I have the Revell GMC plow truck, and I just wanna make sure that the two trucks aren't too far apart in actual dimensions. The MAD bed won't work on the Revell plow truck, they're different scales and the bed is too small.

Welp, guess I'll have to cut up the bed from the second truck I have. That's gonna be fun...right?

Yep, extending Chevy beds is fun because you have to add to both ends. Fortunately the Revell bed is multiple pieces so it shouldn't be too bad. The MPC bed is one piece so when I made the master for the MAD bed cleaning up the inside was a pain.

I would not suggest using our bed on that kit.

crowe-t Posted March 30 Posted March 30 (edited) The difference in wheelbase between the short bed(6.5") and long bed(8") trucks is 14". You would have to add 14 scale inches ahead of the rear wheel arch as well as ahead of the rear end on the chassis. Then about 6 scale inches behind the rear wheel arch as well as to the chassis behind the rear end. Edited March 30 by crowe-t 1
