Thanks all. No bed cover for this one. Did a little more interior work, not overly happy with the door panels, engraving is quite light, so only added a chrome strip along the upper portion, also used window cranks from replicas and miniatures.

The convertible kit has a fan, would think it’s same parts trees for the most part.

I like it! Have one of these in the stash, looking forward to seeing yours done.

That’s too bad, was a wealth of info/pics there.

Wow, that’s gonna pop with the cab colors!

Thanks all, a bit of interior work, not much really, but tried to woodgrain the console, and have the seats painted, floor will get flocking as I progress.

This is gonna be sharp!

Lol, ruined 3 kits to do the caddy, so far I’ve limited this to wrecking two.....

Thanks all. Started working on the interior transplant. This is where having a second kit in the stash comes in handy, as I do things backwards ( like to do the body first on every build, get it in color, and it keeps me motivated), it’s nice to have another body to test fit things - in this case, the interior. On a normal build, wouldn’t be necessary, but as I’m going to use the mopar interior bits, the other body helps. Dash is a real close fit, might have to add some styrene to the windshield edge to fill the gap, but it’s close. So so far I’ve cut the console off the superbird tub, and cut out one door panel and grafted it onto the elco tub drivers side panel, little filler on top to fill the gap, once dry, will shape it to fit the ‘window’ opening. Stay tuned .....

Man, that’s nice!

Color....

Body work is almost done,

Mine is T503, the other issue I have is from 1985, and that’s a 6635, so neither of mine will do.

Looking good, nice save!

No date on the box anywhere, so I’m guessing it’s the first issue maybe???

Like so?

That turned out great Ken!

Added some more putty to a few spots, sanded off the bed trim running down to the tail lamps, built the actual box/bed and got that fitting nicely into the body, and narrowed the ‘wing’ and massaged the uprights to fit the bed rails. I think next up is going to be figuring out how to finish off the lower front fenders. Thanks again for looking.

Wow! That’s very nice, very realistic pics, well done!

Great save!

Looking good! Love the color, and the details are great.

Thanks all. To be honest, hadn’t got to the point of the tail gate trim yet, not sure if I want carry it down, or lose it all together. I think once I get the body back there smooth, I’ll have a better idea. Still pondering what to do with the front lower fenders, have to get it somewhat on wheels and see what looks ‘right’. Thanks for looking, and feel free to throw out ideas.....

That’s looking really good, like the thought process of different sheens, well done.

Oh yeah, this is going to be sweet!
