I'll jump in and celebrate the opening of a new light truck section by posting some of my trucks too. You may notice I have a thing for green.

1980 Ford Bronco, US Forest Service Law Enforcement

1996 Chevrolet Tahoe, US Forest Service Law Enforcement

Wow I really like your trucks!! Nice job on all of them and yeah I'd say you have a thing for green...

What did you use for the running gear on the '60 Chevy truck? And did you make that service bed on the '72 Chevy.

[Aaronw]

Yes, I built the service body. I was lucky enough to find a Reading body from the 70s on a truck near my house when I was getting started.

The '60 Chevy used wheels I cast from a diecast Dodge Powerwagon. The 4x4 bits were made from from styrene strip and tubing, with a resin differential and transfer case.

Good stuff Aaron, I especially like the '60 Chevy!

[RodneyBad]

The 60 Chevy is really great looking

O Heck, They are all Great looking.

Great service box too.

[jedimastergary]

Nice ones they all look great and good detail on them

[JustBill]

I'm a fan of your '72. Great stuff all around though!

[cobraman]

I wondered who bought all the green paint. ; ) Very nice builds.

[Danno]

Nice looking group, Aaron. I'm green with envy!

[jerseyjunker1]

green is my favorite color but i think you are a bigger fan of the forest service.

super great job on all of them Aaron. with the right setting and backround these could be seen as 1.1 vehicles. i love em"

[Aaronw]

Wow another blast from the past.

Thanks, glad someone liked them enough to dig up the post.

Manny, you caught me, I admit I do have a bit of a USFS fetish. I'll actually be posting a few new ones in a few days.

The '60 is awsome. A real stand out. The box on the '72 is one I'd like to have in my own stash of truckparts.

[rmvw guy]

Nice bunch of trucks! The '60 is my favorite. Do you work for the forest service or are you just a big fan?

[Chuck Most]

Love that '60! For some reason, those Chevy Apaches just look natural as 4 wheel drive Forest Service trucks.

[Aaronw]

I'm really amazed the are no kits with utility bodies, they always seem to generate interest when they turn up. Guess it is just part of that lack of interest in trucks.

Ron I do work for the Forest Service, which is what generated the interest.

A lot of people seem to think the '60-61 was an ugly design. Personally I like them, not as flashy as the 55-59, but they have a very tough, determined look appropriate for a work truck.
