Ken Kitchen Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I used the C-600 kit for the chassis, engine, wheels and tires. The bed and dual axle are from the snowplow kit. The cab is from the Model King issue of the 79 Ford F100. The fender flares are scratch built items and the grille is from a friend on the HHMB (Repstock). This is a bit of a stretch for me. Normally if a 1:1 wouldn't fit in my garage I wouldn't build it. But when Repstock offered the parts I couldn't pass up the chance to use them.

mikemodeler Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Ken, Nice job on the weathering and conversion. The truck looks like it has seen many a hard day's work. Any plans to offer up the cab in resin? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lizardlust Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Really unique, well-done conversion, and the weathering is wonderful!! I am in agreement with Mike - I believe that this is a subject worthy of a resin kit. Medium-duty offerings are few and far between!!
