1972 Chevy Cheyenne 4x4

[spencer1984]

Bult from AMT's '72 Cheyenne kit, with a modified frame from Revell's '66 Chevy pickup and the engine from their '69 Nova. The drivetrain is a combination of parts from AMT's '84 GMC and scratch building, with resin wheels from eBay sleeved to fit Monogram's big off-road Goodyears. More info on the build is available here, and as always any comments/criticisms are welcome.

Very nice to see one of these getting-rare kits built.  I read your blog description, where do you get felt paper?  Detail Master used to have it, but that was decades ago.  I have a few of these kits, the promo chassis sure needs work, good to know about the '66.  You did this justice, well done!

Thanks, Kurt! I got it from one of the craft stores, either Michael's or JoAnn's, in their craft paper section.

That's a good looking old Chevy truck! What floor pan did you use under the cab?

[larman]

Nice job! 

[spencer1984]

Thanks, guys! The cab floor is out of the same '66 that donated the frame...I'm not sure if it's 100% accurate here, but it looked close enough for what I wanted and fit the AMT cab surprisingly well.

Doesn't matter IMO. No one would know unless you told them. It give the underside a nice finished look and that matters most to me. The reason I asked is I have a '68 to build sometime and I immediately noticed it in the chassis photo.

very nice work.  The suspension modifications to the AMT kit look very well done.
