Well 2 rearsons, 1.) the kit includes no A/C parts other than the Compressor, and 2.) I tryed adding the A/C parts from one of the S-Series truck kits but had problems. any other nit picks? Nick

No Problem, if you find something you'd like to build, feel free to jump in. Yes! Nice work so far Gordon.

there's a very nice 12 bolt in the '99 Silverado that can be slightly altered. Nick

Ok your added Sam. Nick

I was more basing it on the the Whitewalls and pin stripes, but thanks for the input.

Sure, your added to list Don't see why not those parts were available then. Nick

TV trucks according to a article in one of the magazines during the run of the series, they were 1/2 tons, and had Dana 44 front axel GM 12 bolt rear, but for a 3/4 ton it would have been Dana 44 front and 14 bolt rear, possibly Dana 60 rear. Nick

The GMC was done with a custom grille from the AMT C-3500 street machine dually kit and some letters made from styrene, the decals, I did by creating the art then printing the decals. Nick and thanks everyone.

It is Finished Now and Jordan and I have made our collabrative Post The Lesser Known Sport/Muscle Trucks Nick

Most may know the Chevrolet 454SS and the Ford Lightning, but both had lesser known Cousins that few think about, Jordan and I both have built replica's of these lesser known Sport/Muscle trucks and have deceided to share them together in one Under Glass post, I'll give the specific's of my truck and Jordan can do the same. '91 GMC Sierra ST- 350, 4spd Automatic, Shortbed Fleetside, Single cab, 2WD, 3 tone factory paint Scheme (Onyx Black, Crimson Red, and Quick Silver), SLE luxury Décor Package, Custom Cloth Reclining Highback Buckets and Console, Sport Handling Package Plus (Rear sway bar + Bilstein shocks), A/C delete, and a sliding rear window.

Will do, soon as I get a chance. Nick

Looks Great Kris, can they be ordered directly from you? Nick

Our next meeting is the 15th NOT the 22nd of this month at 6:30PM, look forward to seeing you there. Nick

Okay your in. Nick

Yes I read it, just wasn't sure how thick it was and if there was an alternative, I look at some pictures that were hung, and it seemed thick. I'll check Micheal's this weekend. thanks, Nick

That would be quite interesting, if you get done some others and want to join, or just want to join, just tell me what you want to buuild. Nick

Matt got thinking, have no idea what to use for winch cable, thoughts? Nick

Ahh ok, my Dad built one as a kid, hmm fathers day is coming up shortly, might have to stop at the LHS and see if he's got one. Nick

Donald you'll enjoy the AMT Muscle car Combo, '66 Fairlane GT/GTA, '65 Pontiac GTO and '68 Plymouth Roadrunner, there all great kits, the combo just makes it easier to get all 3 at once which Black Widow did you get? '57 Chevy 210 Or the Hot Rod? Nick

I got to thinking about this today and thought, this might just be some fun for the guys around here who like building those old Tri-Five Chevy's and those other finned 50's cars, I'm guilty of wanting to build a few oldies myself. So this brings us to this point in time, the guide lines/ rules: 1.)It has to be Detroit Iron (domestic vehicles, sorry JDM guys, just seems these old tanks don't get much attention) 2.)Engines can be V8 or V6 only, these can be inline/straight, or OHV 3.)Vehicles can be built as they would appear by 1960 or brand new if built within 1950-1959 4.)Entrants, please leave your name and vehicle choice 5.)Vehicles can be built in any style as long as the parts added are period correct, so no radial tires or electronic fuel injection 6.)Wagons, Roadsters, Coupes, Sedans 2 & 4 door, Wagons 2 & 4 door, as well as Convertibles are welcome I will also allow Sedan Delivery's and El Camino/ Ranchero's as well as light trucks (pickups & panels) Build will start On June 24th, 2011 and end June 24th, 2012 Entrants: Nick Winter-'58 Plymouth Fury, '57 Chevy 150 Police car, '58 Impala Drag Car Keef- AirFilter-'50 Ford pickup, '53 Ford Victoria convertible, '57 Chevrolet 150, '58 Chevrolet Corvette scale trucker- '54 Chevy Bel Air DiscoSpud- '59 Ford Galaxie Sixties Sam- '53 Ford Hard Top mistermodel- '55 Chevy Cameo Carrier Scalper- '58 Plymouth Belvedere Hypermung-'59 Dodge 2Dr HT wgflatliner- '50's Ford, 2 '53 Hudsons BDub-'50 Chevy 3100 69Mopar-'50 Chevy 3100, '57 Chevy Bel Air Just incase your confused, which is understandable, sometimes things that make sense to me, don't to others, I'll give the gist of it, build a vehicle how it would appear in the 50's (Ie '58 Fury would look new, '49 Chevy would look a bit wore in but still very new) Nick

At the rate I'm going, no should be done by 2053 though Nick Kidding aside I think I can make that.

Appparently so Nick

I'm also still in this, just been stuck on how to do the winches and the sling. any help would be great. Nick
