DRIPTROIT 71 Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 I picked this bed and cab up from Mikemodeler, thanks again! This is the best resin Topkick that I have seen. It came complete with battery boxes and tanks. I used the new release of the old Ertl 4300 for the chassis. I cut down an Italeri Cummins to represent a 3116 Cat, although the hood doesn’t open. The 1 ton GMC was built specifically for this rollback project. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincen47 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Nice job with both of them. A nice clean build for the Topkick, looks fresh, maybe out on one of its first jobs. The ol gmc is great too. Nice details in the bed, and I like the old rag for a fuel cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happy grumpy Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Somehow I missed this one, I like everything about it, the rusted chevy is awesome. Great craftsmanship on display here. I almost missed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious to see how it looks! Thanks Alex!! I didn’t take any pictures of the engine. I got the oil pan measurement from the real thing. I then took an Italeri Cummins and cut it down to match those measurements. I chose that engine because of the basic shape and I had one junk. The oil filter and starter were very close to the right place when finished. It can only be seen from the under side as I made inner fenders. I will try to get some under shots later.

Dutzie Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Awesome job, Brian! Really like the look. Can you send me the measurements of the cab? I have an .stl file of a 1970 C90 that I would like to resin print. The first one was a tad small and needs a few tweaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grille, side emblems and engine came from Rookie Resin. The hood was found on Ebay. I made the rear window conversion myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
