Re: Post Pics of your 1960-1966 Chevrolet & GMC Scale Model Pickups
When my first GMC model went together 15 years ago it had black wheels and kit hubcaps:
 Within a few weeks it was wearing 5 spoke mags and slicks:  I got tired of all three models wearing the same wheels and tires, and coincidentally needed the mags and slicks for a new gasser model I’m building. So I recently decided it was time to switch back to factory rims. I was going to install another set of black wheels, but since I had the original ivory colored rims from the 1961 truck, I used those instead along with a new set of 57 Chevy passenger car hubcaps:  The wheel color doesn’t match the grille/bumper, so I may repaint everything the same color down the road. The bedroom lighting didn’t help much either, but overall I really like the change.

Re: Post Pics of your 1960-1966 Chevrolet & GMC Scale Model Pickups
I agree. Very cool story and thanks for sharing. That's the stuff that makes it all worthwhile. I imagine it probably is still sitting on the shelf, perhaps more treasured than the real thing.

Hey 1BAD62Pro/Street,
we saw your truck and it is very amazing. I am rebuilding an 1963 c10 fleetside with my son and we have this questions. 1. Which backspacing are you running on your front and rear wheels ? 2. I was looking for a model car kit like yours for hours, but i did't find anything. Where can i get an 1963 fleetside longbed ore somthing like your model ? Thanks a lot Chris Quote:

Re: Post Pics of your 1960-1966 Chevrolet & GMC Scale Model Pickups
Man, I wish I still had mine.
About 15 years ago I had a friend who's dad painted high end cars. He had some Candy Apple Pearl left over from a job which cost about 300/qt. I took my 1966 C10 Fleetside over there and he painted it with that paint. I went all out on details on that truck including plug wires made out of thread. I used parts from several other models and it had a real hotrod look to it. It is what got me interested in the 60-66 Chevys. A couple years ago I trashed and some more I think it due to the glue starting to let go and wish like crazy I would not have. |

Re: Post Pics of your 1960-1966 Chevrolet & GMC Scale Model Pickups
found some other rims to try out
started pulling it apart going with the "daisy" style 5 spokes. since their from a car, i have to make my own rims. my 14b does'nt have a cover, so making that too. on the plus side, found some calipers & rotors i can adapt, so one less thing to make started making leaf springs, had enough plastic to do ONE pack, down to the model shop tomorrow i guess. putty'ed up my 14b cover, will sand it to the 14b angular shape, also cut & modified the tubes on my 44. transfer case is out of later model chev, will knife & putty it to resemble a 205 couple rims done. will start modifying the frame tomorrow. also found a tunnel ram, hmmm... that 283 might have a hard time spinning them new tires. my son also just gave me the usa-1 monster truck in the background. seeing how i already have one, i'm thinking using the tires on my '58 cameo, ala skoal bandit style, or my '69 el camino, ala chevelle in a china shop dorito's commercial style Last edited by dieseldawg142; 11-18-2013 at 03:01 AM. |

Re: Post Pics of your 1960-1966 Chevrolet & GMC Scale Model Pickups
Has anyone been able to find or kitbash together a long stepside box? I've been thinking of this for a while and would like some pointers, plus, anyone here any good at custom casting parts like the old step bumpers?

The step side bed would be much easier to pull off with a plain styrene that you can purchase from most hobby shops.

Re: Post Pics of your 1960-1966 Chevrolet & GMC Scale Model Pickups
Much appreciated TexasJeff, I will look into that. I also might find online or at a hobby store to look for some diamond plate styrene so I can recreate the step bumper like mine has as well. Any pointers on extending a '64 shortbed frame into a longbed frame?

Re: Post Pics of your 1960-1966 Chevrolet & GMC Scale Model Pickups
I can’t remember which brand carries it (perhaps both do) but I’ve bought sheets of styrene diamond plate from either Plastruct or Evergreen. When skinned with Bare Foil, it looks real:
This is my original 1960 GMC model. The first two pictures were taken with flash, the last picture is without flash:    The scale may be off by a tad, but it fools the eye into thinking it’s correct.

Re: Post Pics of your 1960-1966 Chevrolet & GMC Scale Model Pickups
slow at work this time of the year, got bored & was digging threw my parts box & found these desert dawgs & rims.
built this 'bout 10 yrs ago, decided it's time for an upgrade. more of a 4by fan trying out the dawgs. unfortunatly the only front axle i have right now is a d44, so thats what it's getting thinking i might change the chromes to whitespokes |
