Luke DeWitt Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Well I took a risk and built a service truck with a 1/64th International Pickup. They are very hard to come by anymore and only certain Wal-Marts had them for only 4 USD but even then they were hard to get ahold of so they now run about 20 US from dealers who bought a whole bunch at 4 dollars. (I went to 5 different Walmarts and none had them)With that said I was pretty nervous with this conversion but I think it came out alright. There are a few issues with paint but they are pretty minor. I still have a few more minor details to add but with this model I took a service bed off of an Ertl truck and cut the bed off of the red CXT. I then painted it a Green with metal flake and painted the handles silver. I also added a Moores service truck kit. Before: After: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke DeWitt Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 Thanks for the comments guys Jamie: I used a little rattle spray paint can. I forgot how expensive those little cans are I was going to do a red white and blue theme but when I got to the store for paint I decided to stick with one color. Thanks Tris, I dug in a little deep on one end of the cab but a little JB-weld filled it in nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
