1965 Ford F600 scale model

The real Ford F600 on the farm (wooden box)

When I turn my attention to model building, a lot of my inspiration comes from the desire to replicate memories.  I like to try my best to put these memories into some tangible form.  In this case I wanted to replicate a truck that I have a lot of fond memories driving on the farm back when I was a young man.  The vehicle is a 1965 Ford F600 with a wooden grain box.

Watch this exciting build replicating a 1965 Ford F600 grain truck that was used on our farm.  Below is the videos in order starting with a brief introduction to the scope of the project. Enjoy!
