Nosferatu Posted June 9, 2021 Posted June 9, 2021 This is one of my favorite TV shows.I started with a 1950 Ford F1 pickup, the actual Sanford & Son truck is a 1952. I changed the front grill but not the front hood. weathered the paint, hand painted the logo.Thanks for looking and I hope you like it. 1
Zippi Posted June 9, 2021 Posted June 9, 2021 Haha....I use to watch the show all the time. Nice looking build and it looks like what the "Dummy" was driving in the show.
GLMFAA1 Posted June 9, 2021 Posted June 9, 2021 Nice job on the truck. I did mine years ago when the AMT 53 or Revell's 56 pick ups were the only kits available. I sprayed mine Testors red then shot flat red straight down on the truck to get the sun faded look. Made it look beat up more than the actual truck. Didn't have modern research vessels available back then so details are lacking, but I have Julio's goat. Used to build 'cars of the stars' with a 'builder buddy' back then. greg 1
Captain Spaulding Posted June 9, 2021 Posted June 9, 2021 That looks awesome, big fan of Sanford and Son and you've definitely captured the look of the truck.
Nosferatu Posted June 9, 2021 Author Posted June 9, 2021 Thank you for your nice comments. GLMFAA1 - your build looks darn good. Very nice weathering.
Dennis Lacy Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 Nice! I can hear the theme song playing in my head. ?
Kromolly Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 That's awesome... a flash from the past. I love the "Fred G" touch. Well done!
espo Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 Great looking F-1 and it sure looks like the one they had in the lead in to the program.
Hi-Po Posted June 14, 2021 Posted June 14, 2021 You nailed it perfectly! Everything about the truck takes me back to one of favorite shows. Nice job.
Dragonhawk1066 Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 Nicely done! A great tribute to a great show!!

David G. Posted June 19, 2021 Posted June 19, 2021 Excellent replica! I think I have a 1950 Ford Pick-up in my stash, I may have to try my hand at this myself. David G.

slusher Posted June 25, 2021 Posted June 25, 2021 Outstanding replica! My grandmother loved that show and watched it every evening. Where did you sourced the grill, sir?

Toys4Don2 Posted June 27, 2021 Posted June 27, 2021 Excellent build. Really like the logos on the doors.
