[73gmc454]

I've started a new project a 41 ford coe ,I got the cab from Ausie models and used a 78 chevy truck frame from the old mpc 2wd kit , removed the floor pan from the frame and made a couple mounts for the cab , the bottom a arms were broken so I made some new ones and also made it workin steering while I was at it ,working on getting a bed and rear fenders from a 40's pickup, heres the pics

what wheel and tires are they?

[73gmc454]

I'm not sure what kit the front wheel came from but the rears are from the lonestar and the tires are soft resin that I cast up, Hey I like your square

Great project. Keep us posted.

Nice old GM Pick'em ups trucks Chris and Ben!

Ben, I like the way this builod is shaping up, I like your choice of wheels.

What is going to make them turn, the Chevy small block you have in one of the pictures?

No way a big diesel fits under that cab!!
