hotrod66c10 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Well this is my first post I have Ben lurking around this site for a while.just finished my 60 gmc it was a short fleet chevy truck. I scratch built the bed sides used the finders, 2 sets of steps grafted together from revells 65 chevy truck, tail gate is from amt 70s gmc. Frame was stretched using 2 amt frames. The gmc 305 v6 was scratch built using 409 valve covers, a international engine block, timeng cover is a Oldsmobile,intake is from a NASCAR kit shortened to v6,used kits distributor and car,air cleaner,3speed Saginaw transmission. Hood filler and grill where given to me from a friend I pulled a mold so I could make more later also used the v6 emblem from a diecast to cast a mold to make resin copies. Dash was modified to the gmc version. Thanks for looking and reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Nice work on the weathering! You rarely see anyone turn a short stepside bed into a long stepside bed. The V-6 is a cool touch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotrod66c10 Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 Thanks everyone! These trucks hold a special place in my heart. here are 2 of my real trucks that I have been working on 1 is a long step the other a short fleet. consequently don't finish as many models as I would like.it took me almost a year to build my little gmc.
