Rbray47 Posted June 15 Posted June 15 This one is just about done. I've worked off and on for about a year with it. I like day cabs, so I spliced in a rear cab wall from a scrap Amt LN kit. I scratchbuilt the headache rack. Not entirely happy with it, as it has a warp to it and the paint looks funny in person. I also replaced the fifth wheel plate with a Holland from my parts box. This one is from the Amt boxing of the kit. Final assembly was fussy. Maybe it's Italeri's plastic? I don't know, but glue didn't like it very much. 9
RoninUtah Posted June 16 Posted June 16 Nice! I've got one in my to-do pile, now I'm inspired to move it to the top of this list! Great sleeper-to-daycab conversion, it looks flawless. Great work! 1
OldSkool81 Posted June 16 Posted June 16 Wowzers!!!! You really nailed it! I noticed on every single one of those, when built up, that the cab was always sitting lower in the back than the front... I think yours is the first one that I saw with the cab perfectly level. Great job, and beautiful truck!
Jim B Posted June 16 Posted June 16 Great looking Ford. I have one of these in the stash as well, and I think Ford really out did themselves with the design of the LTL.
cifenet Posted June 16 Posted June 16 Great finish and clean build! The day cab conversion looks good!
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted June 19 Posted June 19 I have always thought that these were one of the best looking trucks of the day. You did an excellent job on this one!
Coyote_6 Posted June 24 Posted June 24 Nice build. That Ford design has stood up very well and looks great to my eye even today. Black looks awesome - great work!
