This is a new conversion from KP Conversions .
I950 Ford F8 requires Monogram/Revell 1950 Ford F1 pickup kit for,interior,engine ,bonnet etc.The ideal donor chassi would be the Italeri Opel Blitz. See photos for a better idea.
Cab casting,grille and side steps. Right hand dash not shown(not finished yet)

Would you consider putting up a tutorial on scratch building the
chassis with pics, the opel blitz is getting hard to find now.
