Thank you! It's a nice conversion kit, my first time working with 3d parts. It took me almost as long to pick out a paint scheme as it did to build it lol -

53gmc started following Day cab astro 95 , Single drive crackerbox and Single drive crackerbox

Got this cab for my birthday, it's from global trucks. Used an astro as a donor. Following mods include: *shortened the frame by around 2" *shortened the fuel tanks. *converted to single axel using the spring and axel from a freightliner *converted the 8v71 to 6v71. Also made the fan to be a crank driven one. Lowered the radiator to fit. *added little details to the interior, sunglasses, map, magazine, model car kit, curtains, and roof mounted cb. *also added roof mounted ac unit, grab handles, photo etched windshield wipers, and mudflaps.

After finishing up the astro as a test run, I'm building the crackerbox I got for my birthday. A gmc astro donated its frame, freightliner rear axel and springs. So far I shortened the frame,fuel tanks, modified the intake and exhaust pipes, made new mud flaps, and converted the 8v71 to a 6v71.

Started off as an experiment to see if I could successfully cut down a sleeper to day cab configuration. Also shortened the the frame and fuel tanks, converted to single axel. Decals are from the new reissue. Modified the cb to be more realistic and added a hat to the passenger seat

Quick update, got the truck finished. I'll take more pictures tomorrow and do an under glass post. Thanks again everyone for following and have a great weekend.
