Inspired by the famous 1939 Plymouth Air Radial Truck, I decided to build my own version of an air radial-engine truck.
The original Air Radial Truck:
For my conversion, I decided for the 1948 Ford F-1 Pick Up. So it's not a 1 to 1 replica.
On the original vehicle, I don`t like the interior (I think it`s a little bit too cheesy). That's why I've made my interior a little bit cleaner and more decent.
All modifications (complete engine, complete interior, load bed etc.) are built from scratch.

That transformation is amazing! What brand is the base model? The engineering on the motor is genius too!

I love the kid's pedal car in the back though, great touch!
