junkyardjeff Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 Not much happening with it right now since I am now working in the garage and yard but will find time to finish it on rainy days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkyardjeff Posted May 1, 2016 Author Share Posted May 1, 2016 The rain last week got me in the basement so I was able to do a little more on it,wanted to drop a 455 Olds in it but it would require a little more modification so I am going to install the original SBC and make it look like a late 70s motor. Now if I could just find some late 70s small hubcaps that look correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasticfrog Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 (edited) Nice project...here's one I did to inspire you. I used the 84 gmc bed and flip the rear-end to lower it. Also I sanded down the front suspension where it connects to the chassis to lower it. I painted with flok acrylic paints with future floor care as clear.

gatorincebu Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Looking good thus far. I like the detail painting you did on the underside. It looks good. Be Well Gator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkyardjeff Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 Its getting close to being done,it will go on the shelf before the hub caps arrive from Modelhaus and I find a pair of tail lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Hamilton Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I like this one so far. When I built mine, it did not have a front suspension setup in it, so I fitted the suspension setup from a Revell '72 Olds Cutlass. I have an unbuilt one in my collection, where I am going to mate it with a fleetside bed from the '84 GMC, and install a 6-cylinder in it, like a friend of mine had. I liked the way that truck drove.

junkyardjeff Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 I would like to have a fleetside bed and do have paint left over in case I do find one,this stepside was very close to being thrown in the trash since I almost ruined it in the 80s and glad I could save it.

junkyardjeff Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 I got a order in before they shut down but it might be a very long wait to get the parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
