 with scratch built turbo kit. Added wiring, fuel lines, dip stick, ect. Turbo header is hand made, the intake is a modified one to accept the 4 barrel carb. Swapped the transmission from a ford v8. 

Used the ford drop axel, removed the frame mount battery and fuel tank, shortened the torque tube. Scratch built the cowl steering. Other than that it's stock.

Interior I used bomber seats from the revell rat rod kit( opened the holes up), ford banjo steering wheel, Added extra gauges.

Chopped and channeled the cab. Shortened the bed and channeled to match the cab. Also cut the floor out and replaced with real wood. Added the battery, moon tank, and tool box. All weathered to match the rest of the truck. Grill and headlights are 29 ford, also Added the overflow bottle.

Wheels and tires again are just some leftovers. Probably one of my favorite builds. The back ground is a Sinclair gas station a good friend gave me.

Fun for sure. Turbo’s a nice touch.

Excellent work with bits and pieces laying around, and nicely ratted out. Lots to like on this one. Although, looking at those rear tyres, the 1/25 scale driver is gonna get a ticket!😁👍🏻

I had a friend who had a truck like this in real life. One day he was pulled over for not having fenders. Told the cop they must've falling off lol

Like looking at all the little details and finishes. A Chevy in a Ford, even if it is a 6-cylinder unique setup and finishes. Great body work showing where the top was chopped but not smoothed with body putty and the primer already getting an aged look. The chassis and suspension finish and the rear mounted battery and toolbox rolling around loose. Going to have to start looking for some more used tires soon.

Thank you! This one definitely would be a tire eater for sure ha

Beautiful job of detailing and realism. Put a lot of work in it, and it shows! Nice job.
