Wow there are some awesome WIP trucks you guys are building!

here is my 1965 C10 project.  converting from shortbed to longbed, and adding all the customCab trim and changed it over to a small rear window.  I started a separate build thread on it.

What is your source for the '57 Ranchero body? Like the Pontiac / El Camino. I used to own a '95 Chevy c1500 extended cab short bed like you're building. What kits did you use to source the bed and camper shell?

The  Ranchero body is from the orginal release that came in the old flat box kit. The Chevy truck is a long bed. from this kit

'63 unibody shortbox mockup, checking wheelbase on foose chassis: perfect! I'll narrow the track and adjust ride height as I go...

I'm posting this one here in the hope that it might inspire me to get on with it!

AMT Courier which I was planning to fit with the V6 from (I think) a Revell '90 Thunderbird. I still like my plans for it, just need to get over working with the soft styrene and decide whether I'm going to get the bed sitting at a more accurate level relative to the cab.

Haven’t been able to do much paintwork on these two due to the weather, unfortunately and they’re just hanging out in the back ground of my latest Travolta-Bird ZL-1 build pics.

This is the AMT '72 Chevy Coke truck. Already inserted the prescription bottle wheel tubs. Wheels are a home brew center caps from the Nova kit and tires rolled out of the bone yard

Here is one I hope to do before the end of the year for the Powered by Ford CBP.
Its going to be built in the Shelby style similar to the 1956 "Snakebit" F100.
It will have a Ford Powerstroke diesel engine for kicks.

Been messing around with some old and new versions of the AMt c1500 and c3500. I have some ideas brewing for some future builds. I’ll need to add some more full kits to the stash to accomplish the hoard I’m after. Question: does anyone make a gmc grille for this series? I know the phantom dually has a gmc style grille but those are kinda rare plus the lack of emblem leaves them needing more. 
I’ll need to hack and slash to make a crew cab option.
