1934 Ford Stake Bed Truck

[ModelcarJR]

I haven't been on this forum for about a month because on or about November 20th, I received a message from this website that it had been hacked and the forum was moving to new servers. Ever since then I have been trying to log on with no result other than timing out. I got in touch with someone else on the site and he said it was working. So, I had to call the Geek Squad to get me back on this website. Strange to say the least. But I still have been busy building and here is a Lindberg 1934 Ford Pickup, built as a Stake Bed truck.  Its built box stock except for the taillights, backup lights added to the end plate on the floor of the truck and the gas filler tube that I substituted because the original piece was gone.  The paint is Dupli-Color Bright Red over a dark gray primer to darken it a bit. The stake bed was painted with a base of Krylon Brown Boots followed by a blackwash and various shades of brown dabbed it with a brush. It turned out pretty nice and the hood closure is the best I have seen in one of these 30s kits. Not bad for a very basic kit that was marked down years ago to $8.39. Thanks for looking! 😎

One of the Best Builds of the '34, I have seen. The super smooth paint really helps.

 

Good Show.

Thanks, David, Jim, Alan, Carl, Chris, and Larry! I appreciate  your comments and I certainly have missed seeing everyone's work on this website! I was on the phone with the Geek Squad again this morning trying to get access to this website! Its getting to be a bit annoying. I hope it is the last of that frustration! Thanks again!

Beautiful little pickup, that red really sets it off.

I really like the old pickups and man this one really fits the ticket for a truck setting out front of a local gas station trying to drum up some business.  Nicely done John.
