Archive 1 2 3 4 Message Index Bob's Topper...a few more pics Looks nice, but I forget, is this all scratch built, or no?? *NM* The jalousie window is a great detail. *NM* That camper shell brings back so many memories! One set on the back of a friends 1969 Chevy back in the day! *NM* That looks fantastic. Nice work. *NM* The cause of more headaches than even a wife! Lol! *NM* Awesome! He does very neat work, along with some very creative details *NM* Paint that truck green and you would have my uncle's truck from back in the early '80s with that kind of topper. *NM* What a nice job. Would love to have a few of those myself. *NM* That is how I remember them exactly before fiberglass *NM* Is the Moebius 1967 Ford pickup chassis right for a 1960? *NM* No. Front suspension is wrong. Maybe if the Twin-I-Beams were swapped out for a pair of front leafs with a straight axle? Ok folks.. How about AMT 53 pickup chassis? I have a box of parts kits on that one! That one should work, Tom. I believe I heard that it was the recomended chassis for the modelhaus '57-'60 trucks, with maybe a possible wheelbase adjustment *NM* a link to a similar project... *NM* *LINK* *PIC* Don Holthause recommended the AMT '53 Ford F100 for their '57 & '58 Pickup conversions. *NM* That's odd, as my '57 F100 is a full kit...chassis and everything. *NM* Someone on this board once built a '60 F100 short bed stepside with jacked up 4wd. That's what I'd build. It is really neet. *NM* That would be me, but I don't have a way to post a pic. One of my favorite models in my collection *NM* Emailed you a pic Jim, if you want to post it *NM* Here's Ronnies truck...it is so cool. I'm constantly on the lookout for a '60 F100 so I can duplicate this build. *NM* *PIC* That is a cool looking Ford 4x4 tks for posting. *NM* Tom, I'm in early stages of '60 frame swap using "old tool" Revell '56 F-100 frame. Found it a little easier, for me, than the AMT '53 F-100....PICS Thanks Everyone! I have extra 53 Fords so will go that direction! *NM* I have a few of the Revell '56s for parts. That's the reason I'm using the frame I mentioned. Also, with the undetailed smooth bed floor now exposed I'm using a sheet of Evergreen to give it some detail. *NM* The chassis under the Moebius Fords are wrong for those kits. They have the '73-'79 front suspension. *NM* 1 2 3 4
