I like the looks of that one much better!

Hey Frenchblue72, is there any chance that the 69-70 grille on that blazer would fit on the dub city truck? If so i'm going to have to find one of those banks and swap them. thanks in advance.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 08-19-2003, 06:10 PM

Sorry the wix bank is to narrow.

I was thinking the same thing. Too bad.

Hotrod70C10 · 08-19-2003, 08:31 PM

That sucks.....

FRENCHBLUE72 · 08-20-2003, 01:00 AM

Some one on here got a pannel off of e-bay awhile back . I can not remember who ????

FRENCHBLUE72 · 08-20-2003, 01:01 AM

Anyone know if the wheel's just pull off or how would I go about putting new one's on???

Hotrod70C10 · 08-20-2003, 01:49 AM

hey frenchblue72, the wheels just pull off. Turn them just a little while holding the opposite wheel. they will pull off after a few twists. The rod they are mounted on looks like a file. hope that helps oh, I used regular model car wheels that I had from a buick gsx. I'm thinking about finding some different wheels and some big wide rear tires for it though. Oh if you use the standard little model car wheels and tires you will have to make a new rod that is longer for the wheels to mount onto.

69sixpackbee · 08-20-2003, 10:47 AM

I like 'em except for the funky-ass "Homeboy" wheels

dinnut · 08-20-2003, 04:14 PM

i took the bed off mine and dont see how to lift it... how do you lift/ lower these?

trinic · 08-20-2003, 04:31 PM

I need to replace the wheels with some nice ralleys......

Truck use to be the silver one, but I sanded and filled in the trimming, etc. Tried to match color of my truck...
Enjoy.

Hotrod70C10 · 08-20-2003, 04:56 PM

Lifting it up is easy but you can only do it just a little bit. If you pull the "axle" out of the truck and run it in the slot under where it actually goes. You might have to drill it out a bit though. If that doesn't make any sense i'll get some pics of it for you.

rambler · 08-20-2003, 06:00 PM

Sounds like we might need to do a another board.. the Dub city, 1/24 or 1/18th, scale kit truck board....

Chevy_68 · 08-20-2003, 07:17 PM

yo trinic how did you fill in the moulding bondo or whati doing the same thing on mine makeing it look how i want my truck to look like when its done

FRENCHBLUE72 · 08-20-2003, 09:30 PM

Thank's for the help guy's .. Trinic look's like you got some time into that . Look's good.

trinic · 08-21-2003, 08:46 AM

I used the bondo that comes in a squeeze bottle (ready to use). Took me a while to try and get the cracks filled in. Sanded, primered, sanded, primered, etc... Didn't come out perfect, but It was my first shot at it.....
Thx,

PS- As you can see in the first picture I tried to make the cab a small window (like my truck), but the bondo didn't hold up.....

Andy4639 · 08-23-2003, 04:32 AM

Here are some of mine that I have done. The trucks are 1/24th and the panel is 1/25.
