Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

Vintage Stakebed & Flareboard Trucks - By Randy Sawyer


These two vintage truck models were made by kitbashing two out of date Packard model kits by Snapperroo. The original bodies were removed with a cut off wheel, and scratchbuilt truck cabs were made and installed in their place. On the flareboard, the cargo box was built up with styrene and scale lumber. The stakebed was built up using scale lumber by Northeastern Scale Models, and wheels were used from two Jordan Highways kits. Driver figures, and MV headlight lenses complete the scene.
