Johnny Cash 1972 C60 Chevrolet

[DRIPTROIT 71]

This is the one piece at a time semi. The cab is from “Too Many Projects,” (3d printed), the chassis is the AMT Road Boss, fuel tanks are from an Ertl IH S Series, interior is from AMT Crew Chief Blazer, the windshield is from the AMT 72 Fleetside, the quarter fenders are from and Ertl Transtar 2, the deck plate is from the Ertl 4070a, the mudflaps are from the AMT Peterbilt 1100 cab, the engine is the 427 from the Baldwin Motion 69 Camaro, the main 5 speed transmission is scratch built along with the 4 speed auxiliary transmission which is also scratch built. The underside of the hood was not cured in the nose, so this one is curbside, although the outside seems to be solid. This is meant to represent a very poor man’s attempt to be an owner operator.

Your Chevrolet looks fantastic! Weathering is great. 

[BK9300]

Very well done - the weathering, for sure, is terrific!  Great looking build - as hard a working truck as its owner operator.

[Rockford]

Very realistic and very credible. Excellent job. 

[Old Buckaroo]

This is an awesome truck, "she may not have much for glamor but shes a hauler".  The exhaust pipe is my favorite part as the bracket bolted to the top of the sleeper !

[leafsprings]

Great to see another medium-heavy class hauler!  I like what you did with it, looks tough, logging its share of long hauls year after year. Mercury sleeper and AC are cool touches.

[ChrisR]

Looks great.

[trick my mixer]

That is a home run. Digging that stack. Awesome.

[Bronzekeg]

very well done and nice pics also!!

[slusher]

Outstanding Brian!

[happy grumpy]

Now that's my kind of build, real life, grimy, gritty, dirty and down to earth. Just love it. Excellent weathering.

[ewetwo]

Nice detail and weathering.

[Jürgen M.]

Nice build! Interesting stack! 

Looks really cooooooool!

[Pete68]

Great finish putting all the different parts from different kits and Resin to make this truck. Congrats Brian. 

[Biggu]

The stack was the first thing that caught my eye, that is spot on, I have seen a few just like that and the oil and grime on the drive wheels is perfect.... super cool job, it looks every bit of your vision... well worked but not abused....

[catpack68]

Awesome work as always Brian! The weathering is perfect.

[PappyD340]

Another outstanding truck build from your bench there Brian, well done!

[vincen47]

Great job. Very unique.

[Warren D]

Looks great, that stack must make it sound, well, interesting.

[Badluck 13]

I flippin' love this thing! Dead on of the low budget look of the day......

Thanks again to all that commented, sorry for the late response.

[Matt T.]

Love it! A lot of personality. Well done, combining all those parts!

[RoninUtah]

That's one that will get pulled out for further inspection at every weigh station!

Awesome weathering, really well done. I love it!
