I noted that the Dodge truck shown from Matchbox is one of the few that is quite close to 1/87 (I believe 1/86) so I made this one into a race car transporter with a scratch built bed. The 55 Chevy is a Malibu piece. One more here in the 1922 Packard truck from Jordan. I decided to leave the bed off so one can see the unique and detailed running gear of the Packard. I also attempted to build the Packard Single Six, exposed here.

Nice Packard Chester. Now you can take that wonderful chassis and put a bus body on it; buy some poles and turn it into a 1923 Packard trolleybus (Toronto had 5 of them), one with a different body tested in Detroit. Photos easily found on the internet.
have fun, Swamp Daddy
PS - oh how much fun it is to sit back and issue instructions for hard work to others. LOL.

Something shiny here. Took the Imex Peterbilt and cut the windshield area out, added a scratch built radiator and grille and a dump body from Ralph Ratcliffe. The Alcoa wheels are from a Don Mills kit.

Chester, Wonderful transformation. I would not have imagined the Imex Pete as the origin of the cab Dave
