Used the cab from an MPC '78[ish] Chevy 4X4 annual with fresh chassis and box from a more current '84 [ish] GMC.

Chassis has been "Z-ed" about 4 scale inches just behind the cab and the bed floor moved up. Spare tire removed and a couple crossmembers added. Rear suspension is 4th gen Vette with coil over front suspension both from the AMT street rod version '34 Ford coupe. Steering rack is scratch made with poseable wheels. Wheels and tires are 3-D printed. Exhaust is solder with mufflers and hanger scratch made.

Cab and bed have side trim added, door handles and drip rails shaved as well as resin bumpers with shaved bolt heads. Grille is modified to '73/'74 GMC style with custom designed and printed grille inserts added.
Paint is Tamiya in a custom mixed "apple green" shade with racing white sides. Bed floor opens with scratch made struts.

Beautiful paint and body trim. Like the custom touches on the interior and the colors used. Great stance.

Great build! I loved watching the WIP thread. I'm not a GM fan but man I love this truck and that license plate is perfect.
