This has been languishing around for almost a year. Finally said what the hey and finished it. Not the best model I've done. There are some paint and clearcoat issues. Plus, the wheels are too big for body to be glued to chassis without some decent floorpan mods. Used this kit,

Inspired by this truck,

Couldn't find a match for UPS brown, so I painted it some Krylon brown and clearcaoted with Krylon. Wheels and brakes are Fujimi 20" BBS,

Chassis,

All but finished truck. Still need to install exterior mirrors, butits otherwise done,

Thanks for looking. Feel free to comment and or critisize

I love the concept. Had thought about building that one some time ago. I think with some modification to the chassis and floors you could have gotten it to sit lower. The rimes look like they're the perfect size. The paint looks good. I think some wet sanding with big grit and some clear could fix that orange peel.

It's always great to finish a kit that was sitting in your stash for a while. Great job oscar.
