gatorincebu Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) Greetings Everyone, I found this on a old back up disk. I built this model in the late 90's.Some of you may remember this from other Forums in the past. The pick up was a snap kit. I believe it was patterened after a Custom Pick up from back in the 70's. The build is meant to represent a privately owned mechanics truc.Which has been leased to gator Construction to include the services of the ownere/mechanic. I cut the custom sleeper off the pick up bed and attached it to the cab. And added a utility body from Modelhaus.Which I obtained in Atlanta at the NNLin 97' or 98'. I pirated a 4X4 chassis and modified it to fit. IT was a quick build and fun. But I admit I did not spend a lot of time on the fiddly bits. The Gator logo was obtained years ago from a conveyor manufacturer in Ft Lauderdale. The owner of the company was a Florida Gator. I like the decal because the Gator is weauing a hard hat. I asked Adam of Model Truck Mafia to make me some decals. This is another one that is up for a rebuild sometime in the future! Coments welcome and appreciated. Be Well Gator Edited February 12, 2015 by gatorincebu
