DRIPTROIT 71

1950 Ford F-8 Big Job

Recommended Posts

This began with a resin cab and fenders from KP Conversion. The frame, front springs, front axle, tanks and brake chambers, and radiator are from the AMT R-Model Mack. The rear Peterbilt Air Leaf suspension, fifth wheel plate and the battery box are from the Snap Peterbilt. The transmission, front bumper, and air bags (cast copies) are from the Ertl Transtar II. The wheels, tires, drive axles, mud flaps, pogo stick, shifter, pedals, drive shaft and fifth wheel are AMT from the parts box. The seats are from the Monogram CJ-7. The engine is a 4-71 Detroit cut down from a Spaulding Trading and Shipping 6-71 with some 8v-71 parts too. The Monogram 50 Ford Pickup donated a few parts as well.

I need to do something like this one of these days. 

Thanks Chuck! My last two builds were inspired by several of your builds.

Very cool and well done.

I like the contrast between the rat rod body finish and the pristine chrome stacks and front bumper.

Thanks! It was a little different build for me.
