Pick up truck/suv build?

Recommended Posts

Ok, so I know this has been done to death, but I can't help myself knowing there is so many kits and people out there building a pick up or suv type vehicle I thought it might be a good idea to start another CBP.

I know I got many so it would be cool to see other peoples take on one all in one topic.

I just want to mainly have fun and see what you all got when it comes to a truck/suv.

So here is the ONE rule:

- Has to be a pick up/suv type vehicle and can be built any way you want to build it(stock, street, drag, 4x4, etc...) as long as it's still a truck at the end(no truck planes or ship trucks :lol: )

I think a good start date would be now and run till may 25. I think that would give you all(including myself) enough time to finish your build.

Also you can build as many as you like.

Let me know what your entry is and the style your gonna build it and I will list it here:

Entry's:

Bowtiebadboy33: 1965 chevy pick up-stock/mild custom

mopar01lee: 1979 Dodge d50- drag

Ok, since you guys said sure, I guess this will be the official build thread.

I have no clue how long the time frame will be, so I'll let you guys pick, I was thinking around 6 months or so.

I'll say anything that is a pick up/suv from 1950-present because I have many from different era's and I like all kinds trucks.

Let me know on what you think is a good time line and then I'll get the ONE guideline done.

'55 f100......Rebuild as tow vehicle, needed to tow trailer for hauling rods and race cars.

427 SOCH, remove running boards, chop top, channel to lower around 19 and 23 Pegasus CL s, welded and reversed tailgate , wooden bed.

This is what is getting a face lift:

Ok so here's what I am starting with, the revell '77 jeep cj7. It was an old build up so I got to taking it apart. I don't know If I'll use the frame or not, since I have plans for it which arn't 4x4 related. :)

Well, before I can start my A-100...I'll have to find it!

I honestly have no idea where it could have gone.

I'll still do it, especially as multiples can be done. But for right now, I'm switching to an AMT 1960 Chevy pickup. This will be built as a stock truck, as will the A-100, once I find it.
