"FORD RULES"

groundpounder1956

Great model. Ford truck models are always fun to build. This model has 2wd, 4wd suspension choices, and bed cover, rollbar with lights. Pay close attention when building as to which front end setup you want, 2 or 4 wheel drive..the transfer case and all driveshafts are a nice touch. Only con, is the cheap plastic the models are made of these days. Thay need PRIMING BEFORE PAINT, if not the colors will vary due to cheap pastics. Not like the models of the old days when you could paint right over the base shell. Primer a must for a nice paint job. Also, truck details out nice.

Somethings amiss with this kit, I owned the real truck and the body seems a bit off, but hey its a model! I was challenged to find the right wheel tire combo as I didn't care for the ones supplied but I think that may be an ailment of mine! with the right setup it makes a beefy looking truck! I really like the 2WD 4WD option and the tonneau cover. I thought the supplied exhaust was a bit on the wimpy side, but nothing that can't be corrected. I may buy a second one and try converting it to a 2WD shortbed version. this is a fairly easy build and by looking at the pictures from other enthusiasts the sky's the limit! Enjoy!

If youâ€™re looking for a late 70s pickup this is it. However, be it known that this is a typical amt kit with vague instructions and many fitment issues. Although there are potentially many things to talk about with the cons of this kit, my biggest issue was with the tires, wheels and wheel backs. Like a square peg in a round hole. Good candidate for aftermarkets. Having said that, time and patience will produce something nice, and creativity can produce something stellar. Pics will soon follow.
