Scratch-Built Ford LN-8000 Working Rollback Towtruck, Slides and Tilts just like the real thing, bed completely scratch-built.

Progress report of combining the Model King Open Road Camper and the AMT 1977 Ford Cruising Van together into a Ford Motorhome.

This was a 20 year long project. I call it "Orange Crush" because it took so long to complete. This was started in 1989 and finally finished in 2009. Most parts were lost over the years so many were either scratch built or taken from my partsbox. Body mods include a chopped top, opening doors and trunk, removeable real leather soft top, super detailed wired and plumbed 428 engine with 4 spd trans., everything detailed with master cylinder, brake lines, fuel lines, "moon" fuel tank in trunk, radiator hoses, cloth seat belts and carpet, computer edited dash gauges, Porsche door panels, custom seats, orange tinted windows, 29 Ford headlights and grille, detailed halibrand wheels, brake calipers and rear drums, quickchange rearend, etc. Custom computer graphics applied on body.Color is Testor's burnt orange with an overlay of turn signal amber pearl then buried in clear engine enamel and hand polished and waxed.
