I bought this kit to try to use the tires on a 1/32 semi. I robbed a few parts from it for my Ford wrecker project, and I figured Id play around with whats left. For starters, I wanted to change the whole stance of the struck. The cab sits on the frame very strangely, so the first thing I did was notch the rear cab wall to let it sit lower on the frame. I also modified the fromt leaf springs to lower it some more. I ended up tucking the frame into the front in more by cutting out the engine, cutting some of the inner fender off, cutting a little of the bottom of the radiator as well. After all that, Im happy. I used the bed floor, but made new sides. I cut off the molded on sunvisor, and filled in the sunroof hole. After all of that, it looks just like the way I remember these trucks.
I added a piece of styrene sheet to the odd notch on the back of the cab. I rounded it over and blended it with the shape of the roof and back panel.
Now I kinda want to get a few more of these.
