henry57 Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 Thought I'd post some pics of my project. Started out with an AMT GMC dually promo and a toy of a Topkick boom truck. I still need to shorten the frame a little to get the wheelbase right, and I'm not sure at all what color I should paint it. Thinking about two tone, maybe dark green and graphite or silver.
Eshaver Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 This will crrtainy be an interesting addition to any contest ! Looks fine ........ Ed Shaver
1972 Satellite Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 That looks very cool. Can't wait to see more.
vizio93 Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 looks good, who makes that cab? Oh yeah that looks really good, who does make it ?
george 53 Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 Those cabs are made by DG Prod.Inc. It's an outfit that makes them for commercial customers. They make quite a few different trucks. Street light service trucks, Civil service(City) trucks, tow, etc. I gotta few of them. They ARE toys, with lights that light, Flashers that flash, that kinda stuff. They ARE 25th scale though, and for TOYS they ARE nice! Their address is: DG productions, 160 Hope str, Suite 132, Longwood,Fla. 32750 Hope this helps.
george 53 Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 Guys, I DO believe that Henry has kitbashed his truck with an AMT dualie cab pickup. If he HAS he did a GREAT job on his conversion! After seein this,AND Chucks Bad Boy, these rascals are startin to get my juices flowin! I MAY hafta try my hand at one!

henry57 Posted December 23, 2009 Author Posted December 23, 2009 that would be a Chevy dually promo they never did a GMC promo. It was the chevy, I forgot I had put the gmc grille in it years ago.
James Flowers Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 I like the truck . You are off to a great start. Looking forward to more progress on this.
RodneyBad Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 Great looking TopKick. Nice conversion work.. I've been thinking about doing one . Too Bad DG Toys has up and disappeared. I've bought some cool trucks from them
BigBlockLyle Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 This looks sweet. I just wish that now someone would do a GMC Brigadier.
Chuck Most Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 Looking very nice so far! I never even knew there was a 1/25 Top Kick toy! I just finished an XXL dually pickup of my own- Keep us posted!
JamesW Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 Great looking TopKick. Nice conversion work.. I've been thinking about doing one . Too Bad DG Toys has up and disappeared. I've bought some cool trucks from them Does that stake truck say "Consumers Energy" on it?
RodneyBad Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 Does that stake truck say "Consumers Energy" on it? Why Yes it does. Good Eye.
JamesW Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 Why Yes it does. Good Eye. Wanna get rid of it it??????????????
henry57 Posted December 27, 2009 Author Posted December 27, 2009 Finally got some paint on it. It's a Mitsubishi eclipse color, in ppg single stage enamel. I'll let it cure a few days then I'll polish it a bit, should shine pretty good.
Greg Cullinan Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 Henry this is a nice truck.Paint looks good and I really like the way its looking chromeless.Can't wait to see her finished.Thanks
JamesW Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 That is a nice color, it looks like a charcoal metallic. Great job so far.
rollinoldskoo Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 swap out those wheels and tires for some chrome ones from the revell pete 359 or kenworth w900
