Chevy square body

[ridinframe]

Started this kit a week ago after a long time off from building. It started life as the revell gmc plow truck but, thats far from what it will end up as. I added the molding/ trim to the sides and tailgate sections, also added a drip rail, body dropped the bed floor so it can lay as low as possible. Should be a fun replica to build just need to find a set of wheels from a 72 Chevy truck kit like the stock hubcaps...

Working on getting rid of the molded in batteries and lifting the inner wheel wells so I can fit the wheels and tires..

If you PM me your address I will send you out a set of the wheelz you need.

Can't wait to see more on this build. I'll definitely be watching for your progress on it,

You have done a great job on the trim moldings. They look spot on. Look forward to your build. I have owned two 1:1 C10s a '74 and a '79 and loved them both.

Thanks for the feedback fellas. I've been making a little progress today and should have pics of that up soon today.

Looking great. I like the trim work too. I added trim to my 64 Chevy. The sides look too bare without it.

Got the notch and some tubing work done today. Lots more work to do but she's coming along great. 4 link is next and control arms for the front.

Josh, If you're going for the look of the 1/1 in your pics, I'd suggest getting a set of wheels from a 1/18 scale diecast and using a set of Pegasus tires maybe.

The 1/18 wheels would scale out to somewhere around 22 inches in 1/24 scale. The tires from the large Pegasus wheel sets might be a good fit but I'm not sure.

I have a set of Pegasus aluminum blanks? You can put your own center in them. The plan is too put the stock wheel in the center for a 1:1 scale look.

Still picking away at this every chance I get. A fellow member of the forum helped me out big time and modeled wheels in 3D for me. I can't thank him enough..
