1965 Ford F-850 Grain Truck - By Richard Olson


This 1965 Ford F850 grain truck by Richard Olson was built from the newly released grain truck from Athearn. Richard took an evening to correct a few issues to create a more prototypical truck. The bed was shortened by four scale feet and the wheelbase/chassis was shortened by 15-scale inches. Richard also revised the location of the front turn indicator lights to the fenders. He then touched-up the few areas needing paint and weathered it. Great model!
