OK! It's down to two: long bed w/o hood or short bed w/o hood

"long bed w/o hood"

"short bed w/o hood"

Short bed w/o hood gets a vote.

[Chevy II]

Me thinks the long bed is better with the cab being that size.

[Russell C]

Dunno. Did my own bit of photo-altering to see what more open space behind a really short version would look like, and then a bit less so, like your cropped image. I'm still leaning toward the longest version ....

[redscampi]

I like the longest bed because it balances the cab well.

[NOBLNG]

I agree.?

I agree with @redscampi I like the long bed with the length of the cab.

How do you guys old your models together when you’re mocking them up?

I learned to use good old Elmers's glue from this board. Sometimes that tacky stick stuff for hanging posters. Sometimes they will stay together for the picture.

@Russell CWOW! Now that is a gig that I have yet to master!  Photo-Shop is a very valuable tool, Brother!  At this point moving the front axle forward of the grille was also a consideration:

Cost me a bundle to go through graphic arts school back in the day, always need to keep my hand in it. Sooner than later, I need to start my own permanent retirement career of doing basic inexpensive concept photo alterations like this, along with decal replication/creation, photo etch artwork, and even 3D parts artwork. I'll drive off that bridge when I get to it ....

Yep, farther forward front axle looks great!

In the end, this will be part car and part truck so I'll post it in this thread. I've been amassing parts for this build for a better part of the past year. Now I have just about everything to build a 1/16 '55 Nomad 4x4. I got the rears and suspension from a 1/16 Revell Chevy pickup and the wheels/tires are 1/18 from ACME.

Here's a quick mock up of a AMT 40 Sedan Delivery glue bomb that I started in the 80's then life got in the way. I should finish it.

[TarheelRick]

Started this one a few years back.  Need to get my bench together so I can bring it back out. It is an SRT8RPU. I am considering using a nose piece from the 300C.

 

[Lucius Molchany]

Has the lowered look I prefer.

[Fish_65]

This is more of a "block-up" LOL

[catpack68]

I should have posted this one here in the truck mock up thread  instead of the other mock up thread.A future project for next year.
