KingSix Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Has anybody cast a 2003 and up dodge truck, for what would have been at the time, the Craftsman Truck Series ... ? All I really need is the body, or 2 of them .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 None have been, diecast and I am not sure if there are any to be honest for the 2003 year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailer Trash Kustomz Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 If there haven't been any done for NASCAR, like your looking for, I would suggest using the ram vts and modifying it for NASCAR truck series use. I understand there is a lot more to it detail-wise than doing a custom street truck, but that may be your best option. Use styrene to cover over the lights and grill if needed and use light and grill decals from another NASCAR truck/dodge race car (mainly for the grill look of the dodge) or paint the grill/lights yourself. In general I'd say use another NASCAR truck for the basic race truckers and mod the rest ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking for an '02 and up, different body style .. no real way to convert a 1st gen to a 2nd gen, completely different truck ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailer Trash Kustomz Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I understand the difference between 1st and 2nd gen. I was just making a suggestion as I'm not into the race trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingSix Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 Meh, it'll be one for the 3-D printer I guess .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01blueedge Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I know it would be a lot but the lindberg dodge raminator ramunition and the weird oh monster trucks are the only newer dodge truck kits i know of you might could fill the wheel wells in and use one of those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkster Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Why can't you use the Ted Musgrave #1 nascar Dodge truck that is out there for a build. Nice 1/24 model kit to build and a late model truck from the Craftmans truck series, just do the up date as needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailer Trash Kustomz Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 There's a guy named Jeff Metzger over on a Facebook resin group that just started casting these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
