I know a few make grills. I have a ICEMAN work truck grill for the C3500 dually. But I am looking for stock 3/4 ton-1 ton SRW steel wheels, fender flares, and 4x4 conversions for both AMT 2wd trucks ATM make. I want to recreate my 2000 K3500 plow truck. I have the long bed from another kit with matching chassis for the 1500 sport curbside kit. I thought I saw factory style fender flares some place but can't seem to find them. Correct 8 lug steel wheels for the platform seem to be non-existent.

What about mirrors?  The mirrors in the C3500 kit look a little dinky to me.image.jpeg.86ad3c96284893e68a42c648375d960d.jpeg

Especially if you're towing something.

Few Sprues Loose has the fender flares. I picked up a set at the Detroit Show, but he also sells on EBay. Great guy, and great products.IMG_0178.thumb.jpeg.c69443eb638a1d1dd9eccb946fa897aa.jpegIMG_0177.thumb.jpeg.096e2567efbbb0b7086294deacb70425.jpeg

I seen them before, but now that I am looking for them, they are no longer listed.

I bet if you message him and ask, he may be able to list them.

The mirrors in the dually kit are straight from the old promos, unfortunately, which are actually the S-10 mirrors (and in South American GMT400s). Large tow mirrors that mount low on the door could probably be adapted from Fireball items, but 3DVM has the regular mount style mirrors that were on 88-93 trucks (also in the original kits and the monster trucks).

He has them re-listed on the ebay page.

And he did. He made a few, and I got two sets.

Awesome, glad he could help. Great builds you’ve got going there.

If someone offered a resin or 3D 4x4 chassis for these trucks I'd bet they would sell well.

Agreed. I am trying to figure chassis and drivetrain now. I am thinking Cadillac Escalade for the drivetrain.

Agreed! 4x4 conversion parts would be most welcome. And as I said before, some proper mirror options.

There are a lot of other accessories that could be made, like running boards, visors, bed covers/caps…the list goes on.
