ridinframe Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Started this kit a week ago after a long time off from building. It started life as the revell gmc plow truck but, thats far from what it will end up as. I added the molding/ trim to the sides and tailgate sections, also added a drip rail, body dropped the bed floor so it can lay as low as possible. Should be a fun replica to build just need to find a set of wheels from a 72 Chevy truck kit like the stock hubcaps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gautreau Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Can't wait to see more on this build. I'll definitely be watching for your progress on it, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 You have done a great job on the trim moldings. They look spot on. Look forward to your build. I have owned two 1:1 C10s a '74 and a '79 and loved them both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modlbldr Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Looking great. I like the trim work too. I added trim to my 64 Chevy. The sides look too bare without it.Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can-Con Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Josh, If you're going for the look of the 1/1 in your pics, I'd suggest getting a set of wheels from a 1/18 scale diecast and using a set of Pegasus tires maybe.The 1/18 wheels would scale out to somewhere around 22 inches in 1/24 scale. The tires from the large Pegasus wheel sets might be a good fit but I'm not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plan is too put the stock wheel in the center for a 1:1 scale look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ridinframe Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 Still picking away at this every chance I get. A fellow member of the forum helped me out big time and modeled wheels in 3D for me. I can't thank him enough.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
