Chevrolet 3500 Dually Rack Body Work Truck

[RyanSilva]

Hi Guys I'm building a show case rig for a few new wheel and tire combos I got in the works. Its starting out as a early 90's AMT issue of the 1500 sportside for the cab items (sportside bed being used on future project) Its 84" from cab to axle. The flat bed was from the Ford c-600 stake bed with diamond plate on top. im not gonna be correct as far as the chassis goes,since im using the light duty 1500 forward portion, I just backhalved it roughly for now.

The wheels are my super single10 holes on front and the rears are from the transtar 4300 which I modified to be a bit better than they are from the kit.

I can go duals, single or a really massive wide rear single, most likely duals, but the really wides are really cool looking for a tubbed back half.

Where did the wheel and tires come from? Btw that's a vary nice build.

I make them, they are in the fine tuning stage before I start to sell my copies

I have a Mack super liner cab and a Chevy Dooley bed that I have as a on going project and those look perfect. They look a lot lower profile then the normal heavy duty tires.

Hi Shane, they are based on my many versions of the Satco Bridgestone tire, Ive made them into many widths, so making a resin hard copy allows me to chuck them in my lathe and machine the tire to 22 inches instead of the 15-16 that they normally are, which in result gives me a lower sidewall profile like those on 19.5 commercial tires.

the wide one would be cool on a slamed dooley but i have the custom wheels set in the Italerl truck parts sets what size are them...

I definitely want to buy a set of those front wheels and tires when youre ready to sell them.

They are 22.5's in 1/25.

I got the body started, ended up going with a rack setup, need to add a bunch more to it but the basic structure is here.

I drilled a few holes on the bed to 1/16 to insert 1/16 sprue to the bottom of the supports so everything lines up
