[hooknladderno1]

Does anyone know if a long bed 1960's Chevy or GMC pickup?  I bought a 1964 Chevy kit at a show and want to convert it into a longer chassis utility body. Any help? Thanks!

The AMT and SMP '60-'66 Chevrolets were longbed 1/2 tons (3/4 ton uses the same wheelbase). The beds do not directly interchange with the Revell kit, though, as the bed is 1/4" wider on the older kits and it does have s slightly different shape at the lower part of the bedsides from the cab. It's nothing that can't be worked with, though. The frame, however, is a different story. The frames on those its are very similar to the AMP/MPC '67-'72 Chevy/GMC kits, wit a ll the details molded to the frame. They also have the torsion bar front suspension, which is only correct for '60-'62. Lengthening the Revell frame would be the better option.

Here's a link to a page with all the body and wheelbase dimensions. https://www.gmheritagecenter.com/docs/gm-heritage-archive/vehicle-information-kits/Chevrolet-Trucks/1964-Chevrolet-Truck.pdf
