Thanks .... When I get home ill check , I wrote the measurements on random card board when I was doing this , ill check tonight and pm you .. If you have the extended cab , you dont need to much to extend , tricky part is cutting it as even as possible , if not leave room so when you clean the cuts evenly you dont take of too much plastic ...

another update ........ i scratch built some dually fenders from the quarter panels of the escalade.....with some sanding and putty it will be oem ..

little more progress ..... long bed is taking its shape >>> i shaved the lower moldings , added some putty , STILL needs to be sanded >>>>> filled in the missing gap for the cab >>> and got some new wheels underside of new long bed conversion got some new wheels of a italeri western star kit , 1/24 scale , using aoshima 18" tires stretched on mock up >>>>> and here is where the resin truck rims will end up on after some thinking

THANKS ^^^^^^^ lil update , i recieved a donor body and bed from dave zinn . so long bed will be in progress . as well as the missing gap on the cab .

layed out the 572 ......... glued the heads on , glued trans together... might blow out the 572 sanded first coat of putty on the rear door panel more putty work started working on tailgate this evening ... im using the escalade taillight assembly but staying with silverado lenses

this is real sweet man ! .... i think you can squeeze a racing mini cooper in there , like a transporter , and have a lounge type thing going on for the crew , idk just ideas in my head ... or a real long pimp status van , pool inside , etc......

Truckaddict , shoot me a message , I bought an extra kit for parts , it didnt have the cab and bed , but I have two grills now .....

Thanks bandit1 ! Cant wait to see what you build , shoot me a message when you start your thread .

Tooltas , the caddie wheels didnt appeal to me ... I searching for some semi wheels now , found some earlier today but sold out.

Grayghost , heres the link ... http://vcgresin.atspace.com/ , thats who I bought the 572 from

Grayghost , when I get home ill post the link to the website , I picked up the resin engine at a model show last weekend in upstate new york , they had quite a bit of resin products the company that sells this motor... They had like 3 different styles of 572

Tooltas , ill look into those wheels ... I was thinkin of just tubbing out this truck with dually wheels without the dually fenders ..... I have to search for those diecast trucks , looks like there wheels might be to big ...

Wow , im super inspired man !!!! Looking great !!!!
