tuffone20 Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 that's a nice save and a very good job! I like the way it sets....
Railfreak78 Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 That truck came out beautiful Jason! Fantastic save!

plasticfrog Posted March 2, 2010 Author Posted March 2, 2010 Looks great .What did you use for a chassie on this one ?I love the stance . Hi Rick I used the gmc chassis and lowerd it the same way as a real truck.
disabled modeler Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 Hi Jason!....The truck is sweet!!! Nice job on saving the old girl...
torinobradley Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 Hi Rick I used the gmc chassis and lowerd it the same way as a real truck. Was that the right way with modified springs and lowered spindles or the low-buck way where they heat the springs till they sag and the truck rides on the rubber snubbers??? Nice save!!! I, too have one of these waiting in the "save" pile. I only hope it comes out this good.

plasticfrog Posted March 3, 2010 Author Posted March 3, 2010 Fabulous build. Got one of the '78 stepsides in the works myself BTW. After seeing yours, I'm gonna have to start another one and ad the side trim and two-tone it,, just love how yours looks. Thanks Steve when you get it done I would like to see it.
sjordan2 Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 Very nice and clean. What paint did you use for the gunmetal?
