gautreau Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 BTW where did you find a c10 model at?..I want one of those to build too..I just won a bid on ebay for a nissan hardbody,but since I slammed this truck im going a different route on the new nissan model when I finish this..plus I really like how you have your 4 link triangulated over the DS.. I found it at WalMart a few years ago.They are really hard to find now. When you find them now they're like almost $100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
