resin kit quistions

[anarximis]

ok iam kind of new to resin and i was wanting to build a mid 80's chevy c/k 3500 and i found a kit that had the cab, bed,interior tub, and the frame i was just wanting to know where would be best to get the rest of said truck

There is a 98 Chevy duallie snap kit that you could rob the wheels and tires from, there are plenty on 454s out there to put in it.

Newt's Boneyard may have something you can use for grilles and bumpers.  B-N-L Resins has all of the suspension parts you might need.  You picked a tough kit to get parts for Steve!!  Good luck.

If you aren't hung up on a full detailed chassis and engine for the truck, Brian's suggestion above would be the best way to go. The snap kit will build much faster and easier than the resin (not to mention cheaper!) and those kits can still be found relatively cheap. Search eBay, they can be found as promos as well as unassembled kits and look spot on.

If the resin kit is your decision, then depending on what is included for the chassis leaves you with some choices to make. If you are in need of suspension and a drivetrain, the easiest solution is to look for a '90 SS454 AMT pickup kit. It will have the engine and chassis pieces you need. If you need dually wheels and tires, go Scenes Unlimited and pick a set, they are correct for the truck and Danny is a great guy to deal with.
