Another way to make the mpc (deserter) into a two wheel drive.

Since I am in the process of making the MPC "Deserter" GMC into not only a two wheel drive pickup, but a '81 Chevrolet as well.  I have read on here about using a chevy van kit for the two wheel drive conversion. Then it struck me why not see if a '88-94 Chevy C-1500 parts would work. So I took a short bed 90's promo, and unscrewed the chassis to check into if it would fit. The body/bed fit right down on that promo chassis like they were made for each other! the wheels line up perfectly under the '84 GMC cab/bed. So I found an sealed '90 step side C-1500 that will become the needed parts for the two wheel drive '81 Chevrolet pickup.  I bought a copy of Ice mans Collections '81 Chevy pickup gill to complete the conversion from GMC to Chevrolet
