Well this is Big red's boy. He's his dady's boy through and through, even a similar color and name, Lil' Red. Ok this is a rare MPC 1988 Chevy Silverado annual kit, that I got in a trade from Blue Coyote, it was already painted but I like the color and I'm gonna leave it. this will be of a similar nature to big red but a work truck of a diffrent kind. I've got a bunch of these truck and am at no shortage of parts.

Silverado looks good Nick. I like the diamond plate tool box idea and I think you were right to shim up the rear end. Those tools and hardhats look familier - they the ones we traded?

Thanks Jim. Thanks, yeah she semmed low in the rear. They are.

Very nice, Nick! The toolbox is a nice extra touch. Makes it look like it's actually being used for work!

Thanks, I thought it needed something else.
