The transfer case, trans, axles and front diff came from the amt EXT Cadi.. The motor came from a Revell 69 Camaro...

[plowboy]

That's a real nice looking Chevy! Are the wheels from the Caddi EXT? They really suit the truck. Nice work!

[Dr. Cranky]

Clean, well built model, keep up the good work.

[gray07]

Sweet truck.

[hd2500gmc]

Hey guys thanks for replies.......... The wheels came from a die cast I picked up Wal Mart a few years ago can't remember who made it.. Here is a link to most of the build.....

Did some work on the plow today......

[Michigan Madman]

I've been wondering when somebody was going to build an HD GM truck model. Liking what I see so far.

Bangor Maine- isn't that where Stephen King lives?

[Kit Basher]

Really, really nice work. Beautiful job on the truck, and the plow looks great! Is this your 1:1 truck?

[hd2500gmc]

Thanks for comments... This is close to my truck but is missing the fender flares and its a Chevy not a GMC... But it does have the 8.1 engine and alison trans in it here is a pic of my truck...

I may even try to build the Mallard camper in the back ground... Not sure about that one yet..

[N~8~Ball]

Nice build Dave. It's pretty cool to see build ups of everyday vehicles, Especially one of my favorites, A full size GM quad cab truck . It's a bummer nobody cast the parts in resin to convert it to a GMC. My wifes step dad has a GMC 3500 dually in your 1;1 body style. Great job on the over all build !! I really like the plow. Nate

[Ben]

Man, that is a sweet lookin truck!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is that a resin crew cab?

[hotrod59f100]

i wish i had the skills to build a plow like that .i like to see 1.1 made up .

[hd2500gmc]

Thanks for the comments...... Hey Ben this is two Revell 99 Chevy ext cabs cut up and put back together, the rear door handles and 4 wheel drive are from AMT caddi ext and the engine is a big block from the parts bin made in to a 8.1, scratch built the rest......... Here are some progress pics on the plow set up.......



P.S. Shane if I can do it any one can..... Just keep trying....

[tooltas]

yes
