disabled modeler Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Hi Jason!....The truck is sweet!!! Nice job on saving the old girl... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torinobradley Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Hi Rick I used the gmc chassis and lowerd it the same way as a real truck. Was that the right way with modified springs and lowered spindles or the low-buck way where they heat the springs till they sag and the truck rides on the rubber snubbers??? Nice save!!! I, too have one of these waiting in the "save" pile. I only hope it comes out this good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
