41 chevy stake bed

Description

Just one of my old models from many years ago Ive built as a junked flat bed. Originally, I just had it painted flat greed with black fenders, and I had pastel dust on it. Since I couldnt find any dcnt truck wheels I had for smaller scale semi truck wheels on it. Its been sitting in my parts bin for awhile, then I decided to rebuild it and make it rusty! I also had a trashed 35th scale army truck with huge wheels, which looked like 24th/25th scale wheels to me so I used those, sine they looked more vintage looking. I wanted it to look like a rough, unrestored flatbed, that's still driveable, so I added grease stains on the chassis and engine, and an "Antique Auto" Texas plate.
I also added a roll of rusty barbed wire, which tou can kinda see on one of the stakes.

The whole stake bed was all scratchbuilt years ago from balsa, and the tail gate and latch was made from bits of styrene. The chains are just jewelry chains I had left over from building a ship model. I added my usual engine detailing, plug wires, fuel lines, hester hoses and a wired horn

I almost bought a truck like that with a sugarbeet bed on it (side dump). It was in about the same shape :lol:
