'60 Chevy Longbed

[Chuck Most]

How I spent the weekend-

This is the 'new' AMT kit, with a '64/65 Revell hood, and a long bed, front and rear bumpers, and grille from an old resin kit. I lowered it, added the custom wheels and tires from a '60 Ford Starliner, and dropped in a 5.7 Liter Hemi from a junked '05 Chrysler 300C.

Despite all the mixing this is really nice Chuck.

BTW Chuck is aware that i don't like crossbred trucks

The paint and patina is perfect! That's the way REAL street projects look!

Toolbox is a neat touch, I like that.

[Foxer]

Nice weathering job on that, Chuck.

I'll bet a lot of Chevy guys' gears are really grinding at the thought of a Chrysler engine powering one of their pickups. It amuses me.

*I'm more-or-less a GM guy, for the record. With a very strong affection for independents and Mopar.

Cool. But Chuck, it's a truck, not a car!!

[Dr. Cranky]

Beautiful work, Chuck. It's one of my favorite of your builds. I love old trucks, ratty and rivetted with charm!

[David G.]

Great weathering and I love the mix-n-match style.

Here in Phoenix, we see a fair number of old trucks from the 60's and 70's driving around, and that's how many of them look. You really nailed it!

cool beans!! is that an original bed from the 60's version of the chevy pickup? do they make resin copies of the bed? thanks. Rich.

The bed, grille, and bumpers are resin repops of the old AMT pieces- I'm not 100% sure who made them, but I have seen resin kits based on the old AMT annual Chevy truck kits, so I suppose they're out there.

Looks like "yeah , it's gotta Hemi" . Definatly a low budget Street Rod . A Rat Rod in 30 more years . Nice ..Thanx ..

[RodBurNeR]

I do like everything about it ,other than the engine...it shocked me haha! So this is a vintage long bed on a newer issue '60? I never thought about doing that. I have an original '60 with a bad cab...hmmm thanks for the idea!

[Eric Stone]

Ya had me all the way up to the Hemi... Looks great, though.

You'd have really hated the first engine I test fitted into it, a dual quad Mercury 410...

Too cool man, looks so real!!!

[W-409]

Yes, it looks real. Nicely done! But i don't like that engine, i mean it's too new. It doesn't fit very well to that old rusty look. But it's good anyway.

[Scalper]

Great Truck . Nice job on the weathering. looks real.
