Here’s one I’ve started and painted twice I’ve had it for several years thought I give it another go. I’m going to give it another paint job and maybe add some details to it

I’ll be adding some Don Mills tow hooks and brake/gear shift levers to this. I also removed the fuel tank and air tank to give them a better look

Jeff,  Harv, and  Carl Thanks for the complements 

[Clunkmeister]

Awesome work, Lee. I got bogged down on a simple White 6 ton 6x6 build. Just can’t seem to get motivated. 

I’ll be watching this one develop

Thanks I was looking at these pic last night. I might get a trailer to put behind it 

[Martinnfb]

Most definitely.

I wish there was a CMP conversion.....

Got some more done this evening. I fixed the fuel tank by adding a piece of styrene to the back of it. I added the tow hooks, air tank, sanded the tires and upgrade the cargo bed by added some styrene strips. I think I’m going to call it a night.

Some nice looking progress there Lee.

Is this the same truck from First Blood? Just remember the scene where Rambo goes back to the town and drives through/over the cop car. 

[Clunkmeister]

Martin, these look like Canadian M135 Jimmys...

Those were our issued Deuces when I was in.  At least for the first half...

You bet Ernie, CMP's for sure, GREAT BIG gas engines..... ! Pistons like tomato juice tins !

[Martinnfb]

Of course they are, Canadians lurking around Danube river,

I got a speeding ticket in one of those Cadillacs. 72 mph. Down a BIG hill, with a tailwind. 

Oh, and never reverse in high range. The transmission would often break.

I removed the slats after finding out thy were the bench seats folded up so I glued the seats that came with the kit and removed some pin marks
