Looks great! Glad you linked them like this. Wouldnt let me view them cause im not signed up to flickr. Well done!

[sassgrunt]

The bed you made is a work of art - much nicer than the stock all-styrene one. What is the gearbox/motor you are using? I was worried that there is so little room for one, but yours looks like a very compact unit.

[kaptain Jack]

There is very little room indeed,had to chop a lot of meet to fit in the Axial gear minus the cover, the rx and esc went under the seat.

[sassgrunt]

Thank you. That info helps a lot! I will go find a similar gearbox and use your photos as a pattern.

[kaptain Jack]

Had to make aluminum bracket to attache gear to the frame

The bumper is weathered and also the whole truck. It is practically finished.
Will take better quality pictures and post final results.

Wow amazing! Looks so good!

[frizzen]

Are the stake sides removable?

[kaptain Jack]

Thank you all, no stakes are not removable. Was planning in the beginning, but started to run out of steam, long project.

[Mikhai]

Kaptain Jack! Tell me please! What material is the cabin made of? What is the cabin made of? Plastic? How did you make the cabin?

[kaptain Jack]

Cabin is plastic, you can find it on ebay, just punch ZIS 150. Made by Kingkong rc. Сделано на Тайване, прекрасное качество.

[Mustang46555]

Looks GREAT! I love old school looking, weathered up trucks. Nice work indeed.

[Mikhai]

I live in Russia in the city of Sochi. We have a museum of old cars. There is a truck "ZIS-150" ("ZIL-150" - "ЗИС-150" - "ЗИЛ-150") in the museum.

"ZIS-150 (since June 26, 1956 - ZIL-150) is a Soviet truck produced in the period from 1947 to 1957. In 1957 it was replaced by the ZIL-164 model, which in fact was a modernized ZIS-150. It was released 771 883 copies of all modifications."

Soviet russian truck "ZIS-150" ("ЗИС-150", "ЗИЛ-150", "ZIL-150") - this is a Аmerican copy of the truck "International КР-11".

The photo below shows an American truck "International КР-11".

"International KR-11" - an American truck, supplied to the Soviet Union under the state program "Lend-Lease" until 1945.

Nice truck ..... wishing one myself.

[Galahann]

Good job on the weathering.
It could be the twin of my King Hauler farm truck... :D

[kaptain Jack]

You are right, it could be. I like your King of the farm !
