Now, glue the front on top of the frame.

Attach the cargo bed
At this point, glue the cargo box to the frame as marked.

It's looking like a truck with the box on. Looks good, Isaac.

Wheels
This is the one aspect I hate. Making wheels from paper. These look square shaped tires. Since I do not have my rotary tools on this trip, I can’t use my method of stacked discs.
Anyhow, here is the wheel     Of interest is the shiny hub cap just glued in the center and really does not fit the inner hole ( at least not for me ) All together there are four wheels and on spare. Isaac

Wheel on
I used a wood dowel for axle
 Here is the wheel installed. For now just a tight fit with no glue. Isaac

Wheels installed
All four wheels are installed and in place.
The spare wheel is in the cargo box for now, but can be glued to the frame rear bottom. The build is done.

Conclusion
This is a pleasant model to build. Not a beginner for sure, but also not complicated. The main issue I had is the proper curvature of the cabin, engine hood and fenders. The basic shape has been retained.
The instruction sheet needs a bit more detail and close up pictures. Since this is not a replica of an actual truck, there is no checking it for accuracy. This is a fun build and I would encourage others to build it. However, since Morin is currently unreachable, you may need to find a proper way to get the file ( not from me ) And to add to the nostalgia, some pics from a recent trip to St Augustine Florida    Isaac

Isaac,
A nice shape to the kit. I know that you're on a road trip, but will we still get some glam shots of the completed model? Gary
