Anybody ever build one of these

[junkyardjeff]

This was in that big bunch of parts I got a couple years ago,at first I thought it was a modified AMT 34 Ford pickup but have found out it's a Lindbergh 32 Ford and are kind of crude.  Going to see what I have that I can use and will start on it after I reassemble two more from that parts stash.

Well kinda...I don't think I had as much of the kit to start with as you do. This was a long time ago.

A fair amount of that kit is cribbed from the AMT '32 Ford coupe.  I've got one, but was planning on tossing the chassis and using one from a Revell '32 Ford 3W coupe.  I've got a few of those that I picked up for cheap, also a couple of sedan kits minus bodies.  The modified '32 frame in the Revell '29 roadster/'30 coupe kits might be good kitbash material for this one too.

I have one in my collection of BACK IN THE BOX!! specials.

Does anyone know what year it came out 

[stavanzer]

According to Scalemates-1961 was the original tooling date.

It’s my first time seeing this. It looks really old, full of traces of history.

Two more to finish before I can get to it,still do not know what engine to use but leaning towards the DeSoto hemi from the 53 F 100 kit.

This can be built into something nice. It's not mine but thought it was good reference for when I do build my kit.

Throw the Lindberg wheels and tyres as far as you can and replace them with something accurate and cool - I used AMT narrow whitewall Firestone Supremes with 56 Vicky wheel covers.  Replace the dumb headlights with a bar built from a pin and some Revell 29 Roadster headlights ( I think). I probably should go back and swap out the exhaust stacks with something cleaner but there you go.  It scrubs up OK if you de-Lindberg it!

Cheers

I have one somewhere and planned on using the cab and various parts with the '34

@Matt T. isn't this yours?

[Mr. Metallic]

Here's the one I built 15 (!) years ago. Virtually the only parts I used were the cab, interior and fenders. This was before i was bitten by the faux-vivor bug. I do have a vintage one molded in purple that I do plan to do in my polished plastic series.

@Dave Darby Dave Darby did discuss this kit in one of his Vintage Workbench articles in this mag if you're looking for some build ideas

Yes, Craig. Thanks for the @ mention. 
That’s one of my favorite builds. It’s a neat little kit if you give it a chance. As I like to say, “never trust box art”. 😃
