• Anyone else see this as their 60 Ford Pickup build? *NM* *PIC*
  • Not me. Maybe...a half-ton version. Marmon-Herrington conversion? *NM*
    • It could be a MH, but Ford took 4WD in house around 57 (I think) so I'd guess Factory. But who knows? *NM*
  • I am going 4WD, but a short bed step side. Years ago I believe someone on this board posted pics of a black one. If I'm right, I'd really like to see those pics again. *NM*
    • Are you thinking about the black 4X4 from Ronnie Keel? *NM*
      • Yes, I'd like to see a pic (i have one somewhere, but can't find it) and maybe a brief rundown on what he used for frame and running gear. Been a favorite of mine for years. *NM*
  • Yes I saved a similar picture (somewhere LOL not sure where I put it). I always thought the tires would be hard to find though. (?) *NM*
  • I like it. What extra parts would you need to do this, and where would one source them? *NM*
    • Would the Moebius F250 snow plow 4X4 chassis be close enough to work? Admittedly I don't know much about Ford pickups. *NM*
      • Close enough for me. All of my reference stuff is in storage, so I can't say for sure. I only build shelf models so, I won't loose sleep over the fine details. *NM*
        • Wonder what the fitment is like - is it a simple drop-on? Also, I do like to know hot close to actual the frame/suspensiion is, though, because even as a shelf model, it doesn't have to be perfect, but it's nice to know how close it is for my own satisfaction. *NM*
  • That wouldn't be my first choice but it's interesting. *NM*
  • I did a lot of scrath building and kit bashing to end up with this on an original AMT kit: *NM* *PIC*
    • That looks great! Some details and more photos would be appreciated, if you have the time. *NM*
      • Here's a head on shot, I drilled out the headlights, separated the bumper from the grille, of course de-chromed it and substituted a Bronco open grillle for the kit one as it was too shallow to open up. *NM* *PIC*
        • Thanks for the pics! I love it! *NM*
    • Heck Yeah! Lets see more of that one!
      • Here's a rear 3/4 view. *NM* *PIC*
    • Right there - nailed it. *NM*
  • I believe that photos was taken at Ford's test track in Dearborn. *NM*
