This is Shorty White, Now belongs to Grapeville Auto Salvage.
I bought this off of e-bay a fews weeks ago,
Worked on it this weekend.I have never had this model and always wanted to build a single axle Short hood White
So I got it, took it apart and weathered it, added my resin tires to the rear, put some high floats on the front, Added some extentsions to the front fenders, Lowered one side on the front to indicate a weak spring in need of replacement. Put some mud flaps on it and made the decals of a local junk yard and stuck it under one of my older builds the Great Dane trailer with a few junkers on.
I didnt build the frame and the engine But I had a blast glueing new life in to whats is to represent and old hard life.
One of those trucks thats worked hard and not given very much love- Just expected to work when needed
