93 chevy x-cab 4x4

Just started on this one,daily driver type truck

So far all i've done is, stretched an old blazer chassis & a bit of mock up.

The axles are a bit wide (1/24),but i can live with it

[Scalper]

Nick,the axles are from the monogram chevy stepside 4x4 kit.

James, haven't decided on a color yet, any suggestions?

Personally I would have re-arched the springs and attached taller shackles to give it a bit more lift. Looks kinda tame sitting at stock height!

As far as color, I think a nice bright red would look great on it. Of course you would have to make sure to have a white base coat for it to really pop.

[JamesW]

White, with some mud splatter.

Looks good so far it could use a little lift to make it look better

I'm going for a mild stocker look,I have another truck & parts to build a high-lift later

Looks good to me! Maybe a factory style two tone paint job?

[cobra98]

Thanks Mark...may have to give the two tone paint a try

Did a bit more,still undecided on paint & not sure if i should put the topper on it

[Eshaver]

Joe, Teal, Dark Metallic Red or a Burgundy , The Kandy Green , Forest Green Metallic , shoot even Testors Dark Blue metallic looks great on these trucks . Ed Shaver

Hi Joe!... If you use the topper on it I think it could use some windows in it for more realistic look...it may work better for it? Looks good so far! Keep at it...

[Jared Roach]

Looks good so far!

I wouldn't use the topper, I think they look dumb on pick ups.

You can also buy 1:1 toppers with no windows, so ya

[Maaso]

Where did you get that topper?

[JamesW]

Where did you get that topper?

From me. They come in the OOP AMT Snapfast C1500 Ext. Cab. It's not shown on the box, but it comes with it.

[Chris guthro]

Id say paint it the pewter color. Like the champaign gold you see the newer 2500Hd's running around with. Too bad nobody made the newer 8 lug GMC wheel that comes stock on the newer 3/4 tons.

Truck looks really good, I like the cap its different.
