Dweb7321 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I'm starting with the monogram chevy 4x4, I added the axles from the revell mad mudder, and the wheels are aftermarket. other than that, the build will be pretty much box stock aside from wiring etc. and possible scratchbuilt bumper. as of now I need to make a longer rear drive shaft and a few things before I get the frame in paint.

Brizio Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Nice project! I like the lift a "drivable" one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dweb7321 Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 thanks brizio! I have the new rear driveshaft made out of a piece of the parts tree. I'm now thinking of using the mad mudder wheels and tires (possibly switch out the wheels for the factory six lugs) since the mad mudder tires have a little bit better proportion to the kit. enjoy. and as always tips are welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I like trucks up in the air. Keep going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARTEMIS1759 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 May want to trim them fenderwells or you will get a flat or mashed metal if you put those tires all the way up . Looks good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyglu Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 This looks cool, I have had a sudden obsession with older lifted Chevys lately. I want one bad and I see them all over my area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimastergary Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Nice one so far like how it is coming along I like lifted trucks with big tires. hoping to get back to model building soon got a bit of money so can finally build something to keep me sane and give me something to do with my free time got to much right now.

Guest Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 thanks brizio! I have an old buildup that looks exactly like this. Same wheels and tires. Good choice going with the Ground Hawgs. You would've had to lift it more to put those So Reals on. My old build had the rallies on it at one time and I loved the way they looked in the Ground Hawgs. The chrome got to looking bad and I switched them out for the chrome spokes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brokentail58 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 what are you going to use for the front axle ? I scratch built one for my "77" Chips truck project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dweb7321 Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 thanks for the comments guys. and to brokentail58, I'm using the axle that came with the revell mad mudder blazer kit, it's the same as the monogram axle and fits in the same spot, the shakles are just taller to give it more lift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
