Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
hey, thanks OlBlue!
first day of spring? yeah right, just got 3 more inches of rain. horrible, horrible yr for hrs. got to do something to keep my mind off the bills! cant be affording the 60+ bucks for the old truck kits i like right now, so...more re-hashing! old wrecker model ('bout 20 yrs old). wrecker body will probably migrate to a '72 chev. undecided to go with a checkerplate flatdeck & make a knarly ol' bush truck, or shorten the frame to fit a shortbox i have & do a 1 ton dually shortbox. of course it will be 4x4 |

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
cause i only want to pay for shipping once, i'm also ordering some swamps & 8 lug slot mags for this van i been playing around with for awhile. tires on it right now swiped i from one of my sons toys. probably going to ditch the crappy lift block lift with some proper springs too.
think i'm going to put the wrecker body on here. and yes, it will go 4by too. between the 3 trucks, this should keep my hands bloody till work picks up again! |

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
The van is cool reminds me of my high school days. Like the round window. I've got a century wrecker and been looking for 72 tonner to put it on

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
I just stumbled on this thread, and thought someone had stolen my models!!! I have a crapload from in my mothers attic, that thinking someday I will do something with them...But right now my G/F is on her way home so we can get a real truck to build!!! I book marked the page where you got the tires and wheels and stuff, I will be building a model of my truck next winter.
Biggest problem I have is no where to paint. When it's nice out Im always doing something else, this summer probly playing softball with my daughter, and when not with her then riding the 4 wheelers with the G/F that she was so nice enough to buy!!!!! Your builds are awesome, I will be watching.. |

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
yeah b454rat, if you want to 4by any model, BNL Resin is the place to go. you might want to check out these guys too, LOTS of cool rims
http://www.scenesunltd.com/ i get most of my junk from these two and i'm always po'ing the wife for trying to spray my models in the house, too cold in the garage as well as real danger from doggie damage! once the nice weather hits, pretty much be it for models till next winter. we be camping & quadding too! did decide to go flatdeck though, shortbox dually porportions just did not look right. spent a half an hour getting the revell 1 ton rim to fit the swamper....times 6.... started throwing together a flatdeck hate how a "flat" flatdeck leaves everything uncovered hanging out lookin' ugly, so 2 lock boxes & checkerplate side skirting will go on, maybe a big c.plate tool box across the front too another gumby revell model, everything is molded in, the engine, visor, master cyc, mufflers, bah! list goes on. luckily when i first built it i cut out the molded engine & dropped a 350 in it. would like to go 454, dont have one, but i do have a 427, so there it be. going to remove a bunch of the molded in this time too |

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
yay! weather is finally picking up, slowin down on the builds now.
like i said, another revell reject. dont know why they insist on punching holes all over the body. also note the total lack of cab ribbing also removed that ugly molded in visor, a real one is going on same miserable story inside. dont have any more spare tubs so i'll haft to make do. notice no window cranks or handles...a little bit of plastic, a little bit of glue... |

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
SWEET! these nice 8 lug slots for my van showed up in the mail today-whats more '70's than these on a van!
think i went a little overboard with the styrene on my flatdeck.not a 100% sure on this, still have to add side markers, maybe a change or 2 if those taillights look vaguely familiar, think '97 vette |

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
have'nt been getting a lot done lately, spring finally came & making up for some lost hrs & have also been unstoring the truck & camper
did get more junk in the mail. some more 38's for the dually, a t-case for it, some drum brake backing plates, some d60 parts & a set of 44's for another project. not shown are 2 D60 axles & a lund visor supposed to be a front & rear D60 axle set. somewhere somehow i ended up with 2 rear axles. not going to send a $2 part back, so some cutting, some careful drilling... revell cheaped out on the stock duallys, just an inner & outer rim & squeeze the tires against each other. made some liners/spacers, whatever you want to call them, keeps the tires way more solid, & i can gap them now. once there black should'nt be able to see them |

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
putting stripes on the dually cab is taking a little longer than i thought. did get the 427 mounted, t-case, d.shafts, all that stuff is in. hope my cab clearence lights hurry up & get here.
while been waiting for stuff to dry, started screwing around with my van just working out a graphic plan with paper patterns, pretty sure this one is going to be.....surprise, surprise, black (fav color). got some big honkin' iroks for it too |
