F350 flatbed

[cobra98]

Alright fellas,...Don't laugh to hard,This is my first attempt at this much scratch-building & I'm trying to use stuff that i already have.

Started with an old ford cab & chassis from the parts box & a set of wheels & tires from grimreaper & misc. bits of styrene stock.

Added some siderails

Fabbed up some mudflaps'stacks,& fuel tanks

Mock-up as of now

Looks great, keep going with it.

Hey Joe....I like it!

[JamesW]

I see nothing to laugh at, Joe. It looks good. Better than I could do. LOL

[Clay]

where are the tanks going?

[cobra98]

where are the tanks going?

They're going under the bed in front of the rear tires...I just have them sitting in the bed to let the glue dry,wasn't gonna mount them there.

If you put square tanks under it instead of round and leave the pockets but take the stake rails off and cover it in mud and or rust and dents it would look like half the truck used on horse farms around here.

Looks great! I love to see pickups that aren't outrageous, but rather more like shop trucks.

Looks great, Cobra98.

Is that the cab from an 80's bigfoot truck?

[Aaronw]

Whats to laugh at, the flatbed looks good, and its always great to see someone giving scratchbuilding a shot. I'll warn you though, once you try it you will start looking for stuff you can add to kits. We might find you building a Corvette flatbed next time.

[cobra98]

Thanks fellas,...If any of ya have some links or tips on this type of stuff please post

hemithunder...Yep,the cab is from the old "Destroyer" monster truck kit,i think it was the same as the "bigfoot".

[cobra98]

Finally had time to do a bit more,..mounted fuel tank,added a lightbar,& did a little painting

Thank you.

It must be the painted center caps that really sets them apart.

[JamesW]

A few years ago I worked on a maintenance crew, and our work truck was a 96 C3500 Dumpbed. The caps were flat black and it really made the truck stand out for some reason. That's why I painted them.

[tuffone20]

Truck looks great and that flatbed is just awesome!! I really like the way you made it and what you've done with it so far, nice color too.

[69_charger]

[cobra98]

Thanks Guys

Eelco...the pinecone soap dispenser is one of those "wifey things",she thought it would look better than a bar of Lava

[AzTom]

I really like that bed.

Nothing to laugh at. You have/are doing a great job! The flatbed looks great, and the paint is a perfect color. A very nice all-around work truck!
