1950 Ford F6 truck

[crossfire 2004]

I’m a little unsure as to which section of the forum this fits being a mid sized truck but I’ll park it here for now and slowly back away. This is the result of combining a Revell ‘50 Ford F1 pick up and an Italeri Opel Blitz truck by someone who has never seen either in the flesh.

The bed of the Opel was shortened by approx 10mm to get the front wheels centred in the newl enlarged fender openings and various frame cross membered were moved or deleted to make way for the flathead and matching Ford mount. Bumper and grille were dechromed and painted to add to the commercial feel along with scratch built turn signal lamps. A rummage in the parts box found some suitable crates and barrels for the bed then everything received a generous coating of weathering powders.

I’m not claiming any sort of accuracy with this build but I do like the result and it has cleared 2 kits from the stash.

Great job combining the two different kits for this build. The cab portion has a finish like you would expect on a real work truck and the bed looks the part as well.

Excellent kit-bashing, Stuart - looks so real (could be a farm or junkyard truck)

[slusher]

Very. Nicely done!

[Street Rod]

Very nice build! Really looks like it’s ready to work!

Great job on the medium duty. The flatbed looks very era correct and blends in perfectly. The 8 lug wheels can qualify it for being a heavier duty F 7.
