gatorincebu Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) Greetings Everyone, I found this on a old back up disk. I built this model in the late 90's.Some of you may remember this from other Forums in the past. The pick up was a snap kit. I believe it was patterened after a Custom Pick up from back in the 70's. The build is meant to represent a privately owned mechanics truc.Which has been leased to gator Construction to include the services of the ownere/mechanic. I cut the custom sleeper off the pick up bed and attached it to the cab. And added a utility body from Modelhaus.Which I obtained in Atlanta at the NNLin 97' or 98'. I pirated a 4X4 chassis and modified it to fit. IT was a quick build and fun. But I admit I did not spend a lot of time on the fiddly bits. The Gator logo was obtained years ago from a conveyor manufacturer in Ft Lauderdale. The owner of the company was a Florida Gator. I like the decal because the Gator is weauing a hard hat. I asked Adam of Model Truck Mafia to make me some decals. This is another one that is up for a rebuild sometime in the future! Coments welcome and appreciated. Be Well Gator Edited February 12, 2015 by gatorincebu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gatorincebu Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 Thanks Guys, yes thet utility bed is sweet. I sure would like to get a couple more of them. I did get a couple from Spaulding Trading and shipping this past summer. But I am not thrilled with them. I may end up scrathc building my own beds.
