After the initial chop I decided to keep it light. I went ahead and masked out the cab roof. I painted the roof and doors a shade of green. I went ahead and composed a framework and bed for the flatbed portion of the truck. Next I cut it out of .04" styrene on our laser.
I will say honestly my first impressions of the assembly were not all that great. After looking Bob Willard's trucks, I feel like I over engineered the whole thing. Despite my sour first look, I figured what the hell and kept building the whole thing.
Currently I found a cheesy rear-end differential out of a kit my father dug out somewhere. The last few things are; sand and prime to whole thing black, attach the wheels, and affix the bed planks. Last of all is to the attach the cab and super detail.
I'll post pictures and diagrams soon.
