Chuck Most Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 (edited) I'm both a modeler and an IH truck fanatic, so when I found out R&R did a resin kit of one (based off an old promo) I just had to give it a go! The kit has about ten total parts, and you have to scare up your own wheels, tires, axles, steering wheel, and headlamp lenses, but I managed to get this one toghether in about two days. The casting seems pretty rough, and it is, but the parts fit suprisingly well. Any who... here she is! Edited March 24, 2010 by Chuck Most
Scalper Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 nice looking truck there. like the one with the plow too.
Nick Winter Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Hi Chuck, what's up, I like this truck like I said over on TST I just finished a Ford themed version of this. I know I'm a GMC/Pontiac guy building Fords , the last 5 models I've built have been Fords, oy vey, finally I'm getting back to my passion GMC truck and Pontiac F body's, anyway like I said I like this right after Dodge IH comes in as one of my top 3 favorite truck brands. One question though, well really two, were's the Hitch from and Were's that light on the scout from I found one almost Identical last night while looking for parts for my latest ford. Nick

RodneyBad Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Awesome looking Truck. Nice trailer combo too.. Excellent work, once again
Chuck Most Posted March 25, 2010 Author Posted March 25, 2010 Nick- The hitch is from an AMT '76 Impala kit (or was it a Caprice... whichever, it's the one that comes with the tilting single axle trailer), and the flasher is from an AMT Peterbilt kit, with the base from a Jeepster Commando kit.
Harold Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Nice job on the pickup, Chuck. Plus the trailer and Scout give it a story. Nice.
chrismooney Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 Great work Chuck!!! love the classic color combo... and the ones of if pulling its younger brother (the Scout) around
Tumbler75 Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 Stunning, jus' stunning! I'd be proud to own something like this in 1:1. The vehicle in tow is a nice touch too. Great work on everything. * two thumbs up *
jedimastergary Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 Nice one looks great and so does the one on the trailer both great rides
charlie8575 Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 Nice work, Chuck. What did you end up using for rolling stock and a steering wheel? I imagine any '50s truck wheel would be okay, but I like the rims and tires; I have a few other things I might have use for those. Charlie Larkin
ricky12 Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 Look great and it takes you back in time . with both of those trucks .
rustybill1960 Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 Sweet and Simple Chuck! Nice clean build Man! Thanks for sharing Later Russ
