32 ford yup im down!

Im using the spare one for a K1500 build

Kit has a wood slat bed.

Now I have to try harder! You could just give me the misprint lol.

I’ve heard of people like that.

Well I wanted a crew cab dually for a while and seeing as I’m going to have to extend the frame why not extend it a little more! Started with an amt snap 96 Tahoe and an amt snap 96 phantom dually and started hacking away all the parts that are not an extended cab Dooley. Started with the removal of the running boards from the Tahoe, then removal of the rear of the Tahoe behind the doors. little mock up to see how the cuts are lining up. More measuring for the extended cab section and off to the garage for some messy cutting. This will be a simple curbside. I’ll be doing all kinds of flavours of the gmt400 body soon, so I’ll have reg cab long box, reg cab short box, extended cab long box, extended cab short box, extended cab step side box, reg cab dually, extended cab dually. Tahoe and suburban. My fantasy fleet of gmt400 body styles. If I can afford it I will be making them all gmc variants some with the w/t grille and some with the sierra grille( wish I had a 3d printer). more later as time allows, I’m doing this as a mind saver as I’m slowly packing for another move(sigh) this one is coast to coast west to east back to the island.

I feel the same way Bill. I haven’t built anything since the beginning of January, I’m packing away for yet another move. This time all the way back east.

I have an acquaintance that I like to call the Hoarder, I did a commission build for him before Christmas and he likes to trade, so I went through my stash for some stuff he likes and I won’t build lol, the SS was partial payment for the commission work. Now I just need a pile of GMC grilles.

Chris can you share the source of the Stl files, I’d like to purchase them and get some made. I have a multitude of obs trucks that need GMC grills. on a side note @iamsuperdan did you ever print any of the file you had?

@iamsuperdan think you will like this stack. My “Dealer” had a fresh supply of Peruvian and I had to have it all. 😜this should keep the urges in check for an awhile.

Tidy work on the paint @WillyBilly, worthy replicas, I’m in for the builds fan of both the cars.

If it has the same old small block ford hopefully it has some nicer accessory parts.

Yes, yes I have.

Look at the side panel of the box, it does show another set of wheels, so maybe it has the halibrands and the Kelsey Hayes. It’s hard to see clearly in the pic the op shows

I’m with you on the fender flares, it would be nice to have them for K series builds.

Jim, the more of your threads I go through, the more I have to come to the realization that I will have to invest in a resin 3d printer. cool work as always.

Currently it’s being over 6000 kms away from my bench.

Been messing around with some old and new versions of the AMt c1500 and c3500. I have some ideas brewing for some future builds. I’ll need to add some more full kits to the stash to accomplish the hoard I’m after. Question: does anyone make a gmc grille for this series? I know the phantom dually has a gmc style grille but those are kinda rare plus the lack of emblem leaves them needing more. I’ll need to hack and slash to make a crew cab option.

I don’t attach the floor to the door panels, I glue the panels directly to the body shell and trim off the tabs to mount to the floor pan.

Incorrect it came in this one

Not something new but more of a reconnection, I’ve been home visiting my family and my sister said that there were some boxes in her basement that I left behind, now I moved 22 years ago so I was surprised that all this stuff still existed.

@Ulf so glad that you took your progress to a new thread! Keep going you have a winner here.

Current long term never finished project, 1976 Vw Scirocco. I’ve owned her since 2002 when she was a Wretched abused daily driver for junior tech at a Pontiac dealer, I found her languishing in the back parking lot and had to save her.

Love the clear for the signal stalk, yet another little bit I’ve to add to the bench!

I believe that’s what they call levelling up Jim! Well done.
