1960 Ford P-U/Trailer and Trike

[Nosferatu]

I started with the Ford F100 kit with trailer. This is a really nice kit with lots of chrome.  I was originally going to build it all stock but that didn’t last long. I ended up shortening the bed, chassis and the trailer. I also altered the trailer. I am going to two tone it burnt orange and silver. I couldn’t just have an empty trailer so I decided to build a trike for it. I’m not sure where the trike body came from but I think it’s some toy I got many years ago. It was originally a car. I narrowed it and cut off the front, then I built a frame. I used a shortened fork from the Tiki trike and a scratch built seat frame along with some wheels and tires from the parts box. I’m keeping the Honda 4 engine.

Thanks for looking and I hope you like it.

These trucks look much better as a shortbox in my opinion. The trike is very unique, this should make a very interesting duo.

Awesome build combo you have going!  I will be following along!

I really like the 58-60 ford trucks this ones looking good. 👌.  Being a motorcycle guy, that trike is awesome.
