Dodge Pickup With "Topper" - By Bill Mosher


This pickup started as a Matchbox D300 wrecker. As the same cab was used by Dodge for all its trucks, just a quick removal of the running boards and re-shaping the fender wells made it just right for the pickup. Bill says, "Yes, I know the cap is too wide for the bed but so was the real one. Note the "F"-hole windows in the tail gate." The bed, rear fenders and the cap are scratchbuilt. And yes, according to Bill, the real one had blue flames too.
