This is a 1/64 scale casting.
VERY UNIQUE!!! TRUE ONE OF A KIND!!!!
No Kidding!! The pics are pretty good, but, I can't stress this enough, they do not do this Hot Rod justice!!

The most obvious addition is of course the FLEETSIDE Bed!!! It was slvaged from a Chevy Pro Stock truck. Body lines were a close match, but, the width of the bed was wider than the 69's cab, so, I cut a slit down the center top of the bed cover and carefully squeezed it inward until I got it close to the same width at the front so it would match the cab. This worked out fine and lso left the rear of the bed slightly wider, so, it has a very natural looking taper from cab to rear!!! I also grooved the part between the spoiler and bed in order to give the spoiler a little angle upwards!! The two parts were melded together with Marine Epoxy for a rock hard and secure bond and I filled the slit cut through the top of the bed cover as well!!
Next, the top needed a little help, so, I CHOPPED IT!!!!
It was reatached, sanded smooth, and then the glass was recut to fit the smaller new openings. The front glass was very carefully (and tediously) cut down to near size and then shaved as needed with an exacto knife so that it now fits INSIDE the new window frame opening!!! VERY CLOSE FIT!!!
The rear glass was attached to the interior section after it was resized and looks very natural as well!!!!
The entire stance of the truck was reworked as well, which required a lot of precision removal of parts of the interior and base to get the very aggresive look of "nose to the ground" with the back end kicked up just enogh for the new wheelie bars to clear!!!! The new Deep Dish wheels (w/RUBBER tires!!) were narrowed and tubed to fit and the base was cut out accordingly to allow them to roll perfectly and sit INSIDE the fenders!!!!
Also during this part of the build, I cut the hole in the hood and installed the BLOWER from a Fiat 500!! This also added to the difficulty of making the truck go back together properly, requiring still more modifications to the base and interior so that a proper fit could be achieved. When it fit correctly, I epoxied the blower to the interior section!!!!!!!
All in all, this truck took an extensive amount of work to achieve the body mods, but, turned out VERY VERY NICE!!!!
