Buildsince93 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Just a quick question, I'm getting back into building and have decided I want to make a dually version of the revell silverado I built this version back when it came out and I've been looking at revells website and I see this version My question is are they the same kit? Are there parts in this new version to build a stock truck? or is this a different kit altogether? any info would be great thanks! -Dante Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Hamilton Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 It's the same basic kit, with a lowering suspension and custom wheels and tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok thanks, is the suspension to make it the stock ride height included? or only the lowered suspension? I need to find that kit so I can make a copy of my daily driver. That looks sweet! are those the 20's chevy was offering through dealers? heres a few places for it 99 Silverado Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Winter Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 The older box art is a stock only kit, the red truck is a custom kit, it has lowered suspension only and some other in my opinion cheezy junk. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prostockmania Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I believe the lowrider kit might just be a re-release of the waverider kit that had the truck and jet ski(with no jet ski this time), with different options, there are a few of the stock 99 on evil-bay right now for around 10.00 plus shipping.

LOBBS Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 The Lowrider kit is basically the truck from the Waverider release with the exception of the stock grill and front bumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buildsince93 Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 Ok thanks everyone! I had forgotten about the wave rider truck and that makes sense that it's just a reissue of that, I'll probably snag one of the older ones off ebay then!

Danno Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 While we're on this subject, my question is .... does the custom pickup kit pictured also include the stock parts? Can it be built stock with stock stance? TIA (Emoticon indicating "TIA" here.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesW Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 It doesn't include the stock suspension, hood or tailgate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova-ss Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 My question is what parts do you need to make it a dually and or a 2500 or 3500.I have made a stock version and want a 2500 and 3500 and yes,dually truck.I know the rearend and springs have to change and the rims have to change.the decals have to say 2500 or 3500. what else has to change.and or course the where do you get the bed rear fenders or the whole bed with the rear fenders atteached.Thanks.TIA,Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also want to mix the wrecker kit or utility bed with the AMT 93 F-150 to make an F-350 too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buildsince93 Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 While I'm thinking about it, is there a resin of the Cheyenne front end that would work with the older silverado kits? this front: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jantrix Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 What I'd like to know is how long after production of this kit Revell realized the cover car is missing its driver side headlight lenses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesW Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 There is a resin crew cab dooley conversion out there for the 99, not sure who makes it but it pops up on Ebay once in a while. As for the W/T grille for the AMT kits, AAM made them but they are long out of business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buildsince93 Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 Ah, ok thanks for the info! maybe I could mock something up based off an older s10 grill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire front clip is different. The bed from the kit could be used with a 2500 extended cab, as the 6.5' bed was available with that cab. The other 2500s and 3500s used the 8' bed. The frame and front suspension are also different, in addition to the rear suspension and axle. The 2500 and 3500 used a torsion bar front suspension w/forged control arms on boht 2wd and 4x4 models. As far as the cab and bed go, I have seen both available in resin, not sure of whe makes them, as i saw them at a show in Indy. I might have the casters name, as i did purchase a few items from him. I think I still have his card. If I find it, I'll let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the info on this.I don't know what the hood for the HD trucks would look like.is it a tuff scrath build to do? I do alot of scratch building.....I do love that. is the engine that is in the 99 kit the right one for the heavier trucks?Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for this info on the truck.I have a couple rearends like the ones used in the 3500's.I'll make the springs and perchs for the springs.I guess I will look for some info on the front to see if I can make the front suspension as well.what is different in the frame besides length and highth? and is there a dual tanks and where are they located? is the engine that is in the 1500 the same or is it different as well? yes if you can find the casters name I would like the contact info.again I thank you for the info on this truck.Thank you,Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longbox55 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 The frames are similar in basic design, most of the difference is in the suspension mounting, material thickness, and siderail channel depth. You should be able to use the 1500 frame as a base to start from. The pickups never had a factory dual tank option, so the factory tank will be fine. As far as engines go, most 3500s on the GMT800 chassis ('00-'07) used either the Vortec 8100 big block or a Duramax Deisel, neither of which have been done in scale to my knowledge. The Vortec 6.1 did see use in theem as well, and would be virtually identical to the 1500. The transmissions were either the 4L80E (light duty) or the Allison 1000. The 4L80E can be found in the AMT 454SS. Manual transmissions were mostly NV4500. For the front suspension, it follows the same basic layout as the AMT Tahoe, though with forged lower control arms instead of the ealier stamped control arms that the Tahoe has, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan White Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Minor error Bill, it was a 6.0 they used, not a 6.1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
