Jordan White Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 (edited) For this build I'll be taking my already built 1984 GMC truck, and combining it with the suspension/wheels/tires from the 1990 C1500 kit to make a custom truck. Here's how it started out: Here's the body so far. I filled in the creases in the bed sides, added and filled in a roll pan, filled in the front filler piece, and fabbed a custom grille out of round tubing.

Chuck Most Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 So far, so good- you don't see too many of these slammed out in model form! You're making me want to dust off that stripped '84 kit I've got laying around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobra98 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Looking good,the tube grille is a nice touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan White Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 Thanks so far! Right now I'm getting the engine built up, and the suspension figured out. I'm planning on setting it up like a 70's muscle car with the jacked up rear, traction bars and lift shackles, and of course some fat meats.

gray07 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 very nice, i like the jacked up look, when i first started driving in the 80s thats how we drove our vehicles, air shocks all the way up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan White Posted July 16, 2010 Author Share Posted July 16, 2010 Thanks! Here's the completed interior. Went with tan leather, billet shifter, white-faced gauges, and I turned a spare fire-extinguisher into a nitrous bottle. I also threw a tach onto the steering column.

Danno Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 I like that desert-sized thermos bottle on the console! What's nitrous? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan White Posted July 17, 2010 Author Share Posted July 17, 2010 What's nitrous? Nitrous Oxide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan White Posted August 21, 2010 Author Share Posted August 21, 2010 Well I finally finished this build. It started as a 4WD and was converted to a 2WD using the front suspension from the 1990 C1500 kit. I decided to go with a sort of 70's muscle car stance, with more of a 90's street truck look. I built a custom grille, custom airdam, 90's style headlight covers, tonneau cover, rear roll pan, added rear window louvers from the C1500 kit, added a supercharger to the engine, wired up the plug wires and battery, added a nitrous bottle, fabbed traction bars and lift shackles, and I added headers with header-mounted glasspack mufflers.

Railfreak78 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I am a huge fan of the box Chevy/GMC trucks and this is a cool take on this one. I've seen a few street/ Pro street ones and they are mean looking on the road. Cool truck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodneyBad Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Really tough call. I thought the first Version was a nice Classic keeper. The rebuild tho, looks really great. I Really Like the 2 Tone color Combo. Jacked all up in the real looks like a Really Cool Classic too.. Nice Looking Truck... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan White Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 Thanks guys! I wanted to use the front axle/transfer case from the GMC for another build, so I figured I would make it into a 2WD street truck. And since I love the looks of the 70's jacked up muscle cars, I figured it would work well for the truck. Plus, I'm trying to work my way out of the alternating-two-color paintjobs!
