ghoodii Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Obviously started with the Meng Ford F350. Scratch built the utility style truck cap, center console in between front seats and gear bag in back seat. Paint is Testors Model Masters Lacquers "Italian Red" and "Classic White". Decals are a combination of "Microscale" and pieces from the Trumpeter ALF. This will be paired with the Galaxie 28 foot box trailer to create a MCI (Mass Casualty Incident) response unit.

sirbuildalot Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Did you have any trouble getting the cab over the interior tub? My kit was very hard to get the cab to sit down all the way. I love your color scheme and that utility box looks awesome on the truck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghoodii Posted December 21, 2014 Author Share Posted December 21, 2014 I got the cab over the interior....took some finessing.....but I am off on the chassis to interior tub fit and now my front bumper doesn't line up. Over all I am happy with the kit, but it does have its quirks.....I'll know on the next two...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirbuildalot Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I am off on the chassis to interior tub fit and now my front bumper doesn't line up. Over all I am happy with the kit, but it does have its quirks.....I'll know on the next two...... I had my cab off and on about 6 times, (which is very hard on paint) and it seemed like the dash area may have been what was hitting the inside of the body. I lowered the dash but, it did not help. I then trimmed the front outside edges of the interior but, that did not help either. I have heard that the window cause the fit problem but, it was not clear to me. I have one more F350 to build and I am going to do a lot of trial fit before I paint anything. I like your work so far Ghoodii I can't wait to see the finished product!

Randy D Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Hi George, Nice job on this truck !!! That topper looks great and looking forward to your finish on the trailer. Randy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooknladderno1 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 George, Awesome! I especially like the bed cap! Really adds a nice touch! Many chiefs vehicles today have a similar setup. The rear contains incident command equipment as well as gear. PM me at your convenience. I might have some things to help you. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
