Hi Chris, I got your truck done for your layout. Since you gave me free rein to do whatever I wanted I went out on a limb a bit when I saw your post about how you dedicated a diner on your layout to your late brother Dennis so I got the idea to dedicate this truck to you and your brother Dennis. Hope you approve. The truck is built from a new mint old stock retired chevy made by speccast. I didnt like the bed so I scratch built a bed. Let me know what you think.

Chris,
Watch out that thing will hurt ya.
We had a 59 Apache dump just like that one on the farm when I was a kid.
We were chopping corn and blowing it into the truck. The next thing I knew the truck was on it's side and I was under a cooler full of Milwaukee's Best and my best friend
I didn't see the ground hog hole and with all the weight in the bed the truck went right on over.
Rusty,
That's one very nice job!!!!!

Chris, I'm relieved that you like it so much. The pictures dont do it justice because my camera is a little on the sucky side and when I load photos here they always look a little compressed or something. Heres another pic thru J&C to see if it looks any better. She's a leavin out tommorow mornin
