That truck looks awesome, Pat keep up the good work whats gonna be under the hood on this one. Did you have to use a donor kit for this if so what did you use and again she looks awesome. Like Goldmember will say "I Like Gold".

Kit is complete except drivetrain. You supply wheels, tires, motor/trans, driveshaft.

Kitchen Table Resins 300 c.i. - 6 is going in it.

Thanks, guys.

Pat, how is the suspension set up, seperate springs or molded into the chassis?

I'm wondering how hard it will be to do one of these as a 4x4, seperate springs would certainly make a conversion easier.

Good looking truck so far.

Split I-Beam up front, separate springs out back... not molded in.

A good 4X4 conversion kit will be a good fit here, Aaron.

I see this one does not have the oversize parking lights the truck in the original post had. Do you know if the back of the cab was fixed? It's nice to see the chassis was detailed some.

Other than those issues, Ertl did a good job on this tooling.
