This is a custom Greenlight diecast depicting the 1971 Ford F250 from the video to "Seashores Of Old Mexico" by George Strait, also seen in "Hostage", "Herbie: Fully Loaded" and "The Devil's Rejects". I detampoed, sanded, aged, weathered, rusted and detailed the casting, painted the seats and door panels tan, and the underhood area, wheels/tires/axles & chassis are detailed and weathered too. Bumper on front is from an M2 1967-72 Ford truck, rear from a Racing Champions 1980 Ford Bronco. I'll later add accurate side mirrors to it.

:) I know you don't always like my customs or my taste in diecast, but I knew you would enjoy an old weathered red F250.

Great job! That's really a good looking truck. Cool transformation from what you started with and good choice of bumpers.
