Thanks Tom and Tim, for sharing the history and model.

​Unfortunately it will be lost in this section. Many members will never see it because only truck guys visit this area. But again, if all Finished automotive models were under one heading, it would be easily promoted!

I actually saw a screen side truck at a car show this weekend. It was a Grahm Brothers truck.

[Mikevango]

Cool. I like that it has a slant six engine.

I guess that is their loss, I'm a car guy and I come to this and other sections. Its not that hard to scroll down.

Tom great model and history. Thanks for sharing.

Tom what place did it take and what year did it win in the MPC Contest?

[misterNNL]

Bob,This particular truck won it's share of"best truck" awards in it's day but never advanced into any national level prominence.There was nothing anything like it at the time.I was originally going to build it as a lumber truck but then the revell parts packs were readily available and I thought a load of hot rod parts would be more interesting.Thanks for asking.

[bobthehobbyguy]

Thanks Tom. Yes a hot rod parts hauler was a great idea.
