::KJ's:: F150 SuperCab

[UNGLEWD]

Looking around the past few days for a cool base to test the new GCM MetalHead axles on. I want something fairly large, durable and most importantly a body that's as easy as polycarbonate to replace if things go bad!

The new Fords from HPI are just about to be released and I'm hoping to see where some simple mods will take the body to up the realism in the grille area and a few other spots.

Growing up my Dad had a big SC with a big block in it and I remember being in the passenger seat and having him just turn into the ditch and go for it....any ditch! I may try and dig up the photos and get it looking close to the original. I haven't had a big raunchy Ford pickup since Lurleen and the timing's just right!

A little inspiration until I can dig up the other pics, not all SuperCabs but have the same feel none the less...






Will be hard to resist that old orange and red fade down the side with a black base...man I wish the Bronco was out!

I'm really digging the new SC body as well. When I was small my dad had a green 3+3 work truck. That thing was a monster :)

My folks had a '79 Supercab, big old beast of a farm truck! I can't wait to see one of these bodies up close and personal like.

You need pictures of James' truck (not sure what his super-duper secret code member name is).

 

[UNGLEWD]

Yeah, that's right he's got one of these too....I'm sure that he's on one of these bodies as soon as they arrive also

 

[generis]

this is going to be heavy and incredibly strong. I hope the body is as tough as the rest of the truck!! [[[

ON IT? In the bed?

 

[Hillbillycrawler]

What happend to the Jeep build for the new parts?

LOL... in it and it's a sick truck, you're right Rick.
Maybe this will finally pull old Pat into the scale end of things!

What happend to the Jeep build for the new parts?

Jeep is still on but what I've been instructed to do with the axles I don't want to subject hand built body to just yet! After I enjoy this rig I'll move the axles over and maybe narrow them for the Willy's buildup

No doubt the body will take a lickin... maybe just maybe if I do this right this big raunchy Ford will get me that honorary Axle Twister membership I've yet to get?

Muddy Ford AT guys...

 

[UNGLEWD]

Just getting mocked up and thought you guys would like to see the actual size of the body... I'm loving this one!
Sitting on top of a bone stock honcho, 1.9 wheels and 1.9 Irocs






Not the tires being used, just a sample!

 

[generis]

This is just screaming for a long 4TEN. That's a freaking sick body. I can't wait to see what you do with the paint and details!! Look at the sick little fender flares on it!!

 

[Alphatee21]

thats awsome cant wait to see what u do with this one. ur going to have to pull out the chassis stretcher on this one!:luxhello:

 

[chevycowboy1985]

that is cool and one long truck can't wait to see this build

 

[jeenyus]

Looking good Kev!

 

[kyle_l]

thats one long body, this build is going to get good. i think a hole bunch of us should get together for some mud drags.

There's a definite line for the cutout but the lexan's solid. It messes with the eyes a little so I'm cutting out the back window to replace with a slider. Will snap some pics for you to take a look.
