Platerpants Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) find u self a 1/32 scale semi and use them I used a set of a diecast 1/32 scale kw on my 3500 chevy I used monogram 1/32 kenworth wheels on my 1/25 speccast f350 that i converted to a F550 dually. Not the best picture of the wheels or the truck though. It started out lookin like this i broke the original wheels when i took them off though for the conversion and the f250 in the back is done up in a shelby theme Edited September 2, 2013 by Platerpants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MsDano85gt Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 by mis matched bed you mean newer ford f 350 dually bed with a older ford single cab? or are you referring to the 2nd bed that i "scratchbuilt" with just bed sides and leftover materials? pill bottle wheel wells...... wth mis matched blue/ red was intentional i tiik apart a glue bomb someone had gotten glue fingerprints all over the side of one bedrail, so i had spare regular non dually bed panels laying around i cut and spliced back together....... using all my parts/ materials here i try not to waste good styrene!

MsDano85gt Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 Pretty cool project! Is the mis-matched bed intentional? i had a glue bomb bed, so the sides were scarred up bad (melted in a couple spots) so i got my junklot p/u stuff out had some non dually bed sides (lt blue) plastic i cut and spliced the parts together to make decent bed without the melted glue spots.......
