Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

1957 Chevrolet Truck Tractor - By Jurgen Zander


This Chevy truck came with no manufacturer markings but it is usually marketed as “Looks good on your HO layout” because it is larger than 1/87 scale. Jurgen cut the pickup bed off and mounted the cab on a scratchbuilt brass frame. He added fender extensions and a skirting between the grille and the bumper. Testors metallic red paint is a perfect match to the existing paint on the cab. The trailer body is from Tyco and is mounted on a scratchbuilt brass frame. Part of Jurgen's award winning 2004 Holiday Model Contest entry shown in Photo Gallery 243 and also 252.
