I really can not decide on any ONE vehicle . Each one represented it's own unique set of challenges . The first , an R & R 1935 Ford has been one of my most challenging as I was told by Ole Ray that this was a simple drop on A M T's 34 Ford chassis . Yeah, that and a nickel won't pay ya out of a traffic jam on the Gulf freeway .

The frame was entirely scratch built as this truck was/ is scaled at something in between 1-23rd and 1-28th .

I didn't know I liked pickups so much until this thread! It looks like I need to get those in my stash built to go with the only one I have done ...

AMT's 1963 Ford F-100 with the go kart.

This model had 3 custom grilles,hood scoop,roof scoop,rear window fillers,tonneau cover,hydraulic lifts,rear fender fins,tailgate filler,custom taillights,rolled pans,nerf bars,spot lights,chrome steel wheels,knock-off gas cap,side pipes,steering wheel cover,head rests,telephone,gear shift,a cute little statue of AMT's THE KAT,and a really unique Paxton style supercharger.

It also had a service truck option with flashing red roof light,running lights,push bumper,gas and oil cans,lug and torque wrenches,pit board,and air horns.

Even the go-kart could be built two ways!

It's at the very top of my wanted reissue list.It was reissued in the late 60's with a over the cab camper cap.

This 1950 Ford ( the year I was born), has to be my favorite. Of course I had to build the Kurtis Midget to go with it. The truck was the first model I brought to a local club meeting, the theme was 50s Fords.2011thememodels029-vi.jpg

Lots of great looking pickups fellas!! B)

Hard to choose just one since I enjoy building pickups and trucks so much!

So here are a couple of mine.

'53 Ford P/U - model of many firsts for me: wired engine, tubbed rear chassis, scratchbuilt tonneau cover and tailgate.

Not to be a nit-picker, but the bed on the Cameo truck was fiberglass, and thus did not rust.

Was the whole cab fiberglass, or just the bed? :huh:
