The masters are done and looking excellent. Yes I'm very partial or should i say attached to this one . After studying the cab and came up with the idea of a factory 4 w/d version of this truck . That was never made that i know of . It really makes a nice mockup of what should have been back in the day..when you take the wheels and tires off of the jeep that is on the shelves it really looks good . I wish I had the time to build a prototype right now .
Somebody has to come up with a giveaway idea. So that i can get one out to someone. That would build it asap. Come on someone find away to give one away like yesterday. Thanks again. And I'll try and get a photo posted in the next couple of days

I did one using the casting by Tom Coolidge that was based on my master of that cab. The frame came from line drawings in a Dodge body builders book.

I managed to get one good and one bad bed from the mold. Thinking it was my mistake and going to try and get a couple more tonight. cant get the badging to look as nice as i would like to see . I think while its cool ill try and get a head start on parts i also think Ron may be happy to see some of these boxed and ready. In fact i will try and have about 5 or 10 boxed and ready in the next week or two.thanks for the feedback.

Thanks not as hard as i should but its getting there. The cooler weather really helps. And being able to use charlie's master for the cab makes a ton of work saved for me.

The off road bed mold turned out awsome
And the best part is how good the mold works and the parts come out so nice. I really like this cooler weather.

What front end is on this truck? Becuse they had changed them 3 times in the 10 years of the sweptline from 61-71 and if you have a D100 or D200 single cab long bog with the 61-64 front end I would be interested.

The one in this picture is a 70 plus single modern headlight
I am in process of doing the early single cab single headlight and after that one will be the 4 headlamp similar to the modelhaus one they had. I can move some things around.
My brain is not great sitting here right now but sounds like you may want the 4 headlamp one like is popular on the net right now. If you want email a photo to
The holygrailresins@gmail.com I use Charles masters and make little changes here and there for years fender shapes etc. To try and get what you want. Like the 500 off road as i call it is the big truck cab that means it has the big fenders then i modifyed a bed .to have the big fender so you can build a 4 wd with big offroad tires . But as you prob know dodge never made it that way. Thanks

Ok it would be Awsome to have a 4 head light 61-64 D100 or D200 truck like the modlehause one I. The only other differences from the 61-64 and the 70 like the one you have now are the front end change, the 61-64 had a small back window, small tail gate and they had round tail lights.
The 70 D500 4x4 off-road that you are making looks awesome and makes me wish that dodge acutely built them.
