Here's my MT build    Let the building begin  First up correct the bed...going to cover up the spare tire panel lines  Next replace the inner bed side ( for spare tire location ) so it will match on both sides  Left side inner panel turned around and re fitted to right side...and piece of bed floor needs installed    Next chassis work  More later and comments welcome |

Wow - very cool. Did you make a mold or something from the original side? Actually jb is right I have many of these Ford truck kits just cut up another bed for the parts , as I have seen all the kits (MT...pick-up kits ...and 4x4 street trucks ) that use this style Ford body have the same bed in all the kits , this body style covers 1973-1979 only change was different grilles for different years |

Update 8/11 more chassis work done did not like the shocks from the kit (look like off road with the dust covers on them )so came up with the ones I installed think they look much better 
 Also some mock ups the wheel wells look way to small from pics of the real truck I've seen so I made them a little longer as they look better (I think )   More later comments welcome |

WOW Nice work Paul!
The truck gonna have "Quad-Steering"? The turned HUGE tires looks GREAT! I think that always adds to a model when its had the steering made to be "seen".....

First up correct the bed...going to cover up the spare tire panel lines
