RandyEarle Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 What would you use to build this big rig pickup truck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaronw Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 You could start with this resin cab from AITMhttp://www.aitruckmodels.com/pages/ck40dodgecntconvkit.html As for the chassis and bed, maybe AMT Dodge Little Red Express? Several options for the 4x4 and wheels 1984 GMC, one of the Monogram high roller kits, or a monster truck kit would probably work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopar - D Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Randy I agree with Aaron the AITM resin cab will be a excellent cab you will need a good frame under it as the resin is a little thick and on the heavy side. This is a very cool truck I've seen a couple other pictures of it. A v10 would look nice in it to!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Now that is the coolest pickup truck that I have ever seen!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabrux Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I've pinned that truck on Pinterest but haven't seen any other views of it. Not sure what the bed is, probably a custom build as it certainly isn't a Dodge unit. The fenders, maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistermodel Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I 've read about this truck.The 1/1 is a 5 ton truck chassis with 1 ton axles.I'd start with an AITM cab,AMT ford Louisville frame,Lindbergh L700 engine /trans but should use an automotive big block for some better detailed bits and pieces. ,and rear fenders off a little red truck kit.I cant say where to get 1 ton axles though.

Fabrux Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 The Monogram Ramcharger kit has Dana 60 front and rear; might work on this beastie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
