Don't worry, I didn't know until last year either. I'd be ok with them releasing it again. It really builds up nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 It’s interesting to put the snap kit next to the full detail glue kit.. glue kit came first and you can see what was copied into the snapper.. there are details, like tail lights, that are better done in the snap kit!

I agree. I've decided, I like using the snap kit (which is getting high and harder to come by) for the "stock" appearance. I like using the glue kit for manipulating like lowering... and curbside. I cannot get everything to fit like it's supposed to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot get everything to fit like it's supposed to. Agreed! There is something in the front assembly of the glue kit that keeps it from sitting right on the chassis. The bed is one piece on the snap kit, but the box on the glue kit fits together very well and nearly snaps together. But if you attempt to glue the assemblies to the chassis nothing lines up! The running boards on a 1:1 truck sit tight against the bottom of the cab body. There is a huge gap on both versions of the kit! Since I built the glue kit first, I moved the running board mounts to make it fit flush. Then the bed was off where it keys into the running boards. So I adjusted it’s height on the chassis with shims and pins until it all lined up. In the end my truck sits fairly high. On the two snap kits I gave away, I just left the running board gap as the kit assembles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KWT Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 Yes, the glue and snap kits are both what is considered the rarer 5 window cab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
