Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

West Side Lumber Co. 1950 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup - By Joe Piazza


This is a model of a 1950 Chevy pickup used by the West Side Lumber Co. of Tuolumne, California. It is a Busch product, which Joe Piazza stripped the paint and repainted it using Polly Scale paints in a prototype color. The decals, including the Chevy logo were made on Joe's Alps printer. He substituted the Busch farm truck wheels for the chrome wheels which came with the truck. In the bed is a modified Resin Unlimited chainsaw backdated to represent a '50s model. There is also an Evergreen gas can. Finally, the mirror was made from wire and styrene.
