"Not a bad build"
knightstalkr62
Overall this kit is a fairly straight-up Revell. Most parts fit well and little flash. I did encounter a couple of problems requiring some modification. If i glued the steering wheel with the tab on the column in front of the dash, then it sat way too high. If I glued it with the tab on the underside of the dash, then the column was too long to clear when I tried to slide the seat/floorboard inside of the cab. I glued the tab under the dash, then snipped the column back so it would clear. Additionally, the tail gate was a hair too wide to fit in the designed notches in sides of the bed, and didn't leave room for the caps containing the tail lights/backup lights. I had to sand the tail gate to shorten it. They left the red lenses out of the kit so I had to fill in the tail light sockets with red transparent paint. Aside from these problems everything else went together well.

"This is one of those kits you should get."
jtanaka300 (jtanaka300@aol.com)
The details are astonishing way up to the clear headlights and the transparent red taillights. The truck’s bed does a fine job of simulating the wood panels and just painting them will give it a realistic appeal. This truck has been reissued in a variety of forms such as the 2n’1 version to the current one. The chassis comes in two parts which make it easier to piece the cabin and bed together. You need to do some modification to make the bed line up to the cabin, though. Also, the front bumper is a little off to the driver’s left so you will need to make some adjustments to center it. Dish out those wipers because they are too fat and long. It’s better to use photo-etch wipers if you want that realistic look.

 
"Two thumbs up!"

Great kit. This is one of those must buy kits. Lots of detail and excellent casting. This truck offers lots of possibilities for different builds. I chose this truck for my first stab at a weathered landscapers truck and had a ball! Only wish would be for opening doors and perhaps a straight 6 engine option besides the 283. I plan to purchase a couple more to do a lowered full custom and a jacked up mudder.

I love this truck it is a great addition to my truck dioramas and garages I love building trucks and this one definitely has a lot of different ways you could build it and that’s the beauty of this truck you can chose to lift it lower it keep it stock height or what ever else you can imagine I definitely am going to put another one in our stash and you can not complain about the price on this truck Pros: easy on the wallet, Very detailed, nicely casted, lots of possibilities, great for dioramas CONS: minimal flash if you are thinking of picking up this kit then do it it is a lot of fun to build this kit and you will have a lot of fun with it and it will look good for dioramas or whatever you want to make it for and it looks really good for my diorama on classic trucks
