Ive seen one on a resin site. It was not very pretty. Body was tweaked and the overall shape was not good. I would love to get a resin one so if some are available please let me know. Im still going to forge ahead with mine as its fun creating this stuff, even more fun when it turns out good. This one wasnt bad but not to my liking. I still may fix this one by pulling it apart and cutting out the entire back window area and putting a one piece unit in. I did not plan this out much. Did it all in about two hours. It was just in my head and I had to get this started. This is my second altered cab and both are fun. I am thinking I may have about 8 trucks when I am done and I dont know which one I like the best but its cool that I have lots of time and alterations and fabrication into some of them. Its getting the frustrations out of me. GREAT THERAPY!!!!
Chas.

This one was shelved a year ago. I had made another club cab unit because the old one was just cobbled together. This one needs a bit of bodywork but is a solid structure to work with. I cut the back off a new cab and filed a bit to get a good fit. I also cut down a long bed for the short box I wanted on this build. This is the start of another fun build.   |

I like the way it looked when you started this last year. This one looks even better.

Thanks guys, this one turned out better for sure. I have to add the drip rail and get out the little imperfections on the add a cab. I saw a website with a club cab on it in resin but I think it was an old site. I wish I had pictures of the complete cutting and creating of this one. In case anyone wants to try it I used a couple of crummy cabs. The first one was cut midway on the side of the door from the rocker panel to the roof on both sides. This left me with back portion of the window frame using the stock door openings rear side. For the front of the window framing I used another cab. I cut both door frames off about 3/4 of the way to the rear. Shaped them with the correct contour and then flipped them upside down and fit them into the gap towards the front of the window area creating a small complete window frame. It was really easy to do and took pretty much no time at all. Anyhow this is a one of piece that could be created again easily. Maybe a crew cab could be cobbled together at some point? Not many Little Red Express trucks as built ups, junkers, or cheap incomplete kits out there in the market now and im not going to pay a premuim price to get a kit and hack a good body up so I will just lurk around and keep my eyes open. 4 Truck models are about done with just little details to take care of so these get priority before the club cab gets worked on. Im doing some wierd things with the chop top pickup now between parts drying on the other three. I really really like these trucks for some reason?
