Hey, you asked an open ended question... these two were built when the kit was first released eons ago....

MVC-002S

NNL East Team Truck! A real work vehicle with those little touches we'd do to it!

Chassis weathering represents a well cared for, but street used truck.

A flaw on this kit that you may want to fix... look at the relationship between the body and the interior tub.  There is space around the two sides and rear that you can see up inside the body!   I added plastic at the rear, and the step to either side.  I'm not sure my step is absolutely correct, but back in the 1980s you were flying without the Internet!

and here's the nose of one...

And through the magic of the Internet, here's what that floor should look like.  I see the step should be shorter and the back panel goes all the way across.

I'll have to build another one!

Here is one that I did with a ZR-1 Corvette drivetrain and added 55 sedan side trim:

Neat, How did you do that trim? Is it scratched or grafted from the 55 Chev kit or??

The Revel 55 car has the trim molded separately. with a little persuasion it fit the contour of the bed sides and blended with the forward spear on the door
