Your photo angles REALLY showcase the unusual features of that pickup!!

Bravo!

Such an unusual real vehicle. And captured well in miniature.

I have it and am continually looking at just how weirdly the design was put together.

I painted the bed floor white (wood grain decals I had just would NOT work for me).

The paint didn't match that well. SO I have two 53 Caddy back seats in the bed to hide the paint more or less. Need a small table to go with. Lol. Your folks would have a place to sit, right? That truck just needs SOMETHING in the bed.

The Dodge Sweptside with Flight Sweep styling. Another great expression of the Forward Look.

beds and tables

I dunno Randall......last thing that couple needs is MORE time at the table:|

until you brought it up I had never really paid any attention to the truck bed floor...you`re right.....it just doesn`t look right......are either of these two bottom group pics faithful to the original ?...

I wanted to replicate the wood and chrome. IDK what is actually correct
