Ford F-850 Grain Truck - By Mike Ellis


Mike Ellis modified an Athearn F-850 Ford grain truck model by adding a "cheater axle" ahead of the driver axle. Mike cut a Life-Like coal load to fit the grain bed and painted to represent a corn load. Decals are by Ed O'Keefe. This is a truck line that Mike worked for as a teenager.
