another 63 tootsietoy "custom"
I bought 2 more metal trucks off ebay for a few bucks, hubcaps were missing on one but the other had a grill. anyway I got bored tonight and went to work on lowering one of them. front is dropped about 1/2" (could maybe go another 1/4 inch before i hit the fender on the inside. the rear is only down about 1/4 inch, so it has a large rake to it, but I can notch the metal frame to bring the back down some too before i hit the bed, but if i leave it off I can get it level with the front.
rake or no rake? bed or no bed?
anyway, its fun, then I can secure the axles and paint it, the red one is regular height.
stock vs drop
no bed, no notch in frame
with bed
my other one in gold regular height

You know, at first I was just thinking..it looks like they slightly modified mold for a late 50's pickup, and used the WRONG box to fake it being the newer model truck..
Then it dawned on me... was it some sort of sick joke they WRONG BOXED us again.. by making it out of plastic, they not only got the body wrong, but the metallurgy as well ! hahhahahahahha
We better adopt Rodney Dangerfield as an honorary member ! hahahah
