Well, it's finally done! After inumerable delays, two run-ins with the cats (Cats - 2, Truck - 0), lost parts, etc.; I am proud to present my Keep on Truckin' Alternate Submission.

Enjoy!















Hope you liked it. Extras include: wired engine (per Ken Smith's article), Ryder decals from Model Express, Ford logo decals from (the now defunct) DMTW, 2-hole Budds from Dave @ AITM, steerable front axle, & tilting hood. I've been working on this one concurrently with the GMC Astro, but I finished this one first, so I figured I show it off.

Nice!...but two things;
1) I'd stick the cats in the back of that thing{hahaha}
2) don't forget to remove your "73 ford short hauler" off your "on the workbench" section...
