WillyBilly Posted January 17 Posted January 17 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.
Fabrux Posted January 17 Posted January 17 Canuck 3D has the wheels. https://canuck3d.ca/product/?cd3-034 2
Jim B Posted January 18 Posted January 18 What about mirrors? The mirrors in the C3500 kit look a little dinky to me. Especially if you're towing something. 2

Great guy, and great products.
vincen47 Posted January 19 Posted January 19 I haven’t located a good set of towing mirrors, yet. Those are needed.

Fabrux Posted January 20 Posted January 20 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). 2

mikemodeler Posted February 6 Posted February 6 If someone offered a resin or 3D 4x4 chassis for these trucks I'd bet they would sell well. 1

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.
