1984 GMC update 4/10

[k100]

I started this today , I had a truck like this back in my younger days so I thought I would build it like my old truck.

I filled in the compartment doors on the bed , then added the chrome trim around the wheel openings, and side trim .

Bummer, but an even better reason to do a model of it!

By far, this is my favorite year/make/model of pick up.  Can't wait to see where this build goes.  Nice progres so far.

Yes sir! Since I can't afford to start a real project like that one, I have a few more model projects in mind inspired by these Detroit powered pickups on Youtube.

If I ever hit the Powerball jackpot , I'm going to buy a Prius or Leaf and stick a 6V71 in it ! Ha ha ha .

Done a little more , I sanded off the molded on drip rail and added a new ones , also added the chrome peace that runs under the back window and around the cab corners.

Really loving this build will deffently be watching this one. An I was wondering wha size or wha kinda styrene did you use for the wheel well trim???

[martinfan5]

Some nice work,  I might try this on the one I have, can you tell me what size strip styrene you used ?

[k100]

Thanks guys 

I used the .015 x .020 for the wheel opening and the drip rail.

.010 x .080 for the side molding.

Looking VERY nice! Had an '85 GMC K3500 Sierra Classic big block with the single rear wheels that I bought new and beat to death. Had great dreams to redo it, and I got as far as gathering all new OEM sheet metal fenders, doors, hood, complete box, even a new cab, wheels, tires, lift kit, a crate 502, new interior and LOADS of other bits and pieces. But, I just ran out of steam and sadly, sold it when I moved. BUT, your build is getting me to start gathering pieces again, although in 1/25th scale! Takes up a lot less room too! Keep the photos coming! Thanks for the incentive!  GREAT WORK!!!
