Richard Olson rebuilt this Roco Dodge D-250 pickup. The pickup bed was replaced with a scratchbuilt stakebed on a lengthened chassis. The tilting flat/stake bed was built from styrene and scale lumber and includes removable stake panels and/or bedsides. Te chassis was modified by removing the material between the rear frame and detail, lifting the suspension and adding dual rear tires. Fuel tanks are from the parts box, mirrors and wipers from Roco, scratchbuilt mudflaps, taillights and running boards. Painted with Humbrol light and dark green, Floquil white, black and silver then slightly weathered.
