Would like more details on the build, like where you got that body, type chassis used, oh so many questions.

Thanks, Ricky! It's an original 1960 AMT kit that's been modified. Here's a link to to the build thread that'll supply some details. trakinscale.proboards.com/thread/18082/ford-custom-pickup-shortbed-finished

Here's a shot from the original eBay description it was purchased from...

This is a good spot to drop a quick note or ask for help. If you are in a bad mood, this isn't the right spot to drop feelings. Thanks for understanding!

rickcaps55: Thanks Ed i have had this one for a long time got it as a kit that was stared but never got to it i have to say it was on the shelf for the last 15 years i guess it's time to get it going.!!! Jan 22, 2024 14:53:00 GMT -5
