Picked this kit up a couple days ago since my brother has an xtreme, I'm going to build it in the style of his even though the grilles and a couple other things are different, it will be lowered with shaved tailgate and roll pan, I would like to put a pair of 05 corvette rims on it since he wants to put them on his but I don't have any.
Here's his truck

Are you going to modify the grille? I think the grille on the real truck is much better than the kit grille. And do you have a stepside bed for it?

[BOSWELL891]

No I'm going to leave the kit as is for the most part, because I'm not building a exact replica I'm just building it in the style of my brothers truck

That's too bad, it would look so much better as a stepside.

[BOSWELL891]

I agree it would but I don't have the skill to make it be a stepside

[91blaze]

You could use the bed from the 1996 S10 LS Sportside or the '97 F150. They are similar but the F150 bed would probably have to be narrowed.

Got the chassis finished and the ground affects put on the bed and cab

Not a big update but got the body in primer just waiting for cooler weather before I do the rest of the paint and found a set of wheels and tires in my parts box that look really good and resemble my brothers wheels.
