Rbray47 Posted March 22 I bought this truck at Hobby Lobby a few weeks ago. Always wanted to try one. Besides Moebius wheels that are in the mail, and a few dress up parts, this one will be mostly box stock. Chassis is Tamiya black. The Cummins is Krylon Granite. I haven't decided on a cab color yet, but I'm leaning towards using my last can of Model Master dark cherry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rbray47 Posted March 24 It's on Moebius singles now. I bought them just for the fronts, but I kind of like how it looks with the rears on too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gary Chase Posted March 24 Interested to see where this build goes, I like the idea of updating the older trucks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rbray47 Posted March 31 With my farm chores backing up on me, I didn't have much bench time this weekend. I did manage to make new mudflaps (thanks for stealing one kitty cat) The hangers are a little on thick side, but they'll do the job. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rbray47 Posted March 31 I made a little time today to work on this truck. I cheated a little bit. Instead of black cherry I used Testors metal flake red over black primer. Not as dark as I'd wanted, but looks pretty good. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
