Ford Overhead Cab Stake Truck
In an attempt to make a replica of one of my Fire Companies Tankers, I had planned to make two replicas of the truck. But after finding out how much there was involved in scratch building this tanker, I decided to just make one. So I took the second truck which was already painted to the scheme of the fire company, and decided to make it into the original stake truck that it came as. But I had a problem, with the truck made for a replica of a tanker, I extended the frame. So the flatbed that came with the kit was set way far back on the frame of the model.

So I sat down, took out my supply of styrene, and started to build a Crane. I myself was amazed after I was done how nice it came out. I have it so it actually works, and the Outriggers go up and down as well. I am still working on parts to put inside the bed for display.
