News from Showcase Miniatures

Just in case someone on TRW is not on Showcase Miniatures' email list, today Showcase Miniatures announced a Ford F-750N farm truck with three different configurations for the bed!

Thank you Walter and Debbie for this much needed model vehicle for our N scale farms!

Edit:  Oops, the model designation should be a Ford N-750.

 A great big thank you for the heads up on this! I have mine ordered. My wife's family farm has one about like this except it's a GMC (but that's ok because I'm more of a Ford man myself). I've been hoping that someone would do one of these in the grain bed for a long time.

Does anyone know what year(s) this body style represents.  This could have other kitbashing uses.  Thank you.

Jeff,

It looks like 1963 to 1970.  The LN series (Louisville Line like the Atlas LNT-9000) came out in 1970, which replaced the N series.  https://www.curbsideclassic.com/curbside-classics-american/storage-yard-classic-1963-65-ford-n-series-super-duty/

Edit: I have a book that has 1969 as the last model year of production for the N Series.  Maybe there were unsold 1969 models still available at Ford dealers in 1970  :?

Very nice.  Drove one of these loaded with corn at age 14 to the mill.
