Nice job on those Chan! I like the weathering, very realistic.

And BTW, Welcome to the site!

You have a very nice collection of trucks there. They look like trucks that run around where I live. Nice and dirty and used a lot.

Chan-

Those are all very nice and realistic looking builds. Do you have any suspension detail shots for the Chevy? Where did you source the parts from? I am wanting to do a lifted 76 Chevy Stepside but I really don't want to have to scratchbuild it all.

thanks for the compliments guys. As for the suspension on the silverado, I scratch built it using styrene square tubing, a differential from a toyota hilux, kept the stock spindles, control arms and steering stabalizer bar (too keep the right track width). Its independent suspension using "drop spindles" with stock style torsion bars. (The pics show coil overs, but I changed that to the torsion bar setup. Realisticly this setup would be really weak running these big of tires.

Thanks for the reply. The pix are very helpful. Again, nice build.

Welcome to the site and wow cool set of trucks! That ford is really intimidating and I love the mud on the Chevy. I wish my mud came out that good. If you like lifted trucks check out the older 4x4/lifted trucks post. It has a lot from all of us. Also check out my buddy Mudpit602's truck under glass. I can't wait to see more from you!

When I looked at the pic of the Silverado at first, I thought it was a 1:1 that you took inspiration from. To me, made all the more believable by the forked up redneck lift! The Ford to me was even more believable, with the house in the back ground. A+!

SCARY STEERING!!
