MsDano85gt Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 got this on a e bay "wrecker lot" it was awesome that the mpc kit came with the box and most of the original parts to build the pickup someone pirated the bed of the super dually and all the probly awesome offroad tires that were originally there replaced by the revel "snaptite" like wrecker kit that has been reissued recently these 6 wheels are pretty nice and I mite use them for the build I just don't know whether to lift the truck and go 4x2 action or leave it low to the ground and make it rear wheel drive only a super fast super nasty 454 big block powered monster like the trucks seen in the cannonball run movies! I made my own "dually bed" by using an old parts box revel 65 chevy truck box and flares...... I simply widened out the flares by adding sheet styrene (seen on bottom view) to widen out the flares for the "dual" rear wheels I honestly feel my bed is more sharp looking than the one on the box art and I made it did I mention the box had the original instructions and the decals too? bonus plus I got a bunch of wrecker stuff this is my first truck post of probly many to come!

MsDano85gt Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 yep it sure did have the front diff. and rear axle and the transfer case so i think i may just go that route Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MsDano85gt Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 think I am going to go with the intended 4x4 style or is it 6 x4? because the rear end is dually? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
